NATURAL GAS HEATING
McReedy East Mine – Heating House
“Ventilation of a mine isone of the most important functions that allow miners to go to workeveryday.A one-year period of monitoring was done on the heater house [thatheatsmine ventilation air in the winter] without magnets, and the secondyearthe magnets were installed on the headers of the heater house.Thisinstallation was monitored and after two years the results werecompletedin May 2002. The savings in natural gas as a result of theinstallationof magnets was 11.95% in 2001-2002 when compared to 2000-2001.”

“This report compares theDegree-Day values for the building over the last two winters. Thiscomparisonshows a decrease of 9.73 cubic meters per degree-day. Percentage ofsaving- 7.5%.
Our treatment isonly onthe heating boilers. These boilers consume 58% of the building's totalcubic meters. Therefore 7.5% divided by 58% consumption factor gives anoverall 12.9% savings.”

BOILERS
Siemens, Boilers at our Istanbul Ð Kartal factory. 11-16-2007
We have assembled MAGNETIZER Fuel Saving Systems on our three Natural Gas Hot Water boilers – average savings were 18.6% verified by Chief Engineer.
Danbury, Connecticut Correctional Facility
Removed softener to boiler.Installed on condensate tank feed line. Eliminated chemicals. Able toreducecontinuous blow downs 60-75%. Scale eliminated which eliminatedpitting.Garden hose flush instead of punching out the tubes. Saving of $23-$26,000yrly.
Canada Post Office – North Tower.
Magnetic arrays were installedon 3 boilers used for heating this sorting facility. Since the boilerinstrumentationincluded individual stack temperature thermometers but not individualfuelflow meters, combustion efficiency was measured via increases in stacktemperatures. Over 22 boiler ‘runs’, stack temperature readings weretaken,and, comparing 11 runs without magnets to 11 runs with magnets a 9.8% increase in thermal efficiency was achieved.

IBM service contractor tested300 HP natural gas burners, with 3 inches galvanized fuel lines.Monitoringthrough the demonstration was done in the presence of GlobalEnviroTech,Inc. Valco Energy Systems, and the on site engineering staff at the IBMlocation
The average fuelconsumptionper degree-day with Magnetizer treatment was reduced by 17%. Theestimated average savings was $20,000. This particular installation hadone time cost of $6,354.
Scarsdale Manor, Scarsdale, New York 1997.
A.B. Wolle, Inc served twoBoilers installed in the Scarsdale Manor facility. The performance ofthetwo boilers was tested prior to the Magnetizer installation usingBacharachFyrite II Combustion Analyzer.
Perhaps the most dramaticoccurrence during the testing was noted by A.B. Wolle Inc. two monthsafterinstallation that when using “dirty oil” such as #4 or #6 oil theboilerefficiency increased instead of decreasing. Both boilers showed yearlyfuel savings of 17% and 19% respectively. The yearly savingswas$17,855 with cost of Magnetizer equipment of $3,716.
DIESEL
United States Air Force
The USAF Management &Equipment Evaluation Program tested two vehicles over six months, onegasoline-poweredand one diesel-powered. Because of the USAF’s fuel issuance methods,fuelconsumption had to be measured indirectly by measuring unburnedhydrocarbonsin the vehicles’ emissions. The results, at a test load of 2500 rpm,werea reduction in unburned hydrocarbons of 75% (diesel) and 70% (gasoline). Carbon Monoxide emissions were also substantially reduced.
Beijing Railroad
A 16-valve diesel-enginelocomotive that travels approximately 150,000 km a year was tested. For6 months, data was collected on fuel consumption and carbon build-upwithno magnets, and for another 6 months with magnets installed. Over theentiretest, an average savings in fuel of between 4.5% and 4.9% was achieved with a maximum saving of 9.1% for one of themonths.Simultaneously, hard carbon deposits changed to soft carbon resultinginsignificantly easier periodic maintenance.

