Description

Domaine de l'inventionField of the invention

La présente invention est relative au domaine du bâtiment, notamment celui du bâtiment ancien ou à rénover, et concerne plus particulièrement un dispositif et un procédé pour traiter l'humidité, plus particulièrement en stoppant les remontées capillaires.The present invention relates to the field of the building, particularly that of the old building or to renovate, and more particularly relates to a device and a method for treating moisture, more particularly by stopping the capillary rise.

Etat de la techniqueState of the art

La présence de l'humidité dans les murs des bâtiments résidentiels ou tertiaires peut avoir des causes multiples. Cette humidité peut provenir de l'intérieur ou de l'extérieur de l'habitation. Lorsqu'elle vient de l'extérieur d'un bâtiment, elle peut être due à des infiltrations d'eau de pluie ou à des remontées d'eau du sol. Dans ce dernier cas, il s'agit de murs de fondation d'une maison qui ne possède pas d'arase étanche de coupure capillaire et qui sont souvent soumis à la géologie du sol ou qui sont bâtis sur un terrain humide ou à proximité d'une nappe phréatique. L'humidité pénètre alors dans les murs de fondation, puis dans ceux du bâtiment par effet de capillarité.The presence of moisture in the walls of residential or tertiary buildings can have multiple causes. This moisture can come from inside or outside the home. When coming from outside a building, it may be due to rainwater infiltration or upwelling. In the latter case, these are the foundation walls of a house that does not have a watertight arid of capillary cut and that are often subject to soil geology or that are built on wet ground or near a water table. The moisture then penetrates into the foundation walls, then into those of the building by capillary effect.

Les conséquences de cette humidité présente dans les murs sont multiples: des fissures et dégradations du plâtre ou des enduits, voire un décollement des carrelages ; le dépôt de sels minéraux ou efflorescences ; l'apparition du salpêtre ; l'apparition des taches de moisissure dues au développement des champignons, pouvant provoquer des irritations ou des maladies respiratoires de ses habitants, ainsi que des mauvaises odeurs. Par ailleurs, l'humidité produit une sensation de froid obligeant ses habitants à chauffer encore plus la maison, ce qui conduit à obtenir encore plus d'évaporation alimentant ainsi le cycle de remontées capillaires dans les murs, ce qui entretient l'humidité.The consequences of this moisture present in the walls are multiple: cracks and degradations of the plaster or coatings, even a detachment of the tiles; the deposit of mineral salts or efflorescence; the appearance of saltpetre; the appearance of mold stains due to the development of fungi, which can cause irritations or respiratory diseases of its inhabitants, as well as unpleasant odors. In addition, the humidity produces a sensation of cold requiring its inhabitants to heat even more the house, which leads to even more evaporation fueling the cycle of capillary rise in the walls, which maintains the humidity.

Par ailleurs, il a été établi par le passé que les champs électriques et magnétiques alternatifs augmentent l'humidité ascensionnelle dans les murs. Plusieurs solutions ont été envisagées pour pallier à ces problèmes.In addition, it has been established in the past that alternative electric and magnetic fields increase the rising humidity in walls. Several solutions have been envisaged to overcome these problems.

Une solution très répandue est l'injection de résine ou de gel à base de composés chimiques actifs dans des orifices préalablement pratiqués dans les murs humides. Cette méthode s'avère laborieuse et destructive, tout en utilisant des produits néfastes pour l'environnement.A widespread solution is the injection of resin or gel based on active chemical compounds in orifices previously made in the wet walls. This method is laborious and destructive, while using products that are harmful to the environment.

On connaît par ailleurs une autre solution utilisée pour stopper les remontées capillaires, à savoir la mise en oeuvre de procédés d'électrophorèse ou d'électro-osmose. La mise en oeuvre d'un procédé d'électrophorèse implique l'utilisation d'électrodes implantées dans le mur et dans le sol, les électrodes étant reliés dans un circuit qui permet d'inverser la polarité naturelle mur-sol. Conjointement à la mise en place des électrodes, on peut également faire un apport de produits spécifiques de phorèse qui, sous l'effet du champ électrique créé, sont entraînés dans les capillaires du mur et doivent provoquer, en théorie, leur obturation. Le document FR 2 669 063 décrit un dispositif fonctionnant sur ce principe, mais trouve ses limites dès lors que des orifices doivent être réalisés dans les murs pour insérer les électrodes. De plus, ce dispositif nécessite une source d'alimentation électrique et son fonctionnement entraîne une usure des électrodes, ce qui implique un entretien périodique du dispositif.Another known solution used to stop the capillary rise, namely the implementation of electrophoresis or electro-osmosis methods. The implementation of an electrophoresis method involves the use of electrodes implanted in the wall and in the ground, the electrodes being connected in a circuit which makes it possible to invert the natural wall-ground polarity. In conjunction with the placement of the electrodes, it is also possible to make a contribution of specific products of phoresis which, under the effect of the electric field created, are entrained in the capillaries of the wall and must cause, in theory, their closure. The document FR 2,669,063 describes a device operating on this principle, but finds its limits when holes must be made in the walls to insert the electrodes. In addition, this device requires a power source and its operation causes wear of the electrodes, which involves periodic maintenance of the device.

Le document EP 1 774 113 décrit, lui, un dispositif électronique pour stopper les remontées d'eau par capillarité dans les murs comportant des résonateurs actifs constitués par des circuits oscillants LC parallèles qui émettent un signal modulé de fréquence prédéterminée. Par rapport au dispositif du document précédent, ce dispositif présente, certes, l'avantage de traiter le mur à distance, mais, comme le précédent, il fait appel à des composants électroniques qui nécessitent une alimentation continue en électricité.The document EP 1 774 113 it describes an electronic device for stopping capillary upwellings in the walls comprising active resonators consisting of parallel LC oscillating circuits which emit a modulated signal of predetermined frequency. Compared to the device of the previous document, this device has the advantage of treating the wall remotely, but, like the previous one, it uses electronic components that require a continuous supply of electricity.

On connaît par ailleurs le document EP 0 354 150 qui décrit un dispositif électromagnétique utilisé pour stopper les remontées capillaires dans les murs d'une habitation. Le dispositif décrit est du type passif, il ne nécessite pas d'alimentation électrique de ses circuits pour fonctionner. Le dispositif comprend quatre circuits oscillants parallèles associés à deux dipôles rayonnants qui créent un contre-champ déphasé électriquement par rapport au champ électromagnétique initial qui génère les remontées capillaires. Fonctionnant certes sans alimentation électrique, ce dispositif fait toutefois appel à des enroulements complexes ainsi qu'à des composants électroniques tels des condensateurs pouvant entraîner une panne de fonctionnement.The document is also known EP 0 354 150 which describes an electromagnetic device used to stop the capillary rise in the walls of a dwelling. The device described is passive type, it does not require power to its circuits to operate. The device comprises four parallel oscillating circuits associated with two radiating dipoles which create a counter-field electrically out of phase with the initial electromagnetic field that generates the capillary rise. While operating without power supply, this device uses complex windings as well as electronic components such as capacitors that can cause a malfunction.

Objet de l'inventionObject of the invention

Le but de l'invention est de remédier aux inconvénients précités et de proposer un dispositif électromagnétique de traitement de l'humidité d'une habitation apte à stopper l'arrivée de l'humidité dans les murs, de manière efficace et durable dans le temps, tout en étant d'une installation facilitée et d'une utilisation fiable dans le temps.The object of the invention is to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks and to propose an electromagnetic device for treating the humidity of a dwelling capable of stopping the arrival of moisture in the walls, in an efficient and durable manner over time while being easy to install and reliable in use over time.

Un autre but de l'invention est de proposer un dispositif électromagnétique de traitement de l'humidité d'une habitation de fiabilité optimisée qui puisse fonctionner au contact ou à distance du mur à traiter, tout en étant de construction compacte et sans nécessiter d'alimentation électrique.Another object of the invention is to propose an electromagnetic humidity treatment device of a house of optimized reliability that can operate in contact with or away from the wall to be treated, while being of compact construction and without the need for power supply.

