摘要:
In a method and apparatus for treating fluid flowing through piping so as to prevent the deposition of a calcium and magnesium scale on the piping, for example, positive and negative electrodes of electrically conductive materials having different electrochemical potentials are provided on the outer peripheral surface of an electrically insulative tubular member through which the fluid flows. Because the electrodes are disposed out of physical contact with the flowing fluid, the electrodes do not pose an obstacle to the fluid flow nor are the electrodes abraded or worn by particles that may be entrained in the fluid. Nonetheless, an electroconductive connection between the electrodes is established through the body of fluid by a capacitive effect so that the fluid is ionized.

Method for ionizing liquid, wherein, using the principle of a Voltaic cell, first and second electroconductive members formed of substances having different electrochemical potentials are kept apart from each other to be brought into contact with liquid to be ionized, such as water, utilizing said liquid as electrolyte, and these electroconductive members are electrically connected to cause electric energy to flow in the liquid, by which the liquid is ionized. An apparatus for putting this method into practice comprises keeping first and second electroconductive members formed of substances having different electrochemical potentials apart from each other to be brought into contact with liquid such as water and connecting electrically these electroconductive members.

The sheet-like battery is composed of a positive electrode formed of a sheet-like substance containing carbon fibers or fine carbon particles to a high density, a negative electrode formed of metal foil, such as aluminum orzinc, and an electrolyte interposed between the positive and negative electrodes. The sheet-like battery is formed into the shape of an insole. The insole is effective for the treatment of skin diseases such as dermatophytosis, and for deodorization.
摘要:
A method and apparatus produces an ionic change in fluid by causing the fluid to flow in specified sequence over electrodes having different electrochemical potentials. The last electrode which the fluid contacts is so selected as to provide the desired ionic change. The electrodes (1, 2) are provided in a tube of electrically insulative material (3) such as plastic. At least some of the electrically conductive material of one of the electrodes is disposed downstream of all of the electrically conductive material of the other of the electrodes, so that fluid flowing axially through the tube sequentially contacts the electrodes and is only acted on by the downstream electrode before flowing from the tube. By appropriately selecting the material of the downstream electrode, decoloration of fluid having metal oxides or a REDOX reaction can be carried out.

The present invention provides a method and apparatus for treating electrically conductive fluid. Positive and negative electrodes (1,2) of electrically conductive materials having different electrochemical potentials are spaced apart and electrically isolated from one another so that the only electroconductive connection that develops an electrochemical potential between the electrodes (1,2) is established by fluid to be treated extending between the electrodes. Fluid passing between the electrodes is therefore ionized. Because it has been found that superior effects can be achieved when the fluid is ionized under a voltage only condition, in which there is relatively little current flow through the fluid, an electrical insulator (3) is disposed between the positive and negative electrodes, extending across any shortest direct path therebetween. Thus, the electroconductive connection between the electrodes (1,2), that is established only by the body of fluid to be treated in the apparatus, is established through the fluid along a path that extends around the electrical insulator (3). Such a path, which is longer than any shortest direct path between the electrodes (1,2), defines a relatively long resistive path through the fluid between the electrodes. Accordingly, current flow is inhibited.
