Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a liquid activation device. [Background technology]

[0002] It is known that liquids flow in aggregates. This aggregation impedes chemical reactions and the ability to penetrate and dissolve. By separating and breaking down these aggregates, chemical reactions become more rapid, and penetration and dissolution can be improved. Increased chemical reactions, for example, lead to better combustion, which improves the fuel efficiency of diesel fuel and reduces exhaust gas pollution. Improved fuel efficiency also means reduced exhaust gas emissions. Furthermore, increased penetration and dissolution means that, for example, if water is broken down into smaller particles, it can be more easily absorbed by plants and animals, including humans, providing moisture and contributing to their health and growth.

[0003] Conventionally, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses a system technology that can be easily added to an engine to achieve high-efficiency combustion and improve exhaust gas emissions without modifying the engine or system. The technology disclosed in Patent Document 1 is characterized by arranging multiple permanent magnets on the inner circumferential surface of a metal ring or band, with adjacent magnets that attract and repel each other, creating a balanced magnetic field.

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2021-173275 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a device that activates a liquid flowing in a pipe by effectively applying a magnetic force to the liquid without contacting the liquid. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] To achieve this object, the present invention provides a liquid activation device for activating a liquid flowing through a pipe, comprising: a pair of first magnets arranged on the upstream side of the pipe with their north and south poles facing each other across the pipe; a pair of second magnets arranged on the downstream side of the pipe with their north and south poles facing each other across the pipe; and a pair of aluminum members arranged along the pipe, having a length extending from further upstream of the first magnets to further downstream of the second magnets, and sandwiching the pipe between them, wherein, when viewed in the direction of travel of the liquid flowing through the pipe, the opposing directions of the first magnets and the second magnets are arranged perpendicular to each other, and the aluminum members are arranged between the first magnets arranged with their south poles facing the pipe and the second magnets arranged with their south poles facing the pipe, and between the first magnets arranged with their north poles facing the pipe and the second magnets arranged with their north poles facing the pipe.

[0007] When viewed in the direction of flow of the liquid flowing through the pipe, the first magnet, the second magnet, and the aluminum member may be arranged on concentric circles centered on the central axis of the pipe. The length of the aluminum member is longer than the center line of the first and second magnets. To make on-site installation easier, this device is available in two types: one that is split into two along the center line of the main body (casing) to sandwich the piping, and one that is one-piece and does not split, allowing the piping to be inserted. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] According to the present invention, it is possible to activate a liquid flowing inside a pipe by effectively applying a magnetic force to the liquid. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0010] A liquid activating device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the liquid activation device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is attached to a pipe 10 through which a liquid L, such as a fuel such as light oil or heavy oil A, or water, flows to the right in the figure, and activates the liquid L flowing within the pipe 10.

[0011] The liquid activation device 1 includes a cylindrical casing 11 that is fitted around the piping 10. In the illustrated example, the piping 10 is a circular pipe, and the casing 11 has a cylindrical shape that is fitted around the piping 10. The piping 10 is made of a non-magnetic material, such as a hard polyvinyl chloride pipe or a so-called hose that is permeable to magnetic fields. The casing 11 is made of high-density polyethylene or the like.

[0012] The casing 11 is provided with a pair of first magnets 15, 16 arranged with their south and north poles facing each other on the upstream side of the pipe 10 (on the left side of the pipe 10 in Figure 1), with the pipe 10 sandwiched between them, and a pair of second magnets 17, 18 arranged with their north and south poles facing each other on the downstream side of the pipe 10 (on the right side of the pipe 10 in Figure 1), with the pipe 10 sandwiched between them. The first magnets 15, 16 and the second magnets 17, 18 are both made of neodymium magnets.

[0013] These first magnets 15, 16 and second magnets 17, 18 are all inserted into holes 20 drilled radially from the outer circumferential surface of casing 11 toward the inside. All of the holes 20 are provided up to a position near the outer surface of piping 10. Furthermore, the holes 20 into which first magnets 15, 16 and second magnets 17, 18 have been inserted are blocked by plugs (not shown) inserted from the outer circumferential surface of casing 11 and made of the same material as casing 11 (such as high-density polyethylene).

[0014] First magnets 15 and 16 are both inserted into hole 20 with their south poles facing downward and their north poles facing upward. As a result, at the positions of first magnets 15 and 16 (the position of cross section AA in FIG. 1, FIG. 2), liquid L in pipe 10 passes through a magnetic field formed between the south pole of first magnet 15 above and the north pole of first magnet 16 below.