Un autre but de l'invention est de proposer un appareil de traitement de l'humidité intégrant un dispositif électromagnétique de traitement de l'humidité apte à assurer un traitement efficace et durable des problèmes d'humidité ascensionnelle d'un mur et de leurs conséquences, tout en étant de construction conçue pour une utilisation localisée et discrète.Another object of the invention is to provide a moisture treatment device incorporating an electromagnetic device for treating moisture capable of ensuring an effective and lasting treatment of the problems of rising damp of a wall and their consequences. , while being of construction designed for localized and discreet use.

Ces buts sont atteints avec un dispositif électromagnétique du type résonateur passif pour le traitement de l'humidité ascensionnelle dans les murs d'un bâtiment, ledit dispositif électromagnétique pouvant fonctionner en étant en contact avec le mur à traiter ou à distance du mur à traiter, comportant au moins une platine pouvant être agencée dans un boîtier réalisé en un matériau perméable aux champs électromagnétiques, ladite platine comportant un ensemble de circuits électriques, du fait que ledit ensemble comprend au moins trois circuits électriques coplanaires réalisés chacun en un conducteur électrique filaire, chaque conducteur étant enroulé pour former une boucle continue plane, ayant une forme générale d'anneau ouvert par une fente à l'une de ses extrémités, et que les boucles sont agencées dans un même plan, de manière concentrique l'une par rapport à l'autre, les fentes de deux boucles adjacentes étant diamétralement opposées, et en ce que les circuits sont noyés dans un milieu électriquement isolant.These aims are achieved with a passive resonator type electromagnetic device for the treatment of rising humidity in the walls of a building, said electromagnetic device being able to operate while being in contact with the wall to be treated or at a distance from the wall to be treated, comprising at least one plate that can be arranged in a housing made of a material permeable to electromagnetic fields, said plate comprising a set of electrical circuits, because said assembly comprises at least three coplanar electrical circuits each made of a wired electrical conductor, each conductor being wound to form a continuous flat loop, having a shape general ring opened by a slot at one of its ends, and that the loops are arranged in the same plane, concentrically with respect to each other, the slots of two adjacent loops being diametrically opposite, and in that the circuits are embedded in an electrically insulating medium.

Il a été établi par le passé que les champs électriques et magnétiques alternatifs augmentent l'humidité ascensionnelle dans les murs. En effet, les ondes électromagnétiques terrestres en provenance des passages d'eau souterraine par frottement contre les tissus géologiques (roches, terrains, argileux, sableux ou calcaire) créent des courants électriques qui chargent en électrons les molécules d'eau. Ce champ électromagnétique variable entraîne une différence de potentiel provoquant une force électromotrice entraînant une poussée osmotique de bas en haut qui conduit le passage des particules d'eau chargées électriquement au pied des murs des bâtiments. L'eau migre alors dans les capillaires de la couche géologique, puis dans les fondations et ensuite dans les murs pour atteindre un équilibre électrique et stagner. L'eau souterraine entraîne dans sa migration les sels les sels minéraux contenus dans le sol. Le mur se comporte alors comme un pile électrique, la présence d'une différence de potentiel, le sels minéraux, les capillaires remplis d'eau et la présence du champs électromagnétique terrestre font que le mur se charge en électricité. Ainsi, la tension mesurée entre la base humide d'un mur et la partie haute sèche est comprise entre 30 et 500 mV.It has been established in the past that alternative electric and magnetic fields increase the rising damp in walls. In fact, terrestrial electromagnetic waves coming from the groundwater passages by friction against the geological tissues (rocks, soils, clay, sand or limestone) create electric currents that charge electrons water molecules. This variable electromagnetic field causes a potential difference causing an electromotive force causing upward osmotic pushing which leads the passage of electrically charged water particles at the foot of building walls. The water then migrates into the capillaries of the geological layer, then into the foundations and then into the walls to reach an electrical balance and stagnate. The groundwater causes in its migration the salts the mineral salts contained in the soil. The wall behaves like an electric battery, the presence of a potential difference, the mineral salts, the capillaries filled with water and the presence of the earth's electromagnetic field make the wall is charged with electricity. Thus, the voltage measured between the wet base of a wall and the dry upper part is between 30 and 500 mV.

On sait également que, de par leur constante diélectrique élevée et leur comportement de dipôle permanent, les molécules d'eau sont sensibles aux phénomènes telluriques dont l'énergie exerce la poussée capillaire. A cette poussée capillaire s'ajoutent les effets du potentiel Zeta produit par le frottement des molécules d'eau dans les capillaires ce qui accentue l'effet de poussée capillaire.It is also known that, due to their high dielectric constant and their permanent dipole behavior, the water molecules are sensitive to telluric phenomena whose energy exerts the capillary thrust. To this capillary thrust are added the effects of the Zeta potential produced by the friction of the water molecules in the capillaries which accentuates the capillary thrust effect.

Ainsi, le dispositif électromagnétique de l'invention comprend un ensemble de circuits électriques dont le principe de fonctionnement utilise le principe de la loi de Lenz, en étant basé notamment sur le fait que le courant induit dans un circuit s'oppose à la cause qui l'a généré. Chaque circuit de l'invention est réalisé à base d'un conducteur électrique filaire enroulé pour former un anneau ouvert, au moins trois anneaux concentriques à ouvertures opposées étant prévus à l'intérieur d'un milieu électriquement isolant.Thus, the electromagnetic device of the invention comprises a set of electrical circuits whose principle of operation uses the principle of the law of Lenz, being based in particular on the fact that the induced current in a circuit opposes the cause that generated it. Each circuit of the invention is made based on a wired electrical conductor wound to form an open ring, at least three concentric rings with opposite openings being provided inside an electrically insulating medium.

Par conducteur électrique filaire on comprend un composant électrotechnique servant au transport de l'électricité qui est constitué d'un matériau conducteur monobrin ou multibrins, pouvant être entouré d'une couche d'isolant ou pas. Le conducteur électrique filaire peut être réalisé à base d'un fil cylindrique monobrin ou multibrins, à base d'une barre ayant différentes formes de sa section transversale, ou à base d'une piste métallique sur un support isolant.Wired electrical conductor comprises an electrotechnical component for the transport of electricity which is made of a single-stranded or stranded conductive material, which may be surrounded by an insulating layer or not. The wired electrical conductor can be made based on a single-strand or stranded cylindrical wire, based on a bar having different shapes of its cross section, or based on a metal track on an insulating support.

Les circuits sont noyés dans un milieu électriquement isolant et forment une platine. Les circuits sont ainsi isolés entre eux par un milieu qui ne conduit pas le courant électrique, en étant par exemple réalisé en l'un des matériaux suivants pris seuls ou en combinaison : une résine époxy, une colle, du plâtre, du ciment, du sable, du mastic ou de l'air.The circuits are embedded in an electrically insulating medium and form a plate. The circuits are thus isolated from each other by a medium which does not conduct electrical current, for example being made of one of the following materials alone or in combination: an epoxy resin, an adhesive, plaster, cement, sand, putty or air.

La platine est ensuite agencée à l'intérieur d'un boîtier présentant un espace vide prévu autour de la platine pour assurer la réception des ondes telluriques, le boîtier pouvant par ailleurs être prévu de moyens de fixation au mur du bâtiment à traiter. Dans une variante, la platine de l'invention peut être placée directement à l'intérieur d'une niche réalisée dans le mur à traiter, sans utiliser de boîtier, mais à condition que la niche dispose d'un espace vide entourant la platine. Pour assurer une bonne réception des ondes telluriques, cet espace vide doit avoir un volume équivalent ou supérieur au volume de la platine.The plate is then arranged inside a housing having an empty space provided around the plate to ensure the reception of telluric waves, the housing can also be provided with fixing means to the wall of the building to be treated. Alternatively, the plate of the invention can be placed directly inside a niche made in the wall to be treated, without using a housing, but provided that the niche has a space around the plate. To ensure good reception of telluric waves, this empty space must have a volume equivalent to or greater than the volume of the plate.

