Definitions
- This disclosure relates to a rainwater treatment device configured to removably receive a cartridge with a substrate for treating a fluid such as rainwater.
- rainwater treatment devices which are designed to be mounted and used underground.
- a rainwater treatment device receives a filter cartridge including a filter substrate in a cartridge accommodation space.
- the substrate is configured to treat rainwater, e.g., for filtering substances such as metallic particles out of the rainwater.
- This device is particularly useful near roads, where metal contaminations occur, e.g., due to vehicle breaking and/or drainage of building roofs containing metal.
- the filtered water is fed back into the environment, for example, into the groundwater, or into a river or a lake.
- the cartridge may be provided with a plurality of sidewall openings through which rainwater can enter.
- the cartridge accommodation space of the device is designed such that, upon receiving a cartridge, a space remains between the cartridge side wall and the accommodation space side wall. Rainwater thus enters said space and flows into the cartridge through the sidewall openings. This enables a large rainwater throughput.
- the space between a cartridge and the accommodation space side wall constantly fills up with new rainwater. Consequently, rainwater enters the cartridge through all of the cartridge sidewall openings.
- US 2015/0183659 A1 discloses partitioned water treatment systems that possess a plurality of chambers and vertical filtration units, and are operative to control and filter surface runoff water. Such systems are typically placed inline with surface runoff water conveyance system infrastructure, such as pipes, channels and water storage units.
- FR 2957616 A1 discloses a tank that has an inlet for water to be treated.
- a water processing unit is arranged at an internal part of the tank.
- the water processing unit comprises an open coalescence case that is subdivided by a separation partition in two compartments.
- a first siphon is defined between an opening of a bent supply pipe and an upper end of a partition of a box.
- a second siphon is defined between the upper end of the partition of the box and an outlet of the tank.
- the supply pipe and the case are made of synthetic material.
- GB 560,333 B discloses a trap, for separating oil, petrol, or grease from water, of the kind comprising a trap body or casing closed by a readily removable lid and divided by a vertical partition extending upwardly from near the bottom to or near to the top of the trap, into a separating chamber and an outlet chamber, such partitions at or near the top of the trap body permitting equalization of pressure in said chambers, wherein there is provided in the separating chamber a seat for supporting a removable foraminous cage or basket containing filtering material, such seat consisting of a frame with the portion thereof opposing the vertical partition spaced therefrom and the remainder lying against the respective walls of the separating chamber, and a vertically disposed overflow plate spaced from the said partition and extending upwardly from the portion of the seat spaced from said partition to above the normal liquid level in the trap, the overflow plate normally operating with said seat to cause liquid received in the separating chamber and flowing to the trap outlet to pass through the filtering material in the cage, but in the event of the filter becoming choked
- a rainwater treatment device in accordance with the present invention is defined by claim 1.
- Dependent claims relate to preferred embodiments.
- the rainwater treatment device comprises a fluid inlet, a fluid outlet, a cartridge accommodation space for removably receiving a cartridge including a substrate for treating rainwater, a fluid receiving space for receiving fluid flowing out of the accommodation space, the fluid receiving space being fluidly connected to the fluid outlet by a drainage fluid path, and an overflow damming element provided in the drainage flow path and/or the fluid receiving space for damming up fluid in the fluid receiving space and the accommodation space and for reducing fluid throughput in the drainage flow path towards the fluid outlet for as long as the overflow damming element does not overflow.
- the overflow damming element is provided in the drainage flow path.
- the overflow damming element comprises at least one opening allowing fluid to pass the overflow damming element in the direction of the fluid outlet also when the overflow damming element does not overflow. There can thus be fluid throughput also when the overflow damming element is not overflowing.
- a cartridge is not necessarily hindered from running dry.
- the overflow damming element is welded to the fluid receiving space and/or the drainage flow path by at least one weld, and the weld is leaky.
- the damming element may be a curved or straight wall (or partially curved and partially straight).
- the wall may be welded to the bottom of the fluid receiving space and/or the drainage flow path.
- Making the weld "incomplete" such that the weld is leaky is an especially efficient way of ensuring that some fluid may always pass the damming element.
- the leaky weld thus promotes that the accommodation space and, hence, a received cartridge runs dry when no new fluid enters the device.
- the combination of the leaky weld with a wall as a fluid damming element is particularly advantageous.
- the device may comprise one or several overflow damming elements.
- a fluid e.g., rainwater
- a fluid entering the device through the fluid inlet is (possibly, after having passed one or several other treatment stages) led into a cartridge received in the accommodation space.
