Definitions

  • the invention describes an arrangement for the automatic cleaning and disinfection of odor traps in sewers. Cleaning and disinfection take place automatically during the intended use and without interrupting the function of the odor trap. It is carried out by means of a combination of electromechanical oscillation, of vibrations of low frequency up to ultrasound sonication, heating of the odor trap interior and the barrier liquid and prevention of inner wall growth by a novel antifouling for a stench-resistant and antimicrobial coating.
  • Wastewater pipelines with zones of low or highly fluctuating flow rate such as, for example, integrated odor traps, in which wastewater simultaneously serves as a trap medium, are known to be habitats and propagation sites of microorganisms. In odor occlusions there are at times optimal conditions for the survival and reproduction of harmful germs.
  • the killing effect at sensibly installable ultrasonic powers is only possible with relatively long sonication times (one hour and longer), while at temperatures of 50 ° C only a few minutes are sufficient. At this temperature, no killing of microorganisms takes place by the heat alone. In practice, it is also necessary to perform the sonication at intervals while keeping the sonication time as short as possible. On the other hand, efficiency and noise levels require the installation of the lowest possible ultrasound intensities. The interval-like sonication of the interior of the odor trap leads to the replacement of existing wall coverings, especially at higher temperatures, and at the same time prevents a new occupancy.
  • the object of the invention to be described below is a self-disinfecting odor trap to describe what the problem the propagation and the discharge of microorganisms from sewage pipelines with not representable by the current state of the art Safety and reproducibility through maximum and always reproducible Germ killing solves the fouling of the inside walls of odor locks and Exterminating aerosols contaminated with living germs Pipe prevents and thereby the above-mentioned disadvantages does not have known developments.
  • the air in the interior of the odor trap can additionally by means of Sterilized ultraviolet light.
  • Microorganisms by means of low-frequency electromechanical vibrations prevented from settling on the siphon wall or existing coverings be replaced.
  • the apparatus consists of a odor trap of known type 1 Stainless steel or other materials coated with a non-stick coating 2 may be provided, at least one apparatus for ultrasonic sonication 3, or for treatment with low-frequency electromechanical Vibrations 3A, the liquid 4 in this space and the in the liquid projecting filling tube 5 with simultaneous temperature 6, a coupling with a device for closing the pipe inlet opening 7, a closure membrane 8 and optionally a treatment device the air space located above the barrier fluid 16 and the Closing membrane 8 with light, preferably ultraviolet light.
  • the ultrasonic sound system consists of at least one ultrasound generator 9 and at least one ultrasound transducer 3, which is either applied externally to the odor trap or is introduced directly into the standing liquid.
  • the liquid 4 present in the pipeline and the self-disinfecting odor trap is brought to an optimum temperature for the destruction of the microorganisms or for the inhibition of the germ multiplication by means of a tembler system of any type 6 and held thereon for at least the time of the ultrasound treatment.
  • at least one thermal sensor 10 may be mounted inside or outside the reaction space.
  • the apparatus can be isolated by means of an insulating layer 11 against heat radiation to the outside.
  • the tempering 6 can be outside or inside the reaction space be installed.
  • a light source (preferably UV emitter) 13 may be installed so that the air space above the barrier layer and aerosols located therein be sterilized.
  • the entire apparatus is surrounded by an outer housing 14.
  • the apparatus includes a control cabinet 15.
  • the self-disinfecting odor trap may be instrumented differently consuming according to the requirements, which result essentially from the nature and the germ content of the waste water and the mode of operation of the odor trap.
  • According to the self-disinfecting odor trap is always provided with at least one sonication device, at least one heating or thermostating device and the associated control technology.
  • the thus formed self-disinfecting odor trap ensures maximum security against all those drains that are used irregularly and where there is a risk of interim dehydration.
  • the level control is the main signal generator This means that both heating and ultrasound can only be put into operation when the level is sufficient.
  • the heating power can be installed arbitrarily high, so that a very short heating phase can be achieved. By the thermostat control exceeding the temperature necessary for the sound is avoided even at the time of the beginning of the heating before the ultrasonic treatment in the odor trap hot liquids.
  • the closure membrane is mounted directly on the projecting into the drain pipe part of the mechanical opening mechanism of the drain.
  • the closure membrane consists of a membrane of any material. It is compressed centrally by liquid flowing into the drain. In the non-compressed state, it separates the air space above the barrier liquid from the ambient air even when the drainage cap is open.
  • the thus formed self-disinfecting odor trap ensures maximum security against all those drains that are used irregularly and where there is a risk of interim dehydration.
  • the level control is the main signal generator. This means that both heating and ultrasound can only be put into operation when the level is sufficient.
  • the heating power can be installed arbitrarily high, so that a very short heating phase can be achieved.
  • the thermostat control prevents the temperature required for sonication from being exceeded, even when hot liquids are present in the odor trap at the time of the start of the heating prior to the ultrasonic treatment.
  • the mechanical membrane closure is mounted directly on the projecting into the drain pipe part of the mechanical opening mechanism of the drain.
  • the closure membrane consists of a membrane of any material.
  • the apparatus is functional in the following version with minimal equipment. It is only so much heating power installed on the heating system 6 that no temperature control over a thermostat part is necessary because the necessary for the sterilization temperature is usually not exceeded or limited in time so that significant evaporation losses can not occur.
  • Heating and ultrasound systems are switched with a time delay. First, the heating system is switched on. When the time required to reach the sterilization temperature is reached, the heater switches off and the ultrasound switches off. The sterilization temperature is achieved by designing the heater after a certain experimentally determined time. At this time, the heater is turned off and the ultrasound is turned on
  • the equipment is in the following version with minimal equipment for self-cleaning and killing microorganisms already at temperatures be killed by about 60 ° C (Pseudomonas aeruginosa) in the execution functional with low-frequency electromechanical oscillation:
  • Heating and low - frequency public address systems are therefore switched with a time delay.
  • Embodiment 5 is a self-disinfecting odor trap in the form of a common bottle siphon in minimal instrumentation with ultrasound, heating and heat insulation
  • the installed heating power is selected so that the barrier liquid is heated either very quickly (higher heat output) or slow (low heat output)
  • a low heat output ca.0,1 - 0,3 watt / ml
  • a minimum temperature of the barrier liquid at the beginning of the heating is assumed. The temperature necessary for the sonication is reached after a long time (30-60 minutes). At this time, the ultrasound is then switched on.
  • This arrangement is for frequent and regularly used drains into the Liquids with higher germ contents and lower temperatures be introduced, advantageous.
  • the barrier liquid In the case of the installation of a high heat output (approx. 1 - 3 watt / ml barrier liquid), the barrier liquid will reach temperatures close to the boiling point of the barrier liquid within a few minutes, regardless of the outlet temperature. This temperature is maintained during the time of the sonication, which may then be very short. Heating and ultrasound are switched on and off at the same time. With this arrangement, particularly stubborn spore formers are killed in no time. For non-sporulating bacteria as well as yeasts and fungi only a very short sonication time is necessary
  • Embodiment 7 provides a self-disinfecting odor trap the shape of a common bottle siphon in minimal instrumentation (Embodiment 6), wherein the heater from one in the Barrier fluid protruding in Walkerlampe consists.
  • Embodiment 8 provides a self-disinfecting odor trap the shape of a common bottle siphon in minimal instrumentation wherein the siphon body is made of material permeable to light radiation is made and the heating by an outside of the odor trap attached heating lamp takes place.