Ainsi, les circuits électriques du dispositif de l'invention ont été conçus de manière à créer un champ électromagnétique qui interfère localement avec le champ électromagnétique terrestre et l'annule. Les circuits du dispositif électromagnétique de l'invention reçoivent le champ électromagnétique terrestre perturbé, notamment un signal d'une fréquence donnée, et déphasent ce signal de 180° (ou d'une demi-alternance du champs alternatif perturbateur). De ce fait, lesdits circuits mettent en opposition de phase le champ reçu afin d'annuler son action, et ceci sur toute la zone d'activité du dispositif. Ce dispositif a pour effet une mise à zéro de la différence de potentiel qui est à l'origine de la force électromotrice qui pousse l'eau dans les capillaires. Ainsi, il a été constaté de manière surprenante que, même dans les bâtiments très anciens où l'humidité s'était installée depuis des années, l'eau stockée dans les capillaires des murs arrivait à redescendre et à s'évaporer rapidement. En utilisant le dispositif de l'invention les murs deviennent complément secs (notamment dans une période de 6 à 18 mois, en moyenne, selon l'épaisseur des murs et la hauteur des murs enterrés), et le mur se trouve ensuite protégé de toute remontée capillaire pendant toute la durée de fonctionnement du dispositif.Thus, the electrical circuits of the device of the invention have been designed to create an electromagnetic field that locally interferes with the earth's electromagnetic field and cancels it. The circuits of the electromagnetic device of the invention receive the disturbed terrestrial electromagnetic field, in particular a signal of a given frequency, and phase out this signal 180 ° (or half-wave alternating disturbing alternating field). As a result, said circuits phase the received field in order to cancel its action, and this over the entire area of activity of the device. This device has the effect of zeroing the potential difference which is at the origin of the electromotive force that pushes the water in the capillaries. Thus, it was surprisingly found that even in the very old buildings where the humidity had been installed for years, the water stored in the capillaries of the walls managed to come back down and evaporate quickly. By using the device of the invention the walls become dry complement (in particular in a period of 6 to 18 months, on average, depending on the thickness of the walls and the height of the buried walls), and the wall is then protected from any capillary rise during the entire operating life of the device.

Le dispositif de l'invention est donc du type résonateur passif, fonctionnant par interférence ou déphasage de 180° par rapport à l'onde captée, qui capte et neutralise les ondes dans une plage de fréquences comprise entre 8 kHz et 1 GHz.The device of the invention is therefore of the passive resonator type, operating by interference or phase shift of 180 ° with respect to the sensed wave, which captures and neutralizes the waves in a frequency range between 8 kHz and 1 GHz.

Ainsi, le dispositif électromagnétique de l'invention permet un assèchement naturel des murs humides, pouvant fonctionner en étant fixé au mur à traiter ou agencé à l'intérieur du mur, voire à distance de celui-ci, de manière efficace et fiable dans le temps, tout en étant exempt de tout composant électronique, et étant de consommation économique car il n'a pas besoin d'alimentation en électricité, ni d'opération d'entretien ou de maintenance.Thus, the electromagnetic device of the invention allows a natural drying of the wet walls, which can operate by being fixed to the wall to be treated or arranged inside the wall, or even at a distance from it, in an efficient and reliable manner in the time, while being free of any electronic component, and being of economical consumption because it does not need power supply, nor operation of maintenance or maintenance.

De préférence, les matériaux des conducteurs électriques filaires de deux boucles adjacentes sont différents. Lesdits conducteurs sont des composants métalliques monobrin ou multibrins pouvant être, dans une variante, des fils tressés, ayant un diamètre ou épaisseur du brin compris entre 0,1 mm et 8 mm. Après de nombreux tests effectués, il a été constaté que l'utilisation de matériaux différents dans deux boucles adjacentes augmentait la gamme de fréquence des ondes captées.Preferably, the materials of the wired electrical conductors of two adjacent loops are different. Said conductors are single-stranded or stranded metal components that may be, in a variant, braided wires having a diameter or thickness of the strand of between 0.1 mm and 8 mm. After extensive testing, it was found that the use of different materials in two adjacent loops increased the frequency range of the sensed waves.

Dans une première variante de réalisation de l'invention, ladite platine comprend quatorze boucles réalisées en au moins deux matériaux différents. Lors des tests effectués, il a été constaté qu'une telle platine permettait un traitement des remontées capillaires d'une pièce ou ensemble de pièces dans un rayon d'environ 10 m à 30 m à partir de l'emplacement du dispositif de l'invention.In a first embodiment of the invention, said platinum comprises fourteen loops made of at least two different materials. During the tests carried out, it was found that such a plate allowed a treatment of the capillary rise of a part or set of parts in a radius of about 10 m to 30 m from the location of the device of the invention.

Dans une variante préférée de réalisation de l'invention, ladite platine comprend neuf boucles ouvertes par neuf fentes, chaque boucle étant réalisée sous forme d'un anneau double qui est fermé d'un côté de ladite fente et ouvert de l'autre côté de cette dernière. De préférence, la première boucle centrale est réalisée en platine, la deuxième boucle est réalisée en argent et les boucles périphériques qui suivent par ordre croissant de leur diamètre sont réalisés alternativement en or et en argent.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, said plate comprises nine loops opened by nine slots, each loop being made in the form of a double ring which is closed on one side of said slot and open on the other side of the slot. the latter. Preferably, the first central loop is made of platinum, the second loop is made of silver and the peripheral loops which follow in increasing order of their diameter are alternately made of gold and silver.

En effet, les circuits du dispositif lorsqu'ils sont placés dans le champ électromagnétique variable perturbateur, sont parcourus par un courant électrique induit, s'opposant à la cause qui l'a généré, courant qui est d'autant plus intense que lesdits circuits conduisent bien l'électricité et que la fréquence et l'intensité du champ d'origine sont élevées. Ainsi, le dispositif de l'invention utilise les caractéristiques intrinsèques conductrices et semi-conductrices des matériaux nobles qui, de par leur épaisseur et leur mise en forme arrivent à capter et à annuler le champ électromagnétique perturbateur.Indeed, the circuits of the device when they are placed in the disturbing electromagnetic variable field, are traversed by an induced electric current, opposing the cause that generated it, current which is all the more intense as said circuits conduct electricity well and that the frequency and intensity of the field of origin are high. Thus, the device of the invention uses the intrinsic conductive and semiconducting characteristics of the noble materials which, by their thickness and their shaping manage to capture and cancel the electromagnetic disturbing field.

Pour une meilleure efficacité en fonctionnement, le dispositif est installé en l'orientant avec la première fente en direction du pole nord.For a better efficiency in operation, the device is installed by orienting it with the first slot towards the north pole.

Lors des nombreux tests effectués en laboratoire, il a été établi par l'inventeur que le meilleur emplacement du module est sur une zone où le champ électromagnétique perturbé présente une intensité élevée. La détection de ces perturbations se fait à l'aide d'un appareil de mesure de l'intensité du champs électromagnétique terrestre connu sous le nom de géornagnétomètre. L'installation optimale de l'appareil pour obtenir le maximum d'effet d'annulation du champ perturbateur a été alors obtenue en l'orientant avec la fente de sa première boucle en direction nord.In numerous laboratory tests, it has been established by the inventor that the best location of the module is in an area where the disturbed electromagnetic field has a high intensity. The detection of these disturbances is done using a device of measurement of the intensity of the electromagnetic field terrestrial known under the name of geornagnétomètre. The optimal installation of the apparatus to obtain the maximum effect of cancellation of the disturbing field was then obtained by orienting it with the slot of its first loop in the north direction.

