METHOD FOR PROCESSING OF FLUID MEDIUMS AND INDUCTION HEATER FOR ITS REALISATION Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC C02F1/48 A61L2/02 H05B6/10 

FIELD: technological processes; water treatment.

SUBSTANCE: invention may be used for thermal sterilisation of fluid mediums, and also for heating of return or fresh water in systems of water heating or hot water supply, for drying or thermal treatment of loose materials. Method for treatment of fluid mediums consists in supply of portion or flow of fluid medium into induction heater, and heating of this medium at the background of action of alternating-sign electromagnet field of induction winding of mentioned heater with simultaneous superposition of mechanical vibrations of heating element, at that frequency of mechanical vibrations of heating element corresponds to the frequency of induction winding electromagnet field vibrations. Induction heater is also suggested for treatment of fluid mediums that contains closed magnetic conductor, induction winding, which embraces selected rod of magnetic conductor and is equipped with facility for connection to the source of alternating current, and also tank, in the cavity of which short-circuited electroconductive heating element is installed with the possibility of mechanical vibration under action of alternating-sign electromagnet field of induction winding.

EFFECT: prevention of accumulation of deposits on heat transfer surfaces and provision of efficient sterilisation of water with preservation of high efficiency and low working temperatures.