[0015] When viewed in the direction of travel of liquid L flowing through pipe 10 (as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3), second magnets 17 and 18 are inserted into hole 20 with their south poles facing left and their north poles facing right. As a result, at the position of second magnets 17 and 18 (the position of cross section BB in FIG. 1, FIG. 3), liquid L in pipe 10 passes through a magnetic field formed between the north pole of second magnet 17 on the left and the south pole of second magnet 18 on the right.

[0016] When viewed in the direction of travel of the liquid L flowing through the pipe 10 (as shown in Figures 2 and 3), the opposing directions (up and down) of the first magnets 15, 16 and the opposing directions (left and right) of the second magnets 17, 18 are arranged to intersect (orthogonal to) each other.

[0017] Inside the casing 11, there are also provided a pair of aluminum members 25 and 26 that sandwich the pipe 10 and are arranged along the pipe 10. The aluminum members 25 and 26 are made of, for example, aluminum round bars.

[0018] This pair of aluminum members 25, 26 is arranged across a position from the first magnets 15, 16 to the second magnets 17, 18. In the illustrated embodiment, the aluminum members 25, 26 are arranged to extend from further upstream of the first magnets 15, 16 to further downstream of the second magnets 17, 18. In other words, the aluminum members 25, 26 have a length that extends from further upstream of the first magnets 15, 16 to further downstream of the second magnets 17, 18.

[0019] Both aluminum members 25 and 26 are inserted into holes 27 drilled from the side of casing 11 (in the illustrated example, the right side of casing 11) toward the inside, parallel to piping 10. Furthermore, holes 27 into which aluminum members 25 and 26 have been inserted are blocked by plugs (not shown) made of the same material as casing 11 (such as high-density polyethylene) that are inserted from the side of casing 11 (in the illustrated example, the right side of casing 11).

[0020] When viewed in the direction of travel of the liquid L flowing through the pipe 10 (as shown in Figures 2 and 3), one aluminum member 25 is positioned between a first magnet 15 (first magnet 15 positioned on the upper side) positioned with its south pole facing the pipe 10 and a second magnet 18 (second magnet 18 positioned on the right side) positioned with its south pole facing the pipe 10, and the other aluminum member 26 is positioned between a first magnet 16 (first magnet 16 positioned on the lower side) positioned with its north pole facing the pipe 10 and a second magnet 17 (second magnet 17 positioned on the left side) positioned with its north pole facing the pipe 10.

[0021] Furthermore, when viewed in the direction of travel of liquid L flowing through pipe 10 (as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3), first magnets 15, 16, second magnets 17, 18, and aluminum members 25, 26 are all positioned at positions where concentric circles 30 pass, with their center at central axis O of pipe 10. Aluminum members 25, 26 are positioned so as to be located within the magnetic flux emitted like radiation between the north and south poles of first magnets 15, 16 and second magnets 17, 18, respectively.

[0022] The liquid activation device 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, configured as described above, effectively applies magnetic force to the liquid L flowing through the pipe 10, thereby activating the liquid L. The liquid L can be processed simply by passing it through the pipe 10 equipped with the liquid activation device 1; no additives or power are required. Separating and breaking down aggregates in the liquid L using magnetic force accelerates chemical reactions, further enhancing penetration and dissolving power. For example, if the liquid L is a fuel such as diesel or heavy oil A, the enhanced chemical reactions result in improved combustion, improving fuel efficiency for diesel fuel and reducing exhaust gas pollution. Improved fuel efficiency also translates into reduced exhaust gas emissions. Furthermore, if the liquid L is water, breaking down the water improves its absorption by plants and animals, including humans, providing moisture and contributing to their health and growth.

[0023] While one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiment. It is clear that a person skilled in the art can conceive of various modifications and alterations within the scope of the ideas described in the claims, and it is understood that these also naturally fall within the technical scope of the present invention.

[0024] Furthermore, the effects described herein are merely descriptive or exemplary and are not limiting. In other words, the technology according to the present disclosure may achieve other effects that are apparent to those skilled in the art from the description of this specification, in addition to or in place of the above-described effects.

[0025] Although FIGS. 1 to 3 show an integrated casing 11, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the casing 11 may be divided into two casing sections 11a and 11b so that they can be attached to both sides of the piping 10. When the casing 11 is divided into two casing sections 11a and 11b, the casing sections 11a and 11b can be attached to both sides of the piping 10 and assembled using cable ties 35 or the like. By dividing the casing 11 into two casing sections 11a and 11b in this way, the liquid activation device 1 can be attached to any location on the piping 10. To prevent the cable ties 35 from slipping, grooves 36 may be formed on the outer peripheral surface of the casing 11 (casing sections 11a and 11b). The casing 11 may have a rectangular outer shape, but a cylindrical shape can be machined in a single setup using an automatic lathe or the like, which has low machining costs, making it inexpensive.