La platine du dispositif de l'invention est agencée horizontalement ou verticalement. Les tests effectués avec la platine du dispositif de l'invention ont permis de mettre en évidence son action sur une zone d'environ 40 m de diamètre, avec une tolérance de +/-15%. Son action est sphérique, et de ce fait, la platine, plus particulièrement le boîtier la contant, peut être positionné verticalement ou horizontalement en fonction de l'effet souhaité.The plate of the device of the invention is arranged horizontally or vertically. The tests carried out with the plate of the device of the invention made it possible to highlight its action over an area of about 40 m in diameter, with a tolerance of +/- 15%. Its action is spherical, and therefore, the plate, more particularly the housing contant, can be positioned vertically or horizontally depending on the desired effect.

Dans une variante de réalisation de l'invention, le dispositif comprend deux platines à l'intérieur d'un boîtier commun. Ceci permet d'avoir une action cumulée de deux platines et donc de couvrir et traiter une zone plus étendue, notamment dans des grands bâtiments.In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the device comprises two plates inside a common housing. This makes it possible to have a cumulative action of two plates and thus to cover and treat a larger area, especially in large buildings.

Le but de l'invention est atteint aussi avec un appareil de traitement de l'humidité ascensionnelle dans les murs d'un bâtiment ainsi que de l'humidité dans l'air comportant un boîtier renfermant un dispositif selon l'une des revendications précédentes et des moyens de circulation et de traitement d'air.The object of the invention is also achieved with an apparatus for treating rising humidity in the walls of a building as well as humidity in the air comprising a housing enclosing a device according to one of the preceding claims and circulation and air treatment means.

Ainsi, un tel appareil arrive à stopper les remontées capillaires et en même temps à traiter les effets qu'elles ont produit dans un bâtiment.Thus, such a device manages to stop the capillary rise and at the same time to treat the effects they have produced in a building.

Avantageusement, l'appareil de l'invention comprend plusieurs enceintes traversées une à la suite de l'autre par l'air soufflé, ces enceintes étant :

  • une première enceinte de filtration et de chauffage de l'air ;
  • une deuxième enceinte de déshumidification de l'air ;
  • une troisième enceinte de chargement de l'air en produit actif de traitement ;
  • une quatrième enceinte de diffusion de l'air traité.
Advantageously, the apparatus of the invention comprises several speakers crossed one after the other by the blown air, these speakers being:
  • a first chamber for filtering and heating the air;
  • a second chamber for dehumidifying the air;
  • a third air loading chamber made of active treatment product;
  • a fourth chamber for diffusing the treated air.

Le but de l'invention est également atteint avec un procédé de traitement de l'humidité d'un bâtiment, du fait qu'il comporte les étapes suivantes :

  • effectuer une première série de mesures en vue d'établir un premier diagnostic de l'humidité du bâtiment avant traitement;
  • définir remplacement de l'appareil de traitement ;
  • traiter l'humidité en fonction du diagnostic obtenu en utilisant un appareil de l'invention;
  • effectuer une deuxième série de mesures à un intervalle de temps déterminé en vue d'établir un deuxième diagnostic de l'humidité après traitement.
The object of the invention is also achieved with a method of treating the humidity of a building, since it comprises the following steps:
  • carry out a first series of measurements in order to establish a first diagnosis of the humidity of the building before treatment;
  • define replacement of the treatment apparatus;
  • to treat moisture according to the diagnosis obtained using an apparatus of the invention;
  • perform a second series of measurements at a specified time interval to establish a second diagnosis of moisture after treatment.

L'invention concerne également l'utilisation d'un dispositif électromagnétique de l'invention, produisant un champ électromagnétique pour le traitement de l'humidité d'un bâtiment, comprenant une étape de neutralisation des remontées capillaires et au moins l'une des étapes suivantes prises seules ou en combinaison

  • aspiration de l'air d'une pièce à travers un filtre et chauffage de l'air;
  • passage de l'air chauffé à travers un désodorisant ;
  • déshumidification de l'air ;
  • neutralisation des sels minéraux, nitrates, sulfates, champignons, moisissures ou salpêtre ;

Description détaillée de l'InventionDetailed description of the invention

Les figures 1a et 1b illustrent une platine 22 d'un dispositif électromagnétique 20 de l'invention. Le dispositif 20 comprend un boîtier 21 (fig. 3a et 3b et 4a à 4d) réalisé en un matériau perméable au champs électromagnétique, par exemple en étant réalisé en un matériau plastique tel que le PVC. Le boîtier 21 renferme au moins une platine 22,23. Les platines 22 et 23 étant identiques, la structure d'une seule platine 22 sera décrite dans ce qui suit.The Figures 1a and 1b illustrate a plate 22 of an electromagnetic device 20 of the invention. The device 20 comprises a housing 21 ( Fig. 3a and 3b and 4a to 4d ) made of a material permeable to the electromagnetic field, for example by being made of a plastic material such as PVC. The housing 21 encloses at least one plate 22, 23. The plates 22 and 23 being identical, the structure of a single plate 22 will be described in the following.

Les figures 1a et 1b illustrent mieux une telle platine 22 comportant un ensemble de circuits électriques 25 noyé dans un milieu électriquement isolant, en étant agencé au centre d'un bloc de résine 24 électriquement isolante, notamment du type époxy. L'ensemble de circuits électriques 25 comprend plusieurs boucles concentriques, de préférence neuf boucles B1 à B9 situées dans un même plan. Chaque boucle B1 à B9 est réalisée à base d'un conducteur électrique filaire monobrin (ou dans une variante préférée, certaines boucles peuvent être réalisées en un conducteur multibrins, formant notamment un câble tressé), appelé conducteur dans ce qui suit. Chaque conducteur est enroulé pour former une boucle continue plane, ayant une forme générale de double anneau et étant ouverte par une fente F1 à F9 à l'une de ses extrémités. Les boucles B1 à B9 sont agencées dans un même plan, de manière concentrique l'une par rapport à l'autre. Les fentes F1 à F9 de deux boucles adjacentes sont diamétralement opposées.The Figures 1a and 1b illustrate better such a plate 22 comprising a set of electrical circuits 25 embedded in an electrically insulating medium, being arranged in the center of an electrically insulating resin block 24, in particular of the epoxy type. The electrical circuitry 25 comprises a plurality of concentric loops, preferably nine loops B1 to B9 located in the same plane. Each loop B1 to B9 is made based on a single-wire wired electrical conductor (or in a preferred variant, certain loops can be made of a multi-stranded conductor, forming in particular a braided cable), called conductor in what follows. Each conductor is wound to form a continuous flat loop, having a generally double ring shape and being open by a slot F1 to F9 at one of its ends. The loops B1 to B9 are arranged in the same plane, concentrically with respect to each other. The slots F1 to F9 of two adjacent loops are diametrically opposed.

Tel que mieux visible à la figure 1b, une boucle B1 à B9 a une forme doublement circulaire, mais où les cercles ne sont pas complets. Les boucles 81 à B9 sont ouvertes par neuf fentes F1 à F9, chaque boucle B1 à B9 étant réalisée sous forme d'un anneau double qui est fermé d'un côté de ladite fente F1 à F9 et ouvert de l'autre côté de cette dernière. Une boucle B1 à B9 comporte une extrémité de départ D1 à D9 de son conducteur et une extrémité d'arrivée A1 à A9 de ce dernier. Une extrémité de départ D1 à D9 d'une boucle B1 à B9 se situe sur un cercle intérieur, à une distance d d'un axe vertical V passant par le centre O de la boucle B1 à B9. Le conducteur est enroulé en suivant la forme d'un cercle intérieur à partir de l'extrémité D1, selon un sens horaire, jusqu'à une distance d par rapport au même axe vertical V. A cet endroit, le conducteur de la boucle suit un chemin rectiligne parallèle à l'axe V sur une distance prédéterminée définissant l'épaisseur de la boucle, puis l'enroulement se fait dans l'autre sens pour obtenir le deuxième cercle extérieur de la boucle débouchant à son extrémité d'arrivée A1 à A9. De préférence, l'extrémité de départ D1 de la première boucle B1 démarre au niveau d'un axe horizontal H passant par son centre O, à une distance d de l'axe V, puis remonte verticalement jusqu'au niveau du diamètre de son cercle, ensuite elle s'enroule comme précédemment décrit.As best seen in the figure 1b a loop B1 to B9 has a doubly circular shape, but the circles are not complete. The loops 81 to B9 are opened by nine slots F1 to F9, each loop B1 to B9 being formed as a double ring which is closed on one side of said slot F1 to F9 and open on the other side thereof. last. A loop B1 to B9 has a starting end D1 to D9 of its conductor and an end of arrival A1 to A9 of the latter. A starting end D1 to D9 of a loop B1 to B9 is located on an inner circle at a distance d from a vertical axis V passing through the center O of the loop B1 to B9. The conductor is wound in the shape of an inner circle from the end D1, in a clockwise direction, to a distance d with respect to the same vertical axis V. At this point, the driver of the loop follows a rectilinear path parallel to the axis V over a predetermined distance defining the thickness of the loop, then the winding is in the other direction to obtain the second outer circle of the loop opening at its arrival end A1 to A9. Preferably, the starting end D1 of the first loop B1 starts at a horizontal axis H passing through its center O, at a distance d from the axis V, then goes vertically up to the diameter of its diameter. circle, then it wraps as previously described.

