  • Method, system and signal generator for treating a device to resist formation and build-up of scale deposits
    Patent number: 12496627
    Abstract: A method of treating a device to resist formation and build-up of scale deposits at the device is provided. The device is located in a fluid-containing conduit. The method comprises feeding a radio frequency (RF) signal into a line connected to a device located in a fluid-containing conduit; and propagating the RF signal along the line to the device to resist formation and/or build-up of scale deposits at the device. A system for treating a device to resist formation and build-up of scale deposits at the device is also provided. A signal generator operable to generate an RF signal for treating a device to resist formation and build-up of scale deposits at the device is also provided. The signal generator is operable to feed the RF signal into a line connected to the device and to propagate the RF signal along the line to the device to resist formation and/or build-up of scale deposits at the device.
