These three effects, particularly those ‘hich cause a buildup on a pipe wall also reduce thermal transfer characteristics of the pipe or otber uid conduit (uch as plates in a plate type Net exchanger, o¢ either the interior of exterior of tubes in a shell and tube type heat exchanges) which is particularly detrimental in heat ‘exchangers and other hydronic equipment il well pumps and the siel pipe or tubing which caries nade ol tthe surface are normally susceptible to scaling, corrosion, and algaes, because of the large amount of high-mineral-content water that normally accompanies the crude ol AS a result, the pumps and tubing become restricted and weakened so that they pump and carry less cl, leak, and even burst. Ao, many erude oll deposits are high in pareffin, causing heavy “paraffining” of the pumps and ‘well tubing, which restricts the pumps and tubing, eventi- ally stopping the flow of crude oil from the well lis known to use chemicals, usually acids and expensive biocides, o preven, dissolve of remove these material fom the pipes. However, these are not always elfective, the chemicals may be lowie or expensive and frequently these chemicals provide a long term operating expense as they must be continuously added to the fui Magnctic devices are known ta be usefil for preventing sealing, corrosion and algae growth in pipes. Magnetic evices have also been useful for improving the fuel con sumption of, and reducing the undesirable emissions of engines, ie, internal combustion, as well as jet propulsion Stich undesirable emissions include for example, HC, NOX, CO and alher undesirable byproducts of incomplete ‘combustion, as well as soot, etbon and varnish buildup in the same. Similar bencfits are also relized when magnetic devices are used w treat fuels being supplied to boilers, Turaces, and other such devices wherein hydrocarbon fuels are used Generally these magnetic devices comprise a plurality of magnets spaced axially along the pipes. Also known are magnotc devices which are integrated ito a pipe for otherwise are integrated into the structure of the device. Tice different arrangements of these magnets are generally known: In a first arrangement, longitudinal magnets, i.e. “bar” magnets are used, These magnets are positioned longitud s 2 nally along the dieection of flow with respect tothe pine oF ‘conduit. Such for example is shown in US. Pat. No, 44,210,535 to Risk, U.S, Pat, No. 4,367,143 to Carpenter, and US. Bat. No. 4,133,359 to Sanderson, Ina second arrangement, magnets are oriented with ‘opposite poles of ‘unlike’ poles directed with respect to the iterir of a pipe or conduit Such for example are illustrated in US. Pat. Nos. 5,227,683 and 5,269,016, both to Clit Which ilusiates a magnet wherein both north °N" and south “S” poles ate diteted towards the interior of tbe pipe of ‘conduit Ina tied arrangement, magnets are all oriented with same poles, “like” or common pols either all ‘noth or all ‘south’ Poles) directed with respect © interior the pipe or conduit. Such for example is showa ia US. Pat, No, 5,637,226 to ‘Adam, U.S. Pat, No. 5,161,512 0 Adam, US. Pal. No. 4,568,901 to Adam, US. Pat No. 4,146,479 to Brown, US. Pat. No. 4372853 to Kovacs as well as US. Pat. No. 4,605,498 fo Kulish, all of which illustrate the benefits of ‘such magnet arrangements for treating liquids, Further ‘examples include those shown in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3947.54 and 4,020,590, both to Davis, US. Pat. No. 5,122,277 to Jones, USS. Pat. No. 5,030,344 to Ambrose, ancl US. Pat No. 5,028,759 10 McGrath which deseribe benefits of using ‘same pole teatment in horticultural and metal treatment related processes. Paraday's law provides that an electrical current is gen= crated ina conductor when # conductor moves through magnetic fux lines of a magnetic Held, an, thatthe steength ‘ofthe eurtent is directly related to the angle of intersection ‘of the moving conductor with the magnetic ux lines, The ‘strength of the current is stcongest, when the angle of intersection of the moving conductor with Hux lines is perpendicular (90°), and, the strength of the current is ‘essentially zero when the moving conductor is parallel to tbe flux lines, ic, when thee is no angle of intersection of the moving conductor with fu Tines (0°). This effect is described in known texts, including Physics—A General Inuroduction (2 Fa), Alan Van Heuvelen, Hagper Collins— Publishers at Chapter 2, tiled “Induced EMP” In fluids Rowing through conduits (i. pipes and tubes) the fluid acts asa moving conductor, Iniodueing a magnetic flux into the flowing fu will generate electrical currents and ionize some of the molecules ofthe Nuid, as well a8 of| any dlissolved and suspended solids. In accordance with ‘araday's law, the more perpendicular these magnetic tux lines ar in respect tothe Howing Hid the more ellctve the imparted magnetic teatment to the uid willbe. The reverse is also true as the more oblique the magnetic fax lines are in respet tothe lowing lui, the less effective the imparted magnetic trealment to the Hud wil be. US. Pat. Nos. 3,947,544 and 4,020,590 to Abert Roy Davis were based on the discovery that North and South Pole magnetic fields have diferent and oppesiteellects on ‘onzine substances (Seeds) and inorganic substances (metal alloys). This principle was also explained in regard tothe different effects of North and South Pole magnetic felis on living organisms inthe book Magnetism ang It’s Efeet On ‘The Living System” by Albert Roy Davis and Walter C Rawls, first published in 1974. In this writing it is further ‘explained that North and South Pole magnetic Beles impart ‘opposite spins to electeons which can be easily seen by placing the different poles close to a black and white television screen. I ean be deduced from tis that there may he a different effect of North and South Poles on the molecular components of fluids and any dissolved or sus- pended materials which may be carried in fits. 6,056,872 3 US.