Une fente F1 à F9 a ainsi une largeur égale à deux fois la distance d. Les fentes F1, F3, F5, F7 et F9 sont orientées d'un côté de l'axe horizontal H et les fentes F2, F4, F6 et F8 de l'autre côté de l'axe H.A slot F1 to F9 thus has a width equal to twice the distance d. The slots F1, F3, F5, F7 and F9 are oriented on one side of the horizontal axis H and the slots F2, F4, F6 and F8 on the other side of the axis H.

A titre d'exemple, le diamètre extérieur de la neuvième boucle B9 est compris entre 230 mm et 290 mm et le diamètre extérieur de la première boucle B1 est compris entre 55 mm et 70 mm, et la distance d est comprise entre 9 mm et 12 mm. L'épaisseur du bloc de résine 24 (fig.1a) est comprise entre 8 mm et 100 mm. Dans une variante (non représenté), l'ensemble des circuits électrique 25 est situé d'un côté du bloc de résine 24.By way of example, the outside diameter of the ninth loop B9 is between 230 mm and 290 mm and the outside diameter of the first loop B1 is between 55 mm and 70 mm, and the distance d is between 9 mm and 12 mm. The thickness of the resin block 24 ( fig.1a ) is between 8 mm and 100 mm. In a variant (not shown), the set of electrical circuits 25 is located on one side of the resin block 24.

Les neuf boucles B1 à B9 de l'invention sont concentriques, elles ont un même centre O et une même épaisseur (par épaisseur on comprend la distance qui sépare le cercle intérieur de leur cercle extérieur). Les dimensions des boucles B1 à B9 sont croissantes à partir de la première boucle B1 en direction de la dernière boucle B9 et l'espacement entre deux boucles est de préférence égal à l'épaisseur d'une boucle, cette distance pouvant varier d'une boucle à une autre.The nine loops B1 to B9 of the invention are concentric, they have the same center O and the same thickness (by thickness, the distance separating the inner circle from their outer circle is understood). The dimensions of the loops B1 to B9 are increasing from the first loop B1 towards the last loop B9 and the spacing between two loops is preferably equal to the thickness of a loop, this distance being able to vary from one loop to another.

Il a été établi de manière surprenante par l'inventeur que le fonctionnement de l'appareil était optimum lorsque la première boucle B1 était réalisée en un conducteur en platine, que les boucles B2, B4, B6 et B8 étaient réalisées en un conducteur en argent et que les boucles B3, B5, B7 et 89 étaient réalisées en un conducteur en or. Un tel conducteur a de préférence une épaisseur comprise entre 0,1 mm et 8 mm.It has been surprisingly established by the inventor that the operation of the apparatus was optimum when the first loop B1 was made of a platinum conductor, that the loops B2, B4, B6 and B8 were made in one. silver conductor and that loops B3, B5, B7 and 89 were made of a gold conductor. Such a conductor preferably has a thickness of between 0.1 mm and 8 mm.

La figure 2 illustre un ensemble de circuits électriques 25 d'une platine 22 réalisée selon une variante de l'invention. L'ensemble comprend quatorze boucles b1 à b14 concentriques et coplanaires. Chaque boucle b1 à b14 est réalisée à base d'un conducteur électrique filaire monobrln (ou dans une variante préférée, certaines boucles peuvent être réalisées en un conducteur multibrins, formant notamment un câble tressé), appelé conducteur dans ce qui suit. Chaque boucle b1 à b14 a la forme d'un anneau ouvert ou d'un tore ouvert par une fente f1 à f14. Le diamètre de la boucle b1 est compris entre 5 et 10 mm et celui de la boucle b14 entre 220 mm et 290 mm. L'épaisseur du conducteur est de préférence comprise entre 0,1 mm et 8 mm, les conducteurs des différentes boucles pouvant avoir des épaisseurs différentes. La distance entre deux boucles adjacentes est comprise entre 5 mm et 10 mm et elle peut varier d'une boucle à une autre. La largeur des fentes f1 à f14 est comprise entre 3 mm et 10 mm et elle peut varier d'une fente à une autre. Les boucles B1 à B14 sont réalisées en au moins deux matériaux différents, ces matériaux étant choisis parmi les suivants: le cuivre, l'étain, le laiton, l'acier galvanisé, l'or, l'argent, le platine.The figure 2 illustrates a set of electrical circuits 25 of a plate 22 made according to a variant of the invention. The set comprises fourteen concentric and coplanar loops b1 to b14. Each loop b1 to b14 is made based on a wired electrical conductor monobrln (or in a preferred variant, some loops can be made of a multi-stranded conductor, including a braided cable), called conductor in what follows. Each loop b1 to b14 is in the form of an open ring or a torus opened by a slot f1 to f14. The diameter of the loop b1 is between 5 and 10 mm and that of the loop b14 between 220 mm and 290 mm. The thickness of the conductor is preferably between 0.1 mm and 8 mm, the conductors of the different loops may have different thicknesses. The distance between two adjacent loops is between 5 mm and 10 mm and can vary from one loop to another. The width of the slots f1 to f14 is between 3 mm and 10 mm and may vary from one slot to another. Loops B1 to B14 are made of at least two different materials, these materials being selected from the following: copper, tin, brass, galvanized steel, gold, silver, platinum.

La platine 22, 23 est de préférence agencée à l'intérieur d'un boîtier 21 ayant une forme et un volume prédéfinis. Un tel boîtier peut avoir une forme parallélépipédique à base rectangulaire ou carrée ou une forme de cube, ou une forme cylindrique ou une forme de prisme droite ayant une base de forme hexagonale ou octogonale ou encore une forme de pyramide ou de cône, ou de sphère ou une forme ovoïdale. Le volume d'un tel boîtier est au moins égal, de préférence supérieur au volume d'une platine 22,23. A titre d'exemple, la hauteur d'un tel boîtier est de minimum 240 mm et le diamètre dans laquelle s'inscrit sa base a une valeur de minimum 230 mm.The plate 22, 23 is preferably arranged inside a housing 21 having a predefined shape and volume. Such a housing may have a parallelepiped shape with a rectangular or square base or a cube shape, or a cylindrical shape or a straight prism shape having a hexagonal or octagonal base or a pyramid or cone shape, or a sphere shape. or an ovoid shape. The volume of such a housing is at least equal, preferably greater than the volume of a plate 22,23. By way of example, the height of such a housing is at least 240 mm and the diameter in which its base is inscribed has a value of at least 230 mm.

Le dispositif électromagnétique de l'invention comprend une ou deux platines 22,23 à l'intérieur d'un boîtier 21 ayant l'une des formes susmentionnées. Des boîtiers renfermant deux platines sont représentés aux figures 4a à 4d. Dans une variante (non représentée), deux boîtiers renfermant chacun une platine peuvent être superposés avant leur montage sur le mur à traiter ou à proximité de celui-ci.The electromagnetic device of the invention comprises one or two plates 22,23 within a housing 21 having one of the aforementioned forms. Enclosures enclosing two decks are shown in Figures 4a to 4d . In a variant (not shown), two housings each containing a plate can be superimposed before mounting on the wall to be treated or near it.