[0026] The liquid activation device 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention may be used singly or in multiple units connected in series along a pipe 10. FIG. 7 shows an example of a liquid activation device 100 installed in a pipe 10 that circulates fuel (liquid L) in a tank 40 and a pipe 10 that supplies fuel (liquid L) from the tank 40 to a transport vehicle 41. The processing capacity of this device is 40 liters per minute. For example, when processing 200 liters of fuel oil in a drum, it is desirable to circulate the fuel (liquid L) in the tank 40 five times through the liquid activation device. 200 liters x 5 circulations = 1,000 liters. Therefore, dividing by 40 liters per minute gives a processing time of 25 minutes for one drum. The device can then be used to transport the fuel to a transport vehicle 41. The device 100 has a built-in pump for oil transfer, which requires a power supply.

[0027] In the liquid activation device 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the distance between the magnetic poles is not desired to attenuate the magnetic force due to separation, so the maximum applicable range for the pipe 10 is, for example, φ19 inner diameter and φ26 outer diameter (3 / 4 inch). In this case, if the bottom thickness of the magnet insertion hole is 3 mm, the inner diameter of the casing is 26 + 3 + 3, and the distance between the north and south poles of the first magnets 15, 16 and the second magnets 17, 18 is a maximum of 32 mm. The neodymium magnets used for the first magnets 15, 16 and the second magnets 17, 18 are cylindrical (φ7 x 8) and therefore have north and south poles on both end faces (nominal: surface 5300 gauss / 530 mT). Two pairs of these magnets are installed with their centerlines perpendicular to each other, and are positioned so that the liquid L flowing through the pipe 10 passes through the magnetic field as evenly as possible, further promoting the spin phenomenon of molecules with positive and negative electrons. The aluminum rods used for the aluminum components 25 and 26 are, for example, JIS A5056 φ8 x 53 mm. They are positioned longer parallel to the centerline than the first magnets 15 and 16 and the second magnets 17 and 18. Based on Faraday's law and Fleming's right-hand rule, they capture the energy generated by the magnetic field and the movement of the liquid, resulting in a synergistic effect. Aluminum rods are used because of their excellent electrical conductivity, weather resistance, availability, and paramagnetic properties, with a relative permeability of 1.000021 (at 20°C) according to literature. Furthermore, the casing 11 is made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), which has excellent mechanical properties, machinability, and low water absorption. The hole for the aluminum rod, which is inserted parallel to the centerline of the cylinder (casing 11), has a PCD of 40 mm and is designed to be longer laterally than the magnet holes 20. This is to ensure that Faraday's law and Fleming's right-hand rule are applied evenly to the entire range of the magnetic field of neodymium magnets. [Example]

[0028] 7 is an explanatory diagram of an example of using the device in which fuel (liquid) in a tank is activated by a device incorporating the device 1 and then supplied to a vehicle by the device 100. In this case, a power supply is required to operate the pump. Figure 8 shows the results of measuring the aggregate size of water using nuclear magnetic resonance analysis by 1H-NMR. It is a verification of the results when ordinary tap water is treated with one of our devices, and when two devices are arranged in series. Figure 9 is a graph showing the fuel economy improvement rate (%) for diesel and heavy oil A treated with this device (a combination of neodymium magnets (Nd) and aluminum round bars). The comparison was made with the fuel economy of the same vehicle using conventional untreated oil. Figure 10 shows a graph of the fuel efficiency of diesel fuel treated only with neodymium magnets (Nd). This device is combined with an aluminum round bar, and a comparison was made with oil treated only with neodymium magnets to confirm the superiority of this device. Figure 11 is a graph showing the change in viscosity of untreated and treated water and diesel. The top part of the graph is water, and the bottom part is diesel, with the left side showing the untreated value and the right side showing the treated value. It can be seen that the viscosity, which had been unstable, has converged. This indicates that the size of the aggregates has been subdivided and averaged. Figure 12 shows the results of exhaust gas analysis for diesel oil treated only with neodymium magnets and for no treatment. Figure 13 shows millitesla measurements at the distances (25 mm and 55 mm) from the end face to the magnetic pole. Figure 14 shows images of the magnetic flux distribution visualized using iron sand with and without the aluminum round bar. [Industrial Applicability]
