Abstract
Electromagnetic scaling is a kind of physics method of anti-scaling. An Anti-scaling instrument that generates electromagnetic fields to prevent scaling is designed in this study. The two important functions of the instrument are as follows: The output of a single frequency signal and its frequency and voltage can be changed manually; the output of a swept-frequency signal, from 0 to 21 kHz. The instrument is composed of a signal generator and coils in which electromagnetic fields are induced. The production of the signal mainly depends on the chip of CD4046B CMOS Micro power Phase-Locked Loop. According to the principle of electromagnetic induction, the signal from the signal generator flows though coils which induce changed magnetic fields, then the magnetic fields effect the microstructure of water, the aim of anti-scaling is achieved. The experiment shows that the equipment effectively reduces scaling.