En fonctionnement, le dispositif électromagnétique 20 de l'invention est agencé à l'intérieur d'un bâtiment à traiter en étant positionné à un endroit prédéterminé, notamment celui correspondant aux perturbations de plus grande intensité du champ électromagnétique terrestre. Ces mesures sont réalisés avec un géomagnétomètre qui mesure la différence d'amplitude entre les ondes électromagnétiques captées à l'intérieur du bâtiment à traiter. L'appareil est ensuite agencé à l'endroit présentant la plus grande différence d'amplitude en l'orientant avec ses fentes F1 à F9 (fig.1b), respectivement f1 à f13 (fig. 2), en direction du pôle nord. L'action du dispositif électromagnétique 20 est sphérique, il a une zone d'action d'environ 40 m (dispositif de la fig.1b), respectivement d'environ 30 m (dispositif de la fig.2), avec un abattement de +/- 15%, autour de son point d'emplacement.In operation, the electromagnetic device 20 of the invention is arranged inside a building to be treated while being positioned at a predetermined location, in particular that corresponding to the disturbances of greater intensity of the terrestrial electromagnetic field. These measurements are made with a geomagnetometer that measures the difference in amplitude between the electromagnetic waves picked up inside the building to be treated. The apparatus is then arranged at the location having the greatest difference in amplitude by orienting it with its slots F1 to F9 ( fig.1b ), respectively f1 to f13 ( Fig. 2 ), towards the North Pole. The action of the electromagnetic device 20 is spherical, it has an action zone of about 40 m (device of the fig.1b ), respectively about 30 m (device of the fig.2 ), with an allowance of +/- 15%, around its location point.

Le dispositif 20 peut être placé avec la platine 22 disposée horizontalement (fig.3a) ou verticalement (fig.3b), en fonction de l'étendue de la zone à traiter et de l'emplacement du dispositif. Pour des champs électromagnétiques très perturbés et une zone humide très étendue, on peut utiliser deux platines 22,23 au sein d'un même boîtier 21. Ainsi, la figure 4a illustre un tel dispositif comportant deux platines 22,23 horizontales, la figure 4b illustre un dispositif comportant deux platines 22,23 verticales. Le dispositif de la figure 4c illustre un dispositif comportant une platine 22 inclinée, faisant un angle α avec l'horizontale et une platine 23 inclinée faisant un angle β avec l'horizontale ou α est différent de β. Le dispositif de la figure 4d illustre un dispositif comportant une platine 22 verticale avec une action orientée plus en profondeur et une deuxième platine 23 horizontale pour une action plus étendue dans le plan horizontal. L'agencement des deux platines (horizontales parallèles ou verticales parallèles, perpendiculaires ou inclinées) se fait suivant les coordonnées géographiques du lieu du traitement et de l'intensité du champ électromagnétique du lieu.The device 20 can be placed with the plate 22 arranged horizontally ( fig.3a ) or vertically ( 3B ), depending on the extent of the area to be treated and the location of the device. For highly disturbed electromagnetic fields and a very extensive wetland, two plates 22, 23 can be used within one and the same housing 21. figure 4a illustrates such a device comprising two horizontal plates 22,23, the figure 4b illustrates a device comprising two vertical plates 22,23. The device of the figure 4c illustrates a device comprising an inclined plate 22, making an angle α with the horizontal and an inclined plate 23 making an angle β with the horizontal where α is different from β. The device of the figure 4d illustrates a device comprising a vertical plate 22 with a more in-depth action and a second horizontal plate 23 for greater action in the horizontal plane. The arrangement of the two plates (horizontal parallel or vertical parallel, perpendicular or inclined) is made according to the geographical coordinates of the place of treatment and intensity of the electromagnetic field of the place.

Le dispositif électromagnétique 20 peut fonctionner seul ou, lorsque les problèmes d'humidité sont complexes, il est de préférence intégré à la structure d'un appareil de traitement de l'humidité.The electromagnetic device 20 may operate alone or, when the moisture problems are complex, it is preferably integrated into the structure of a moisture treatment apparatus.

La figure 5 illustre l'utilisation du dispositif électromagnétique 20 de l'invention avec un tel appareil de traitement de l'humidité 1, l'appareil étant représenté à côté d'un mur 2 qui fait partie d'un bâtiment à traiter. Sur la figure 5 on peut également observer les différentes parties du bâtiment présentant des problèmes liés à l'humidité, notamment : des zones présentant des problèmes de condensation 3, des zones présentant des remontées capillaires 4 ou des zones soumises aux infiltrations d'eaux de pluie 7, ainsi que leurs effets sur le bâtiment. Ainsi, il a été établi par le passé, tel que rappelé dans le document EP 0 354 150 , que les champs électriques et magnétiques alternatifs augmentent l'humidité ascensionnelle dans les murs. Ce champ électromagnétique variante entraîne une différence de potentiel provoquant une force électromotrice entraînant une poussée osmotique de bas en haut qui conduit le passage des particules d'eau chargée électriquement au pied des murs des bâtiments. Ainsi, en référence à la figure 5, on remarque des molécules d'eau chargées négativement 9 sont attirées par les charges positives 10 des matériaux du mur 2, ce qui provoque des remontées capillaires 4 dans le mur 2 ou dans le sol 11. Ce flux de particules arrivant via les capillaires de la couche géologique et ceux des matériaux des fondations remonte dans les capillaires du sol puis dans ceux des murs jusqu'à une certaine hauteur correspondant à son équilibre électrique. Le flux de particules d'eau stagne à cette hauteur dite d'équilibre, le mur 2 présentant une zone sèche 6 à partir de cette hauteur. Les remontées capillaires amènent au niveau du mur 2 des particules d'eau chargées de sels minéraux, par exemple des nitrates, des sulfates, des chlorures, etc., particules d'eau qui déposent ces sels dans les murs, dans les zones 8 de la figure 1, ayant pour conséquences la création de salpêtre, la détérioration des enduits, l'apparition de champignons ou de moisissures.The figure 5 illustrates the use of the electromagnetic device 20 of the invention with such a moisture treatment apparatus 1, the apparatus being shown beside a wall 2 which is part of a building to be treated. On the figure 5 it is also possible to observe the different parts of the building presenting problems related to humidity, in particular: zones presenting problems of condensation 3, areas presenting capillary rise 4 or zones subjected to the infiltration of rainwater 7, as well as as their effects on the building. Thus, it has been established in the past, as recalled in the document EP 0 354 150 , that alternating electric and magnetic fields increase the upward humidity in the walls. This variant electromagnetic field causes a potential difference causing an electromotive force causing an upward osmotic thrust that drives the passage of electrically charged water particles at the foot of building walls. So, with reference to the figure 5 , negatively charged water molecules 9 are attracted by the positive charges 10 of the materials of the wall 2, which causes capillary 4 to rise in the wall 2 or in the ground 11. This flow of particles arriving via the capillaries of the geological layer and those of the materials of the foundations go up in the capillaries of the ground then in those of the walls up to a certain height corresponding to its electrical balance. The flow of water particles stagnates at this so-called equilibrium height, the wall 2 having a dry zone 6 from this height. The capillary rise brings at the level of the wall 2 water particles loaded with mineral salts, for example nitrates, sulphates, chlorides, etc., water particles which deposit these salts in the walls, in zones 8 of the figure 1 , resulting in the creation of saltpeter, the deterioration of coatings, the appearance of fungi or mold.

Par ailleurs, des phénomènes de condensation peuvent se produire à l'intérieur d'un bâtiment, condensation due à l'activité humaine à l'intérieur du bâtiment ou à la présence de ponts thermiques 12. Les zones à condensation 3 mieux visibles à la figure 1, provoquent à leur tour des moisissures, des champignons, de mauvaises odeurs à l'intérieur du bâtiment.In addition, condensation phenomena can occur inside a building, condensation due to human activity inside the building or the presence of thermal bridges 12. The condensing zones 3 are more visible in the building. figure 1 , in turn cause mold, fungi, odors inside the building.

