| 20110052909 | DEVICE FOR THERMOHYDRAULIC APPLICATIONS WITH IMPROVED WATER SOFTENING PROPERTIES, LOWER RELEASE OF HEAVY METALS, AND RELATIVE METHOD OF MANUFACTURING - Device for thermohydraulic applications wherein at least one portion of one surface destined for contact with water is coated with a film comprising at least one layer of a material applied by means of plasma phase polymerization of one or more monomers containing silicone. The relative method for obtaining the device comprises the following phases: to precondition a device for thermohydraulic applications within a vacuum chamber; to bring the vacuum chamber to pressure conditions between 0.01 and 100 Pa; to introduce a first gaseous mixture comprising at least a monomer containing silicone into said chamber; to bring said monomer containing silicone to the plasma state by means of an electromagnetic wave; to maintain the ionization conditions for a period of time sufficient to permit the deposit of a layer of a polymer containing said monomer on at least a portion of a surface of said device. | 03-03-2011 |
