- a water hammer is frequently used in hydraulic rams, water lifting equipments applied to supply water when water supply exceeds water demand and the lifting equipment may be installed below the source of water.
- the efficiency of a hydraulic ram is only from 0.2 to 0.4, its major advantage is an ability to use free water energy.

- the air compartment has a reverse air intake valve and is hosed via a reversal valve to a pressurized air supply pipe.
- the water compartment is connected with a water supply pipe.
- the aforementioned air compressor converts kinetic energy of a water flow into pressurized air energy and allows a more efficient use of potential and kinetic water energy since its operation is based on the use of additional kinetic energy of water obtained in a place of a water level alteration.
- a deficiency of the compressor is insufficient use of water's kinetic energy as only a portion of the constant water flow in the water supply pipe is used to generate energy of pressurized air. The remaining part of the water flow is simply flushed down.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention is designed for air compressors driven by a periodically induced water hammer.
A water hammer is frequently used in hydraulic rams, water lifting equipments applied to supply water when water supply exceeds water demand and the lifting equipment may be installed below the source of water. Although the efficiency of a hydraulic ram is only from 0.2 to 0.4, its major advantage is an ability to use free water energy. -
SU 1652674 - The aforementioned air compressor converts kinetic energy of a water flow into pressurized air energy and allows a more efficient use of potential and kinetic water energy since its operation is based on the use of additional kinetic energy of water obtained in a place of a water level alteration. A deficiency of the compressor is insufficient use of water's kinetic energy as only a portion of the constant water flow in the water supply pipe is used to generate energy of pressurized air. The remaining part of the water flow is simply flushed down.
-
RU 2239102 - The major deficiency of this compressor is that it is designed only to lift water and cannot be used as an independent source of pressurized air which can be applied for various purposes. Besides, it is difficult to adjust its optimal operational mode as it is impossible to control air pressure level and duration. Water supply is used inefficiently - it is simply let out into surrounding environment.
- The objective of the invention is to expand the range of application of the water hammer driven air compressor and maximize utilization of kinetic water energy by converting it into pressurized air energy with minimal waste of water.
- According to the present invention there is provided a water hammer driven air compressor having two water intake pipes with impact valves connected to a water reservoir and two air reservoirs with water intake and outlet valves one of which is connected to an air intake pipe, the air reservoirs have air intake valves, the water outlet valves of its reservoirs and are controlled by the air pressure in the air reservoirs and the second air reservoir is connected to an air supply pipe which may be coupled with an air receiver.
- The water outlet valves in the air reservoirs are connected via a unit of levers, a pneumatic cylinder and a pneumatic throttle with an air pressure valve.
- The air reservoirs are connected via water outlet valves to an outlet pipe which can be connected to a hydraulic ram feeding the used water back to the water reservoir. The hydraulic ram has a water supply pipe with an impact valve, an air reservoir with a water intake valve and a water outlet valve connected via a unit of levers, a pneumatic cylinder and a pneumatic throttle with an air pressure valve and a pressure pipe connected to the water reservoir.
- The described water hammer driven compressor with or without hydraulic ram may comprise only the first level of a compressor unit. One of the water supply pipes of the first and each following level is connected to a following level of the compressor.
- The layout of the invention is given in the attached drawing.
- The water hammer driven air compressor comprises water supply pipes 1 and 2 with a swinging impact valve 3 connected to a supply pipe 4 coupled with a water reservoir 5 and air reservoirs 6 and 7 with water intake 8 and
outlet 9 valves andair intake valves 10. The air reservoirs 6 and 7 are connected viaair pressure valves 11 and anair supply pipe 12 to anair receiver 13. Thewater outlet valves 9 are connected via a unit of levers 14, apneumatic cylinder 15 and apneumatic throttle 16 to anair pressure valve 17. The impact valve 3 is connected via apneumatic cylinder 18 to anair pressure valve 19. Adrain 20 is installed below thewater outlet pipes 9. The air reservoirs 6 and 7 are arranged to each other at the distance "L" which is fixed depending on the speed of the water flow in supply pipes 1 and 2. - The water hammer driven compressor may be assembled with a hydraulic ram connected to the
drain 20. The hydraulic ram has awater supply pipe 21 with a swingingimpact valve 22 connected to thedrain 20, anair reservoir 23 with awater intake valve 24 and awater outlet valve 25 connected via a unit oflevers 26, apneumatic cylinder 27 and apneumatic throttle 28 with anair pressure valve 30 and a pressure pipe connected to the water reservoir 5. - The described water hammer driven compressor may be used as the first level of a compressor unit. In this case, the
pipe 31 makes a supply pipe for the following level (absent in the drawing) of the compressor unit. - Water hammer driven air compressor operates as follows.
- On an immediate turn of the impact valve 3 opened by the spring of the
pneumatic cylinder 18, water from the water reservoir 5 flows via the feeding pipe 4 and the supply pipe 1 towards the C. The pressurized water flow in the supply pipe 1 opens the water intake valve 8 and fills a part of reservoir 6 and enhances air pressure in it. The pressurized air via thepressure valve 17, thepneumatic throttle 16, thepneumatic cylinder 15 and the unit of levers 14 immediately turns the impact valve 3 and closes the water flow to the supply pipe 1 thus inducing a water hammer in it. The air compressed by water in the reservoir 6 is driven via thepressure valve 11 and through theair supply pipe 12 to theair receiver 13 connected to a number of recipients. At the same time, the compressed air passes via thepressure valve 17, thepneumatic throttle 16 with a controlled delay into thepneumatic cylinder 15 which via the unit oflevers 15 opens thewater outlet valve 9 and the water from the reservoir 6 passes to thedrain 20. The air passes via theintake valve 10 into the air reservoir 6 and sets it for a subsequent cycle. - As the impact valve 3 keeps the supply pipe 1 closed, the water from the feeding pipe 4 flows trough the supply pipe 2 towards the air reservoir 7 until the flow rate achieves the value at which the impact valve 3 immediately turns and closes the pipe 2 inducing a water hammer in it. As the pressure increases, the water opens the water intake valve 8 of the reservoir 7 and fills a part of the reservoir 7. The air compressed by water in the reservoir 7 is driven via the
pressure valve 11 and through theair supply pipe 12 to theair receiver 13. At the same time the compressed air from the reservoir 7 passes with a controlled delay via thepressure valve 17, thethrottle 16 to thepneumatic cylinder 15 which via the unit oflevers 15 opens thewater outlet valve 9 and the water from the reservoir 7 flows into thedrain 20. - If the
drain 20 is coupled with a hydraulic ram, on an immediate turn of theimpact valve 22 opened by the spring of thepneumatic cylinder 18 of theair reservoir 23, water from thedrain 20 functioning now as a feeding pipe flows via thesupply pipe 21 towards theair reservoir 23. The pressure of the water flow in thefeeding pipe 21 opens theintake valve 24 and the water fills a part of thereservoir 23 and advances air pressure in it which via thepressure valve 29, thepneumatic throttle 28, thepneumatic cylinder 27 and the unit oflevers 26 immediately turns theimpact valve 22 and closes water flow into thefeeding pipe 21 inducing at the same time a water hammer in it. The compressed air passes via thepressure valve 29, thepneumatic throttle 28 into thepneumatic cylinder 27 which via the unit oflevers 26 opens thewater outlet valve 26 and the water from thereservoir 23 passes to thedrain 20 and flows back to the reservoir 5.