L'appareil 1 de l'invention permet de résoudre les problèmes provoqués par la présence de l'humidité dans le bâtiment en étant constitué d'une pluralité d'enceintes ou modules qui permettent à la fois de stopper les remontées capillaires et de traiter l'air à l'intérieur d'une pièce du bâtiment de manière à neutraliser les effets de l'humidité à l'intérieur d'un bâtiment. Les différents enceintes et modules de l'invention seront présentés dans ce qui suit.The apparatus 1 of the invention makes it possible to solve the problems caused by the presence of humidity in the building by being constituted by a plurality of enclosures or modules which make it possible both to stop the capillary rise and to treat the air inside a building room so as to neutralize the effects of moisture inside a building. The various speakers and modules of the invention will be presented in the following.

L'appareil 1 comprend un boîtier 14 muni d'une entrée d'air permettant l'admission de l'air ambiant à l'intérieur d'une pièce ou, dans une variante, de l'air neuf en provenance de l'extérieur du bâtiment. Le boîtier renferme également des moyens de circulation d'air permettant à l'air entrant à l'intérieur du boîtier selon une flèche E de passer à travers des différentes enceintes ou modules M1 à M6 de l'appareil dans l'exemple de la figure 1 et ressortir selon la flèche S, tel qu'il sera expliqué par la suite. Lorsque l'appareil a une structure modulaire et lorsque chaque module M1 à M6 a son propre boîtier muni de raccordements au module suivant, le boîtier 1 de l'appareil peut être absent de la structure de celui-ci.The apparatus 1 comprises a housing 14 provided with an air inlet allowing the admission of the ambient air inside a room or, in a variant, fresh air from the outside. of the building. The casing also contains air circulation means allowing the air entering inside the casing according to an arrow E to pass through different enclosures or modules M1 to M6 of the apparatus in the example of FIG. figure 1 and stand out according to the arrow S, as will be explained later. When the apparatus has a modular structure and when each module M1 to M6 has its own housing provided with connections to the next module, the housing 1 of the apparatus may be absent from the structure thereof.

L'air est mis en circulation pour être admis dans une première enceinte M6 comportant un premier boîtier muni d'un filtre vers les ouverture d'entrée d'air, ledit filtre permettant de retenir les poussières, les polluants, les virus, les bactéries, les germes, les odeurs, les spores, les allergènes, les parasites des animaux, les fumées, les vapeurs chimiques ou les composés organiques volatils, etc. Le boîtier de cette première enceinte renferme également un élément chauffant électrique destiné à réchauffer l'air du boîtier à une température d'environ 14°C à 21°C dans le but de favoriser par la suite l'extraction de l'humidité qu'il contient, mais également de fournir du confort aux personnes qui se trouvent dans la pièce soumise au traitement.The air is circulated to be admitted into a first enclosure M6 having a first housing provided with a filter to the air inlet opening, said filter for retaining dust, pollutants, viruses, bacteria germs, odors, spores, allergens, animal parasites, fumes, chemical vapors or volatile organic compounds, etc. The housing of this first enclosure also contains an electric heating element for heating the air of the housing to a temperature of about 14 ° C to 21 ° C in order to further promote the extraction of moisture that it contains, but also to provide comfort to who are in the room undergoing treatment.

Après avoir été filtré et réchauffé, l'air sort du premier boîtier de la première enceinte M6 par un premier conduit de passage qui communique avec une ouverture d'entrée d'air dans une enceinte de désodorisation M5. L'enceinte M5 comprend, à l'intérieur de son boîtier, un ou plusieurs chargeurs qui sont par exemple du type céramique poreuse à possibilité de stockage en vue de la diffusion d'un produit anti-bactérien volatile et d'un parfum du type cosmétique non allergène. L'enceinte M5 a pour rôle de couvrir les odeurs des salpêtres ou mérules ou celles des moisissures ou des champignons, voire les odeurs produites par les activités des occupants de la pièce traitée, ainsi que d'assainir l'air ambiant par une action bactéricide.After having been filtered and heated, the air exits the first housing of the first enclosure M6 by a first passage conduit which communicates with an air inlet opening in a deodorizing chamber M5. The enclosure M5 comprises, inside its housing, one or more chargers which are for example of the porous ceramic type with a storage possibility for the diffusion of a volatile anti-bacterial product and a perfume of the type non-allergenic cosmetic. The role of the M5 chamber is to cover the odors of saltpeter or meruli or those of molds or fungi, even the odors produced by the activities of the occupants of the room treated, as well as to clean the ambient air by a bactericidal action. .

L'air sortant du boîtier de l'enceinte M5 passe par un deuxième conduit de passage avec une entrée d'air à l'intérieur du boîtier d'une deuxième enceinte M4 de déshumidification. Le boîtier de l'enceinte M4 renferme en sa partie inférieure un moteur qui met en rotation un ventilateur ou un compresseur permettant une circulation de l'air à l'intérieur de l'appareil 1. La circulation de l'air se fait en surpression ou en forçant l'air vers la sortie de l'appareil, conformément aux flèches illustrées sur la figure 5. Le boîtier renferme également une batterie froide qui a le rôle de condenser l'air arrivant au contact de son échangeur de chaleur et le décharger ainsi de l'humidité. Les gouttes d'eau extraites du flux d'air après condensation sont collectées par un bac de récupération. Dans une variante, la batterie froide peut être remplacée par un moyen de déshydratation du type roue d'absorption au silicagel. De préférence, l'enceinte M4 comporte un hygrostat permettant de régler le taux hygrométrique et donc le fonctionnement de la batterie froide, mais également la vitesse de ventilation ou de circulation d'air dans l'appareil. Dans une variante, lorsque l'on fait entrer de l'air neuf et sec (en provenance de l'extérieur du bâtiment), les moyens de déshumidification ne sont plus activés.The air leaving the housing of the enclosure M5 passes through a second passage conduit with an air inlet inside the housing of a second chamber M4 dehumidification. The housing of the enclosure M4 contains in its lower part a motor which rotates a fan or a compressor allowing air to circulate inside the device 1. The air circulation is overpressure or by forcing the air towards the exit of the apparatus, according to the arrows illustrated on the figure 5 . The casing also contains a cold battery which acts to condense the air coming into contact with its heat exchanger and thus discharge it from moisture. Drops of water extracted from the air stream after condensation are collected by a recovery tank. In a variant, the cold battery can be replaced by a dehydration means of the silica gel absorption wheel type. Preferably, the enclosure M4 includes a hygrostat for adjusting the humidity level and therefore the operation of the cold battery, but also the speed of ventilation or air circulation in the device. In a variant, when fresh and dry air is introduced (from outside the building), the dehumidification means are no longer activated.

L'air sortant du boîtier de la deuxième enceinte M4 par un troisième conduit de passage arrive à l'entrée d'air dans une enceinte M3 dont le boîtier renferme un dispositif électromagnétique 20 de l'invention destiné à stopper les remontées capillaires. Le dispositif électromagnétique 20 comprend une platine ayant une forme générale de prisme droit dont la base s'inscrit dans un cercle de diamètre compris entre 230 mm et 290 mm et son hauteur est comprise entre 8 mm et 100 mm, ladite platine pouvant être agencé à l'intérieur d'une enceinte traversée par le flux d'air, tel qu'illustré aux figures ou, dans une variante préférée de réalisation de l'invention, elle peut être agencée dans un espace libre du boîtier 14 de l'appareil 1 de manière à obtenir une construction encore plus compacte de celui-ci.The air leaving the housing of the second enclosure M4 by a third passage conduit arrives at the air inlet in an enclosure M3 whose housing encloses a electromagnetic device 20 of the invention for stopping the capillary rise. The electromagnetic device 20 comprises a platen having a general shape of a right prism whose base is in a circle of diameter between 230 mm and 290 mm and its height is between 8 mm and 100 mm, said platen being able to be arranged at inside an enclosure through which the airflow flows, as illustrated in the figures or, in a preferred embodiment of the invention, it can be arranged in a free space of the housing 14 of the apparatus 1 so as to obtain an even more compact construction of it.

