2.3 The Vulcan Impulse Bands
Vulcan operates with customized isolated copper impulse bands that
are designed to firmly connect to the pipe. They are extremely thin
and flexible with minimized isolation. This way, they achieve minimal
spacing loss and maximize the direct-contact-ratio to 97.5%. Their
special copper material with a high alloy purity degree guarantees the
best possible transfer output. The copper treatment bands are a crucial
factor to the performance of the water treatment.
The pipe diameter / treatment area ratio
The impulse bands cover the surface area that is vital for the treatment.
The surface of the pipe that is covered by the impulse band is the
"treatment area". This area needs to be large enough to ensure that
the impulses are transmitted through the pipe. As a general rule each
impulse band should cover a treatment area of at least the length of the
individual pipe diameter where Vulcan is to be installed:
Example
If you install a Vulcan 5000 on a 2" pipe, each impulse band
should cover a pipe length of min. 2".
Treatment with round cables vs. impulse bands
Comparison: The Vulcan Impulse Bands accumu-
late more direct contact compared to round cables
as there is less spacing. The direct contact ratio
reaches 97.5%.
