Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for guiding air on an underground water network extending in the area. Ventilation of the pipeline network is required during initial or renewed commissioning and during operation to protect downstream valves and connected devices against defects and to guarantee their operational safety. Aeration of the water supply network is appropriate for preventing massive damage, namely in the event of a disaster - in the event of a major leak or breakage in the pipeline network - or if the pipeline network is intentionally emptied, as a result of which a negative pressure with the risk of line implosion would arise with respect to the atmosphere.
  • venting of the underground, underground water supply network is usually carried out at first or re-commissioning by opening the nearby hydrant hydrant.
  • ventilation devices eg from Hawle Armaturen GmbH, D-83395 Freilassing / Germany, are known (see their homepage under www.hawle.de/ products / valves and valves for cleaning valves. These equipment already cause considerable purchase and installation costs. Accommodation is usually in underground shafts. In addition to the additional maintenance, the devices are also not optimal from a hygienic standpoint, since when airing the power network hardly clean air is sucked.
  • Above-ground manholes eliminate the hygiene problem, however, such manholes for accessibility to the maintenance of the equipment are voluminous to dimension and represent an obstacle in the spatial planning. Therefore, installations with shafts extending to above-ground only in small numbers, usually near reservoirs or other high points.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a technically and hygienically improved and more cost-effective device for guiding air on an underground already existing or newly designed water supply network.
  • the air control system comprises at least venting the water supply network.
  • a further configured device should also allow air guidance in the opposite direction of flow, namely for ventilation of the water supply network.
  • the device designed for guiding the air of an underground water supply network has a hydrant-integrated air duct assembly, which is intended for the automatic discharge of air into the atmosphere through the hydrant of the dammed air supplied to it from the water supply network.
  • the air guide assembly is on the one hand rigidly connected to the closing body and the other rigidly connected to a particular valve body for actuating the closing body.
  • the float is provided with a seal for closing the inner mouth of the third flow passage.
  • the secondary part fits sealed into the second flow passage of the primary part.
  • the chamber has a cylindrical chamber jacket with an inner surface. Between the inner surface of the chamber shell and the float guided in the chamber remains a flow gap.
  • the float has external elements which serve to guide the float in the chamber while maintaining the flow gap.
  • the secondary part of the air valve has first support elements which serve to guide the chamber and to position it on the float, and second abutment elements are provided on the secondary part for positioning in the second flow passage.
  • the air guide assembly has a floating buoyant body designed to ascend water accumulating in the lower riser and to block entry into the breakthrough to prevent such water from entering the conduit network.
  • the hydrant is installed in the aqueduct, with respect to the normal zero, preferably at an elevated level, which fills and collects air from the water mains.
  • the device with the air guide assembly can be retrofitted to an existing hydrant.
  • the integrated hydrant air duct assembly is, in addition to the automatic air flow into the atmosphere through the hydrant of this from the water supply network accumulated air, also intended for automatic air flow from the atmosphere through the hydrant into the water network at low pressure occurring in the water network.
  • the first support elements have centrally projecting towards the float projecting lugs, which engage in a diameter constriction on the float.
  • the diameter constriction ends at the top of a radially projecting annular shoulder, which acts as a suspension with sunken float.
  • the secondary part has an annular gap lying above the annular shoulder and distributed over the circumference in sections, which serves as a filter in order to retain impurities.
  • the hydrant 9 - in the example shown, a conventional Matterflurhydrant - has the top of the top tube 91 , which extends above the earth level E in height.
  • the attachment tube 91 has the usual components, such as cap and hose connection 910, at which the opening 911 opens to the water outlet. When not in use, the hose fitting 910 and opening 911 are usually protected with an attachable cover 912 .
  • a spindle extension 84 is further accessible for actuating the end body 7 with its valve function.
  • the upper riser 92 joins, in which the known components, such as spindle bearings 83 , spindle 82 and spindle nut 81 are arranged.
  • the valve rod 8 extends downward.
  • the upper riser 92 inserted telescopically height adjustable in the lower riser 93 to adjust the hydrant 9 to the given at the respective location grave depth G , which is the distance between the earth level E and the lower edge of the means connected by the screw ring 95 on the inlet bend 94 supply line 96 is defined.
  • the principle of such a height-adjustable hydrant is the subject of EP 0 717 156 B1 ,
  • the supply line 96 leads to the water network 97 .

  • the secondary part 165 of the air valve 16 has first support elements 166, which serve to guide the chamber 10 and the positioning on the float 15 .
  • second support elements 167 are provided for positioning in the second flow passage 162 .
  • the air guide assembly 1 is on the one hand rigidly connected to the closing body 7 and on the other hand rigidly connected to the valve body 8 intended for actuating the closing body 7 .
  • the opening 911 on the hose connection 910 on the attachment tube 91 is preferably provided with a sieve and / or filter.

From here, the air volume 12 passes through the opening 161 in the primary part 160 in the upper riser 92 to the opening 911 on the hydrant 9 to flow into the atmosphere. Eventually by the third Flow passage 168 spraying spray water flows through the lower riser 93 to the drainage opening 77 and exits into the soil.

  • FIGS. 6A to 8B normal state
  • the air guide assembly 1 is shown unsealed and sealed in the second to fourth variant , starting from the ongoing operation of the line network 97 (s. Figures 1C-1F ).
  • the closing body 7 is in the closed valve position and the air guide assembly 1 in the normal state, ie there is no automatic operating ventilation of the line network 97 (s. Figures 4A-4D ).
