Features of ME-5200-B (Large-Sized Unit)

A single ME-5200-B (large-sized unit) can simultaneously handle water treatment for three systems in absorption water cooling/heating equipment (1300kW): cooling water, cold water, and hot water.

Installation:

(1) Place the unit near the center of the equipment.

(2) Place the two electrodes about 50 cm above the equipment (non-contact installation), one at the right end and the other at the left end of the equipment.

(3) Connect the receiving cord to the water cooling/heating equipment or to the cooling water pipe flange at the equipment-side.

The electron waves from the two electrodes are radiated all over the metal surface (the electrically conductive equipment body, or cooling-water/cold-water/hot-water pipe), from which they propagated and absorbed in the water.An epoch-making feature of this spatial radiation type is "creation of a resonating electromagnetic field by high levels of vibrating electron waves as the target equipment is flanked by two electrodes."


Applications

The ME-5200-B can be used for all kinds of water treatment.However, the ME-5200-B vary for aerators (for activating aerobes) using activated sludge method and for settling tanks (for facilitating agglomeration) because of large differences in the quality of electron waveform between the applications.Irradiating the water surface in a large water tank is the most effective use of the ME-5200-B.

The number of ME-5200-B units installed depends on the current issues, improvement objectives, type of equipment, concentration level, and the quality of make-up water.The following summarizes typical numbers of units assuming that ME-Bio is used together.

Absorption water cooling/heating machine	One unit per 1300kW, or three units for 4000kW
Turbo refrigerator	One unit per 2200kW, or two units for 4500kW
Compressor	One unit per 1000 kW
Airtight cooling tower	One unit per 1500kW, or two units for 2700kW
Large water tank	One unit per 100 square meters of water surface

Electron-Wave Water Treatment Unit: ME-5050-B

		Standard configuration	(1)ME-5050-B (2)Output cord (3)Power cord	Main body 10m 2m	One One One
		Input voltage	100 Va-c +/-10%, single phase, 50/60Hz
		Input current	20mA
		Outside dimensions	154 (W) x 174 (D) x 110 (H) mm
		Weight	1.4 kg (main body only)
		Working temperature	-10 to +40 degrees C
		Working humidity	80% max. (non-condensing)

Features of ME-5050-B (Small-Sized Unit)

Installation:

Connect the output cord of the ME-5050-B unit to a metal part of the target pipe or equipment.Electron waves are propagated through the cord, connection, metal, to the water, in which they are absorbed.

Applications:

The ME-5050-B works to remove/prevent red water in city-water pipes.It is also suitable for small to medium-sized refrigerating machines.

Electron waves gradually attenuate as the metal part of the connection becomes ticker.Generally, the number of ME-5050-B units used for removing red water is one for up to 80A of city-water pipe diameter, two for 100A, three for 125A, and four for 150A.In feed water pipes where a red water problem is developing, water stains and red-brown fine rust particles solve out of the surface layer of red rust for a few days following 30 minutes after the unit installation, depending on the corrosion condition.

In this case, let the water running out of the faucet at the end of each vertical pipe system at a rate of about one liter per minute for a few days to get clean water earlier.This water running is not required if the unit is attached as a rust prevention means.The body of rust scale layer is reduced to black rust, becoming a hard protection layer (Photos (2) and (4)). If the rust layer is thick and soft, a long time is taken for the layer to turn black brown and black.Even red water is eliminated, the surface layer of rust scale may not turn further from pale black brown to black due to the iron content.

The vibrating electron waves traveling through an iron tube (metal) disappear 10 meters away, but in the standing water in the pipe, they continue to propagate hundreds of meters unless blocked by a valve.

Being not a high-frequency type, the small-sized unit does not provide the power of the large-sized unit.When using the unit for equipment, check the field conditions, improvement objectives, and the unit's performance.As a general guideline, the number of ME-5050-B units used for cooling water is one for a turbo refrigerator of 680kW provided that bio is used together.

Caution

The products of ME series are high-precision units.Store each unit in a dust- and water-proof box and install the box in a room exposed to no or little direct sunlight.
Refer to the instruction manual (ME-5200-B/ME-5050-B).
