SURVEY OF THE EFFICIENCY OF A DEVICE
DECLARED SUITABLE FOR REDUCING THE
ENCRUSTING CAPACITY OF WATERS
SUBJECTED TO THERMAL EXCHANGE.

1. Purpose and subject of the survey

The subject of this survey is a device
manufactured by the Applicant and called "ionic
accelerator GAMA" which is able to generate permanent magnetic fields. Such ionic accelerator, according to the Applicant technicians is suitable for the reduction of encrusting power of waters subjected to thermal exchange, without altering the original chemical-physical characteristics.
It has been requested that the ionic accelerator be submitted to certain examinations in order to
verify its function.

2.1 In the first test in static conditions,
glass balls were used, which were
previously weighed. In these balls a
certain pipeline water quantity, which
was previously treated with the ionic
accelerator, was brought to boiling
point, the boiling was maintained far
5 minutes, after that, the water was
changed and brought again to boiling
point. This cycle was repeated for
10 times.
For comparison another test, with
equal conditions but with pipeline water
not previously treated was carried out.

3. Result of the testings

3.1 Static conditions

At the completion of tests, which were carried out as specified at item 2.1, the glass containers were weighed
and protocolled.
The receiver containing water treated by the ionic accelerator showed a deposit of 18,7 mg. while the container of simple water (without ionic accelerator treatment) registered a deposit of 42,3 mg.

The picture no.1 shows the optical aspect of the two containers at the end of the testing and it should be noted
that in the receiver containing water ionic accelerator treated by means of the ionic accelerator (on the right in the picture) the deposit is limited to the ground part of the container and along the interphase water/air, whilst the one containing non treated water shows a residue deposited along all the contact surface to the water.

3.2 Dinamic Conditions

At the end of the test carried out as specified at pos. 2.2, the copper tubes were cut lengthwise and inspected.
Both tubes showed a deposit along the walls, but the aspect of such deposit was different in the two cases; the
deposit of the tube in which ionic accelerator treated water had flown was powdery and incoherent, whilst the deposit of the non-treated water was more compact and, once stressed, detached itself in flakes.

Therefore it was decided to carry out a thorough analysis in order to investigate the nature of the deposit.
To this purpose both deposits were submitted to crystallographic-analysis by means of the diffraction of the
X-rays (Debye-Scherrer powder method).
Both deposits showed the same crystallographic nature, which means that both deposits were formed almost
completely by Aragonite.

A further morphological investigation by means of the scanning e!ectronic microscope, showed on the other hand
that the two deposits were different, as shown in the pictures 2 and 3. More precisely the one coming out of the
non-treated circuit was formed by more regular and compact prismatic crystals (picture 2), whilst the one coming
from the circuit containing the ionic accelerator showed crystals which were less regular, more acicular and less compact (picture 3).
In practice the function of the ionic accelerator was to make the deposit less compact and therefore easier to be removed from the water flow.
