Abstract
Description
- The invention relates to an intercepting sewer for conveying waste water down steep slopes.
- GB-A-556 707 discloses a drainage or sewerage pipe whose main object is to reduce the fall. This is achieved by means of the retention of pools of liquid or moisture in the pipes after the flow through same has ceased. The pools are obtained by shaping the inner surface of this pipe frusto-conically. Therefore the inner diameter of the pipe gradually changes along its length.
- WO-A-8 101 736 discloses a plastic pipe whose walls have a uniform thickness along all of its length. The outer surface of the pipe generally has not a cylindrical shape since bulgings alternate with cylindrical portions, as shown in the figures. This particular shape of the pipe aims at reducing the consumption of plastic material and, as a consequence, the weight of the pipe in comparison with conventional pipes. The same amount of liquid substantially flows through the known pipe as it does through a pipe with smooth inner surface.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide an intercepting sewer for the conveyance of waste water, down steep slopes, at relatively low flow speed. As known, the waste water contains the most heterogeneous suspended materials which, particularly in the case of steep slopes, perform a significant abrasive action on the sewer's inner surface. In order to reduce the abrasion, the flow speed has to be reduced. This is achieved by means of projections provided inside the piping or sewer in the invention. Therefore, the aim of the present invention is completely different, actually the opposite one, with respect to the above documents which aims to not reduce the flow speed. Moreover, the sewer in the present invention has a substantially better resistance to abrasion in comparison with that of the pipe cited in the WO-A-8 101 736.
- Compared to the pipes above, the main advantage of the present invention is that there is no need for head pits also in the case of steep slopes.
- Installation of a sewer trunk line in steeply sloping ground implies some technical and economical problems to be handled. Most of these are arising from an essential condition that is to limit velocity in the duct to a maximum recommended velocity of 4-5 m/s.
- When using conventional pipes of circular cross-section, the problem is handled in part by the provision of fall or head pits along the pipe profile and in part by increasing the cross-sectional surface of an intercepting sewer.
- The use of fall pits permits the inclination of a pipe line to be reduced, section by section, so as to bring the intercepting sewer to the desired depth whenever this latter would approach too much to a surface level. As is known, such an approach leads to significant final design costs and to difficulties in achieving the work, especially when it is to be carried out in a built-up area, since in this case in addition to deeper digging operations involving added charges, there is special works to be taken into account in order to prevent neighbouring edifices from being damaged.
- Increasing the flow sectional area will lower velocity, due to the smaller hydraulic radius the flow is occupying in moving in the lower portion of pipe line. However, changes are modest in extent and pipes of significantly greater diameter than strictly necessary are to be used which obviously imples far lower filling degrees than applied usually (normal values: about 75%).
- This type of solution will also be very expensive in the end, due to higher production costs involved (pipe and pipe-laying costs, increased digging and embankment work, laying-bed, rebuilding, etc.) together with servicing costs for the installation to be maintained in a functional state (ordinary and special maintenance).
- The object of the invention is to provide a branch sewer which is so designed that-the flow rate and the slope being the same-it permits the flow velocity to be reduced without having recourse to any head pits and without requiring increased pipe diameter or other provisions which will affect economy of the work.
- The above and other objects of the invention will appear to those skilled in the art when reading the following description and claims with reference to the accompanying drawing.
- The above objects are achieved by an intercepting sewer for the conveyance of waste water down steep gradients having a smooth outer surface and inner projections, characterized in that a succession of substantially identical circumference projections are provided, said circumferential projections defining a passage having a predetermined diameter and alternating with annular grooves having a substantially uniform diameter.
- Referring now to the figure of the accompanying drawing, and in order to substantialize the advantage of the invention, it is supposed that the intercepting sewer in question has a maximum inside diameter of 37 cm and is provided with internal protrusions having a mean distance between the centers of 13.2 cm and a jutting-out thickness of 0.85 cm (thus, minimum diameter of intercepting-sewer at projections, 35.3 cm and mean diameter, 36.15 cm), the intercepting sewer being laid at 10% slope.
- From a study of the following table it can, for example, be noted that at flow rate Q=101.5 I/sec, the velocity V=2.43 m/sec, whereas by using a conventional intercepting sewer of constant circular section, and with the flow rate Q being the same, in order to achieve the same velocity it would be necessary to provide a 3% slope with conventional intercepting-sewer roughness coefficient of Strickler formula ik=75 and 1.9% slope with ik=95.
