PORTABLE APPARATUS FOR ELECTROCHEMICAL TREATMENT OF LIQUID Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: electrochemical cleaning and(or) treatment of water and(or) water solutions for preset changing of properties of treated liquid in different operational conditions, namely in stationary systems and in field. SUBSTANCE: portable apparatus for electrochemically treating liquid includes housing of dielectric material in which cylindrical inner anode and outer cylindrical cathode are mounted. Diaphragm is arranged between said electrodes for dividing interelectrode space by anode and cathode chambers. Diaphragm is cylindrical one; it is made of ceramics on base of alumina and zirconium and it is placed coaxially relative to electrodes. Anode, cathode and diaphragm are rigidly joined to electrode-diaphragm unit. Anode and cathode chambers of electrode-diaphragm unit are provided with means for charging and discharging treated liquid. The whole unit is rigidly mounted in housing. The last has openings in which quick-release hydraulic joints and electric connector are mounted fluid-tightly. Quick-release hydraulic joints such as nipple ones are connected at inner side of housing with means for charging and discharging anode and cathode chambers of electrode-diaphragm unit. At outer side of housing hydraulic joints are connected with flexible pipelines. Electric connector inside housing is connected with electric current supply leads and outside housing it is connected with power source. Outer and inner surfaces of cylindrical diaphragm, outer surface of anode and inner surface of cathode may be polished. EFFECT: enlarged functional possibilities, enhanced efficiency of apparatus, lowered energy consumption. 3 cl, 7 dwg, 3 tbl, 2 ex
