Water treatment device using electrical impulses of a variable current strength

Abstract

Abstract 1. An apparatus for the treatment of a liquid, such as mains water, of the type comprising : - a treatment chamber (120) through which the liquid passes and which is provided with a central electrode (150) and a peripheral electrode (140), - at least one capacitor (400), - a charging circuit (500) able to apply a charging voltage of predetermined positive or negative sign to the terminals of this capacitor, - a discharge circuit (600) able to discharge the capacitor between the central electrode and the peripheral electrode, in order to subject the mass of liquids located in the treatment chamber to a discharge of electrical energy in pulses, the charging circuit and the discharge circuit operating alternately and repetitively at a predetermined recurrence frequency, characterised in that it also comprises : - means (160, 200) for measuring the rate of flow of water passing through the treatment chamber, - means (300) able to govern the power of the discharge pulses provided by the discharge circuit by the measured value of the rate of flow.
