Abstract

Das Hochdruckfluid wird in einer Hochdruck-Fördereinrichtung (4) erzeugt, die eine Antriebseinheit (7) und eine von dieser angetriebene Fördereinheit (3) aufweist. Die Antriebseinheit (7) ist an eine Niederdruck-Fluidleitung (1) angeschlossen, und zwar einlaßseitig stromab und auslaßseitig stromauf einer in der Niederdruck-Fluidleitung (1) arbeitenden Niederdruck-Fördereinrichtung (9). Auch die Fördereinheit (3) der Hochdruck-Fördereinrichtung (4) ist einlaßseitig an die Niederdruck-Fluidleitung (1) angeschlossen, und zwar stromab der Niederdruck-Fördereinrichtung (9). Auslaßseitig liefert die Fördereinheit (3) das Hochdruckfluid. Es wird also das über der Niederdruck-Fördereinrichtung (9) zur Verfügung stehende Druckgefälle genutzt, um in einfacher und energetisch günstiger Weise das Hochdruckfluid zu erzeugen.

Figure 00000001
The high-pressure fluid is produced in a high-pressure conveyor (4) which has a drive unit (7) and a conveyor unit (3) driven by it. The drive unit (7) is connected to a low-pressure fluid line (1), namely upstream and downstream of the outlet side in the low-pressure fluid line (1) working low-pressure conveyor (9). Also, the feed unit (3) of the high pressure conveyor (4) is connected to the inlet side of the low pressure fluid line (1), downstream of the low pressure conveyor (9). On the outlet side, the delivery unit (3) supplies the high-pressure fluid. Thus, the pressure gradient available over the low-pressure delivery device (9) is used in order to produce the high-pressure fluid in a simple and energetically favorable manner.
