연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

Devices and methods are provided for in-line water treatment using strong magnetic fields to influence corrosion, separate toxins, suppress bacteria and bio-fouling, as well as inhibit or greatly reduce mineral scaling due to fluid flow in or around equipment components. For example, a device is provided for applying a magnetic field to a portion of tubing through which a fluid flow, such as water, is conveyed. The device includes a number of links joined together via detachable pivoting connections, such that links may be removed and/or links may be added, thereby allowing a diameter of the device to be adjusted so as to accommodate larger or smaller piping, as necessary, for retrofitting applications. The use of magnetic treatment of fluids such as water may allow extended cycles of operation with higher concentration of mineral salts without the use of chemical scaling suppressants.

1. An apparatus for applying a magnetic field comprising a plurality of magnetic links, each link being pivotally joined to two adjacent links so as to form a circumferentially continuous adjustable link arrangement that is configured to be disposed about an outer surface of a portion of tubing through which a fluid flow is conveyed, wherein each link is configured to direct a magnetic field toward a region within the portion of tubing,wherein each link has a different magnetic orientation than each of the two respective adjacent links, such that the magnetic orientation of each link is rotated by 90° with respect to adjacent links,wherein the link arrangement is configured to be adjusted via addition or removal of at least one magnetic link, andwherein a combined magnetic field created within the region is configured to increase magnetic flux and flux variation to suppress bacteria and promote precipitation of particles currently within the fluid flow conveyed therethrough such that the particles are carried downstream of the region by the fluid flow. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein each link comprises a housing and at least one magnet supported within the housing. 3. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the at least one magnet comprises an array of magnets, and wherein each magnet of the array of magnets has a different magnetic orientation than at least one respective adjacent magnet within the array of magnets. 4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein a pivoting connection between at least two adjacent links is configured to be detachable. 5. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein at least one of the links is removable, and wherein a remainder of the links is configured to be re-joined upon removal of the removable link so as to form a smaller diameter circumferentially continuous link arrangement. 6. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein the links are configured to accommodate and be joined with at least one additional link upon detachment of the pivoting connection so as to form a larger diameter circumferentially continuous link arrangement. 7. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the apparatus comprises between 4 and 20 links. 8. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the apparatus is configured to be disposed about an outer surface of a portion of tubing in a cooling tower. 9. A magnetic link configured to be joined to adjacent links so as to form a circumferentially adjustable continuous link arrangement, wherein the link arrangement is configured to be disposed about an outer surface of a portion of tubing through which a fluid flow is conveyed, wherein the link comprises: a housing; andat least one magnet supported within the housing configured to direct a magnetic field toward a region within the portion of tubing,wherein the link is configured to be added to a link arrangement or removed from the link arrangement to adjust a size of the link arrangement, wherein each link in the link arrangement has a different magnetic orientation than each of the two respective adjacent links, such that the magnetic orientation of each link is rotated by 90° with respect to adjacent links, andwherein the magnetic field of the link is configured to combine with magnetic fields of other links of the link arrangement so as to create a combined magnetic field within the region that is configured to increase magnetic flux and flux variation to suppress bacteria and promote precipitation of particles currently within the fluid flow conveyed therethrough such that the particles are carried downstream of the region by the fluid flow. 10. The magnetic link of claim 9, further comprising at least one magnetic backiron supported within the housing and configured to limit a magnetic flux through an exterior surface of the link. 11. The magnetic link of claim 9, wherein the housing defines first and second hinge portions, wherein the first hinge portion of the link is configured to be joined to the second hinge portion of a first adjacent link, and the second hinge portion of the link is configured to be joined to the first hinge portion of a second adjacent link. 12. The magnetic link of claim 11 further comprising a pin member configured to join at least one of the first or second hinge portions to a corresponding second or first hinge portion of the respective first or second adjacent links together. 13. The magnetic link of claim 9, wherein the housing comprises a body portion and a cover. 14. The magnetic link of claim 9, wherein the housing is made of aluminum. 15. A method of applying a magnetic field to a region within a portion of tubing through which a fluid flow is conveyed comprising: supporting at least one magnet within a housing of a magnetic link;joining a plurality of links together;disposing the joined plurality of links about an outer surface of a portion of tubing through which a fluid flow is conveyed; andjoining end links of the joined plurality of links to each other so as to form a circumferentially continuous and adjustable link arrangement,wherein each link has a different magnetic orientation than each of the two respective adjacent links, such that the magnetic orientation of each link is rotated by 90° with respect to adjacent links,wherein each link is configured to direct a magnetic field toward a region within the portion of tubing and is further configured to be added to the link arrangement or removed from the link arrangement to adjust a size of the link arrangement, andwherein a combined magnetic field created within the region is configured to increase magnetic flux and flux variation to suppress bacteria and promote precipitation of particles currently within the fluid flow conveyed therethrough such that the particles are carried downstream of the region by the fluid flow. 16. The method of claim 15 further comprising detaching a pivoting connection between at least two adjacent links and adjusting a diameter of the circumferentially continuous link arrangement through removal or addition of at least one link.