HVAC & REFRIGERATION
Laboratory Testing: Research Center for Energy Conservation, University of Moncton, Canada
Dr. Samuel Sami, Director of the
Research Center,a Fellow of ASHRAE & ASME and a registered engineer in
New Brunswick,
Quebec and
Ontario has tested thisbrand-new application according to ARI/ ASHRAE standards, for Magnetizerceramic magnet arrays. Dr. Sami’s report reached the following conclusion;
“On the average it appears that higher Gauss levels[from Magnetizer products] enhanced the evaporator COP [Co-efficient ofPerformance] by
20-25% depending upon the refrigerant mixture boilingpoint. Also higher Gauss levels results in decreasing the power consumption.The decrease of the power consumption appears to be around
8-12%.”
Summary Of Laboratory Testing:
University of Moncton laboratories testing according to the ARI and ASHRAE standards showedsignificant enhancement of the Performance characteristics of refrigerationequipment after magnetic treatment;
• Enhancement thecooling capacity on the average by 25%.
• Improvement of the Coefficient of Performance COP on the average by 20%.
• Reduce equipmentpower consumption by around 8%.
• Carry less liquidrefrigerant into the compressor chamber.
• Enhancement ofthe heating capacity of equipment even at low evaporation temperatures
• Decreasedischarge pressure and Increase discharge temperature
Please note thatthe aforementioned significant characteristics are refrigerant boiling pointdependant.
The testing resultsand their analysis have been published in various prestigious scientificjournals such as the International Journal of Energy Research and ASME IMECE conferencesproceedings.
Early HVAC Field Tests:
Greek Hotel, Las Vegas
Testresults from 900 ton chiller installed in the Greek Hotel, Las Vegas indicateda gain in COP (Co-efficient of Performance) of 20-25%, resulting in anenergy reduction of 8-12% depending on environmental factors, degree-days, type of equipment and refrigerant mixture used, which confirm Dr. Sami’sscientific findings.

WATER TREATMENT
Hilton Towers Hotel, Manhattan
Magnetic arrays have beeninstalled on the Hilton's cooling towers and two 250-ton chillers forseveralyears. Scale has been reduced virtually to zero andwater-treatmentchemicals have been reduced to zero except for a small quantityof biocide needed to prevent algae growth. Maintenance of the watersystemshas been reduced substantially.

A commercial building at260 Madison Avenue, with 523,000 square feet of office space on 25floors,was equipped with magnetic arrays on its 2 cooling towers, 2 x 500 tonchillers and 2 x 125 hp water pumps. After 6 months, the followingresultswere observed - a 20% increase in temperature differential across thechillers,a 10-fold increase in scale removed, 95% reduction in treatmentchemicalsand 70% less cleaning time. This translated to savings of $23,332 inelectricalcosts, $9,500 in chemical costs, $3,000 in preventive maintenancecosts,and $2,400 in cleaning time, for a total annual saving of $38,232,compared with the previous year.

RESIDENTIAL WATER TREATMENT
Advanced Research Project Agency, Springfield, Virginia
A study prepared by Systemsand Services Company, Rockville, Maryland, concluded that aftermagnetictreatment with Magnetizer natural water does not, when heated, producea hard scale on the walls of a boiler or heating pipes, but rather aloosesludge which settles to the bottom and can easily be removed or flushedwithout acid treatment.
ASTB/CRIPPEN LABORATORIES, INC., New Castle, DE
The Magnetizer unit was attachedto a breaker containing calcium and magnesium in water solutions. Theauthoritiesat the ASTB laboratories concluded that the ion X-changer and filteraloneremove only around 90% of the calcium and magnesium. The Magnetizerunitseems to improve the removal efficiency to better than 99% of thecontainedcalcium and magnesium.

COMMERCIAL SWIMMING POOL TREATMENT
Ebbw Vale Leisure Center, U.K.
Magnetic arrays were fittedto the heating and filtration systems for the main indoor250,000-gallonpool, water slides, and the 11,760-gallon learner pool. By lowering thesurface tension of the water, the Magnetizer system enables filtrationsystems to become more efficient, lowering back-washing intervals by70%,heating costs by almost 70% and chemical use by 48%, while maintainingclinically safe water quality. Overall, the cost of maintaining thepoolfell from $25,036 to $10,005 per annum or 60%.
Aqua Science Consultants, Victoria, Australia.
Magnetizer system was installedto reduce the calcification rate of the spa heater tubebundle.The flow rate was 12 liters per minutes. It should be noted that aftereach run, the weight of the heater bundle was returned to approximately4431 grams and the weight differential was recorded. After each run,hardnesschemicals were dissolved in the water to ensure scaling in a relativelyshort time.