L'air sortant de l'enceinte M3 passe par un quatrième conduit et arrive à l'entrée d'air dans une troisième enceinte de chargement de l'air en produit actif de traitement M2. L'enceinte M2 comporte un boîtier supportant en sa partie supérieure un réservoir de produit de traitement. Ce produit de traitement peut être une résine liquide, une poudre déshydratée, un gel actif, un minéralisant de pierre, etc. et a pour rôle de neutraliser les sels minéraux, les champignons, les moisissures ou le salpêtre. Le réservoir coopère avec un distributeur au-dessous muni d'un bouton de réglage du débit du distributeur. En fonctionnement, l'air arrivant dans le boîtier de l'enceinte M2 se charge en produit actif de traitement avant de sortir par un cinquième conduit de passage en direction d'une quatrième enceint de diffusion M1.The air leaving the enclosure M3 passes through a fourth duct and arrives at the air inlet in a third air loading chamber made of active M2 treatment product. The enclosure M2 comprises a housing supporting at its upper part a reservoir of treatment product. This treatment product may be a liquid resin, a dehydrated powder, an active gel, a stone mineralizer, etc. and its role is to neutralize mineral salts, fungi, molds or saltpeter. The tank cooperates with a distributor below equipped with a distributor flow control knob. In operation, the air arriving in the housing of the enclosure M2 is charged with active treatment product before leaving by a fifth passage passage towards a fourth diffusion enclosure M1.

L'enceinte M1 comprend un boîtier muni d'une entrée pour l'admission de l'air traité et chargé en particules de produit actif dans un conduit central d'où il passe par un conduit de dérivation en direction de deux chambres reliées chacune à des tuyaux de diffusion de l'air en direction du mur à traiter.The enclosure M1 comprises a housing provided with an inlet for the admission of treated air and charged with particles of active product in a central duct from which it passes through a bypass duct towards two chambers each connected to air diffusion pipes towards the wall to be treated.

Une alimentation électrique commune à plusieurs enceintes est prévue, ainsi que des moyens de connexion électrique entre les différentes enceintes, lorsque celles-ci sont réalisées de manière démontable. Dans une variante avantageuse de l'invention, les différents modules sont reliés entre eux par un conducteur électrique de terre pouvant être connecté à une prise de mise à terre.A power supply common to several speakers is provided, as well as electrical connection means between the different speakers, when they are made in a removable manner. In an advantageous variant of the invention, the different modules are connected to each other by an electrical earth conductor that can be connected to a grounding plug.

Le fonctionnement de l'appareil 1 de l'invention est adapté aux problèmes d'humidité existants dans le bâtiment à traiter.

These measurements are carried out inside and outside the building, the general condition of the building, its location and its surroundings being also taken into account.

L'emplacement et fonctionnement de l'appareil se font en fonction de conclusions de ce rapport de mesures. L'appareil est placé dans une pièce, à l'endroit où les mesures indiquent un maximum de perturbations du champs électromagnétique. Ensuite, les enceintes ou modules M1 à M6 sont activés de manière à fonctionner simultanément ou de manière sélective. Lorsqu'ils fonctionnent de manière sélective, ses composants peuvent être activés ou désactivés en actionnant des moyens de commande associés à chaque module. Dans une variante, les différentes enceintes étant réalisées de manière modulaire, on comprend que chaque enceinte comprend son propre boîtier et est munie de moyens de raccordement amovibles, notamment au niveau des conduits de passage d'air, les enceintes ou modules inactifs sont branchés ou débranchés en fonction du diagnostique établit. Dans encore une autre variante, on pourrait imaginer un conduit de passage d'air commun à toutes les enceintes, mais où l'accès dans une enceinte est asservi à l'ouverture ou à la fermeture d'une vanne permettant à l'air circulant dans l'appareil d'accéder dans le volume de l'enceinte ou seulement de la traverser pour accéder à l'enceinte suivante.The location and operation of the device are based on the conclusions of this measurement report. The device is placed in a room at the location where the measurements indicate the maximum disturbance of the electromagnetic field. Then, the speakers or modules M1 to M6 are activated to operate simultaneously or selectively. When operating selectively, its components can be activated or deactivated by operating control means associated with each module. In a variant, the different speakers being made in a modular manner, it is understood that each enclosure includes its own housing and is provided with removable connection means, particularly at the air ducts, speakers or inactive modules are connected or disconnected according to the diagnostic established. In yet another variant, one could imagine a common air passage duct to all the speakers, but where the access in a chamber is slaved to the opening or closing of a valve allowing the circulating air in the device to access the volume of the speaker or only to cross to access the next speaker.

Quelques exemples d'activation des modules en fonction du ou des problèmes à résoudre seront décrits dans ce qui suit. Pour stopper les remontées capillaires, le module M3 doit être présent dans tous les cas. De surcroît, pour traiter des problèmes de remontées capillaires et de champignons ou de moisissures, tous les autres modules M1, M2, M4, M5 et M6 doivent être activés. La neutralisation des sels minéraux fait plutôt appel aux modules M1 et M2. L'infiltration des eaux de pluie est traitée plus particulièrement avec les modules M4, M5 et M6. Les problèmes de condensation liés à la présence d'un pont thermique sont traitées en utilisant les modules M4 et M6. Les problèmes de desquamation de la pierre sont traités avec les modules M1, M2 et M3.Some examples of activation of the modules according to the problem or problems to be solved will be described in the following. To stop the capillary rise, the M3 module must be present in all cases. Moreover, to treat problems of capillary rise and fungus or mold, all other modules M1, M2, M4, M5 and M6 must be activated. The neutralization of mineral salts uses the M1 and M2 modules instead. The infiltration of rainwater is treated more particularly with the modules M4, M5 and M6. Condensation problems related to the presence of a thermal bridge are treated using modules M4 and M6. The problems of flaking of the stone are treated with the modules M1, M2 and M3.

Un contrôle de l'humidité est effectué après une période de fonctionnement prédéterminée de l'appareil, par exemple après quelques mois. Suite à ce contrôle, les différents modules peuvent être maintenus à l'état actif, tel qu'initialement prévu, ou certains peuvent être désactivés.A humidity control is carried out after a predetermined period of operation of the apparatus, for example after a few months. Following this check, the different modules can be kept in the active state, as originally planned, or some can be disabled.

Dans une variante, dès lors que le diagnostique d'humidité ou le contrôle après traitement indiquent que le mur est sec, on pourrait faire fonctionner l'appareil seulement en un mode d'entretien et de confort, notamment en envoyant dans la pièce d'habitation de l'air filtré, chauffé et transportant des molécules odorantes. Ainsi, l'appareil peut rester branché, les diffuseurs linéaires ou à buse étant très discrets, n'empiètent pas beaucoup sur l'espace habitable.In a variant, since the humidity diagnosis or the control after treatment indicate that the wall is dry, it could operate the device only in a maintenance mode and comfort, including sending in the room. home filtered air, heated and carrying odorous molecules. Thus, the device can remain connected, the linear or nozzle diffusers being very discreet, do not encroach much on the living space.

D'autres variantes et modes de réalisation de l'invention peuvent être envisagés sans sortir du cadre de ses revendications.Other variants and embodiments of the invention may be envisaged without departing from the scope of his claims.

Ainsi, d'autres formes de boîtier de réception de la ou des platines de l'invention peuvent être envisagées. Un agencement des ces platines à l'intérieur d'une niche du mur à traiter et dont les parois sont délimités selon les formes et dimensions équivalentes à ceux d'un boîtier du dispositif de l'invention peut également être envisagé.Thus, other forms of receiving housing of the or platens of the invention can be envisaged. An arrangement of these plates inside a niche of the wall to be treated and whose walls are delimited in the shapes and dimensions equivalent to those of a housing of the device of the invention can also be envisaged.
