Abstract

Abstract ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A conditioner and method for magnetically treating liquids such as water, gasoline and oil. The conditioner comprises a permanent magnet having opposed faces, the poles of which magnet are located at the faces, and a casing of a non-magnetic material about the magnet. The device is strapped, using appropriate means, externally to a portion, preferably non-magnetic, of a conduit through which the liquid is passing so that the magnetic field proximate the south pole of the magnet is exposed to the liquid. Reduction of calcium deposits in water lines, cleaner and more efficient burning of gasoline, and reduction of paraffin deposits in oil pipelines are achieved using the device and method of the present invention.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 56 words
A conditioner for magnetically treating liquids such as water, gasoline and oil within a conduit which comprises a permanent magnet having opposed faces, the poles of which magnet are located at these faces, and a casing of a non-magnetic material covering all of the magnet and leaving the south pole face of the magnet operatively exposed.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 56 words
A conditioner for magnetically treating liquids such as water, gasoline and oil within a conduit which comprises a permanent magnet having opposed faces, the poles of which magnet are located at these faces, and a casing of a non-magnetic material covering all of the magnet and leaving the south pole face of the magnet operatively exposed.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 14 words
A conditioner according to claim 1 wherein the magnet is a ceramic permanent magnet.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 44 words
A conditioner according to claim 1 or 2 further provided with strapping means for securing the conditioner to a non-magnetic conduit through which the liquid is to pass, whereby the liquid is subjected to the magnetic field proximate the south pole of the magnet.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 18 words
A conditioner according to claim 1 wherein the magnet has a strength of from 1,000 to 5,000 gauss.
Claim 6
Independent Claim 39 words
A method of magnetically treating a liquid which comprises passing the liquid through a non-magnetic conduit and subjecting the liquid in that conduit to the magnetic field proximate the south pole of a magnet held externally to the conduit.
Claim 7
Independent Claim 39 words
A method of magnetically treating a liquid which comprises passing the liquid through a non-magnetic conduit and subjecting the liquid in that conduit to the magnetic field proximate the south pole of a magnet held externally to the conduit.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 39 words
A method according to claim 5 for magnetically treating a liquid selected from the group consisting of water, gasoline and oil, which comprises subjecting the liquid in the conduit to a magnetic field of from 1,000 to 5,000 gauss.
