Definitions
- the present invention concerns a device for adding a gas to a liquid, particularly for use in connection with fish rearing tanks and in cleaning technique, as stated in the introductory part of Claim 1.
- the invention is particularly directed to use in rearing tanks.
- Adding gas to a liquid may be effected for many reasons, such as to add anaesthetic gas when slaughtering fish in rearing tanks, for floatation basins in cleaning plants, adding oxygen to biofilters or for oxygenating the water in a rearing tank (tanks and large ponds).
- Such tasks may today be performed with different equipment, such as diffusors, ejector pumps, O 2 -columns, pond airing and deep shaft systems.
- US 4 844 843 discloses a device for adding gas to a liquid, at the same time as they are mixed.
- the device comprises an elongated tube for supply of liquid and gas, and a stirring mechanism in the form of a motor driven propeller arranged by the outlet of the tube, for providing the liquid and the gas to be well mixed and that the mixture is driven out in the liquid reservoir.
- a stirring mechanism in the form of a motor driven propeller arranged by the outlet of the tube, for providing the liquid and the gas to be well mixed and that the mixture is driven out in the liquid reservoir.
- the jet should be controlled with respect to amount, pressure and direction, and thus give optimum tank hydraulics in different operating situations.
- a device according to the present invention, generally designated 1.
- the device 1 comprises a pump 2 having a motor 3 connected to an operation shaft 4.
- a pump vane 5 At the outer end of the operating shaft 4 is connected a pump vane 5.
- the operating shaft 4 is arranged within a cylindrical housing 6, which in operation is partly submerged in water as shown in the drawing with an imaginary water line.
- a first inlet opening 8 for air situated over the water line, and below the water line is situated a second inlet opening 9 for water.
- a gas tube 7, which is best illustrated in Fig. 2.
- the gas tube 4 is at its upper end provided with an inlet opening for air and is at its lower end terminated in a nozzle 11, having openings 12 distributed around the circumference of the nozzle 11.
- the nozzle 11 with the openings 12 is surrounded with a venturi 13 connected to a pump housing 14.
- the gas tube 7 can be controlled in the longitudinal direction of housing 6, by means of a controlling means 15.
- the controlling means 15 comprises an adjustment bracket 16 connected to housing 6, and which contains a mounting bracket 18.
- the mounting bracket 18 is connected to a block 20 situated within housing 6.
- Block 20 is mounted to an upper holding plate 21 connected to the gas tube 7, and movable relative to housing 6.
- the upper holding plate 21 can move the gas tube 7, as the holding screw 19 slides in a slit (not shown) on the wall of the housing 6.
- the gas tube can be moved up and down in the housing 6, as it slides in a lower holding plate 22, mounted to the inner wall of the housing 6.
- a jet tube 23 which is bent 90° in fig.1, to extend parallel to the housing 6 along the substantial part of its length .
- the jet tube 23 can also be positioned in other ways, for example, when rearing/breeding flatfish the jet tube 23 should be situated horizontally along the bottom of the rearing tank. Jet orifices 24 are situated along the jet tube 23, in its longitudinal direction.
- the jet orifices have closure/controlling means (not shown), so that they can be individually closed, or controlled, respectively.
- pressure controller 25 which functions as a pressure indicator and alarm transmitter.
- the motor 3 will drive the operating axle 4 and thus the pump vane 5 into rotation. Water will be drawn in from the second inlet opening 9 into the pump housing, and ejected out through the jet orifices 24 of the jet tube 23. Additionally, air that a conventional pump would have rejected as false air, is drawn in through the first inlet opening 8, and sucked through the openings 12 of the nozzle 11 of the nozzle tube 7.
- the air from the nozzle openings 12 is mixed into the water, in the forrn of bubbles. These bubbles are expanded in the underpressure created through the venturi 13.
- the pump vane When water has passed the venturi 13, the pump vane will, by whipping, cause the bubbles to divide in a plurality of smaller bubbles,which will be betterdistributed in the water leaving the jet tube 23.
- FIG. 3 In fig. 3 is shown a second example of an embodiment of the present invention.
- air from the inlet opening 8 is not only sucked in by the pump vane 5, but also pumped in by a multiple step pump 27.
- the device is provided with a float 26, to ensure correct operation level in the liquid.
- Controlling the position of the nozzle 11 in relation to the venturi 13, and the velocity of the pump vane 5 can also be effected automatically. This may be performed by means of electrical and/or hydraulic means, based on the background of desired flow velocity / flow relations and O 2 -concentration.
- the motor may be constructed horizontally and be situated below the water surface and may have a short axle to the pump vane. In such an embodynent the thermal energy of the motor may be transferred to the water of the tank.
