Based on crystallisation theory and on Royer's structural-geometrical similarity principle, the article explains why structural rearrangement initiated in a supersaturated solution by magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) resonance makes it possible to avoid formation of carbonate deposits on heat-exchange surfaces. The article also defines the scope of applicability of magnetic treatment (MHD resonance).