- the rainwater is treated (e.g., filtered in the cartridge) and then flows out of the cartridge (out of the accommodation space). The rainwater then flows into the fluid receiving space.
- At least the part of the fluid receiving space may be provided below the cartridge accommodation space.
- the term "below” makes reference to the direction of gravity when the rainwater treatment device is positioned/oriented so as to be in use. Fluid flows from the fluid receiving space through the drainage flow path to the fluid outlet.
- the overflow damming element dams up fluid in (at least a part of) the fluid receiving space and/or in the accommodation space.
- fluid first dams up in the fluid receiving space and then additionally also in the accommodation space.
- fluid is, hence, dammed up in the cartridge.
- the cartridge is therefore wet more homogenously.
- different parts of the substrate(s) are wet for similar periods of time. This is true both when the fluid throughput is high (e.g., during periods of heavy rainfall) and when the fluid throughput is low (e.g., during periods of low rainfall).
- As rainwater is dammed up in the accommodation space water may fill a space between a received cartridge and the accommodation space, also when the water throughput is low. Consequently, rainwater enters through a large number of or all of a plurality of openings in the sidewall of the cartridge, also when the rainwater throughput is low.
- the overflow damming element is configured to reduce the fluid throughput in the drainage flow path towards the fluid outlet for as long as the overflow damming element does not overflow. When it overflows, the throughput is no longer (or at least to a lesser degree) reduced so that the damming up of fluid is not excessive.
- the reduction of the fluid throughput in the drainage flow path is defined as a reduction relative to the fluid throughput in the drainage flow path towards the fluid outlet when the damming element overflows.
- the reduction of fluid throughput for as long as the damming element does not overflow may be a reduction to zero. However, preferably, the reduction is not absolute also when there is no overflow. In other words, according to the present invention, the damming element allows some fluid throughput also before overflowing. Thus, the accommodation space (and thus also a received cartridge) run (s) dry.
- the device according to the present invention promotes a more homogeneous use of cartridges (and of the substrates therein, in particular) irrespective of the level of fluid throughput. Costs are therefore saved as cartridges need to exchanged less frequently. The life span of cartridges is maximized as the device may ensure that the accommodation space and received cartridges run dry irrespective of the level of fluid throughput.
- the overflow damming element comprises a wall of another type of baffle. That said, that damming element may also consist of one or more walls and/or one or several other types of baffles.
- the damming element when the damming element is a wall, it may reduce fluid throughput in the drainage flow path towards the fluid outlet for as long as the water level does not exceed the height of the wall (i.e., before the wall overflows). When the wall overflows with fluid, the fluid throughput is no longer "reduced".
- the implementation of the damming element with a wall is especially advantageous due to the simplicity of the construction.
- the provision of a wall in the drainage flow path may be effected cost-efficiently.
- the wall may be welded to the drainage flow path. This is simpler than, e.g., a complex construction of drainage system using different pipes etc.
- the damming element in the form of a wall also requires less space.
- the overflow damming wall is particularly useful for a rainwater treatment device of compact build.
- the overflow damming element consists of a curved or straight wall portion.
- the shape may conform to the shape of an adjacent wall part of the cartridge accommodation space and/or another constituent of the rainwater treatment device. This is especially advantageous when the accommodation space has an at least partially cylindrical shape. The latter is, e.g., the case when cylindrical cartridges are used.
- the wall portion preferably has a height which lies in a range of 50% to 100% of the height of the type of cartridge which the accommodation space is configured to receive.
- the height of the wall portion lies in a range of 50 to 100% of the height of a side wall of the cartridge accommodation space. The mentioned heights may aid in ensuring an adequate amount of reduction of fluid throughput in the drainage flow path.
- the opening of the overflow damming element is a leak allowing fluid to pass the overflowing damming element in the direction of the fluid outlet also when the fluid damming element does not overflow. This way, it is ensured that the fluid throughput is not zero also when the damming element does not overflow. Thus, it is a cartridge is not hindered from running dry.
- the opening and/or leak may be formed in a lower portion of the damming element, preferably at the bottom thereof ("bottom” referring to the direction of gravity when the device is oriented in the position for use).
- the opening and/or leak is arranged at or adjacent to the bottom of the fluid receiving space.
- the opening is provided by a weld which is leaky.
- the amount of fluid remaining in the fluid receiving space and/or the accommodation space when there is there is no more fluid throughput is reduced to zero or at least minimized. Moisture problems are, hence, avoided or minimized.
- the rainwater treatment device comprises a substrate cartridge including a substrate for treating rainwater.
- the cartridge is removably mountable in the accommodation space.
- the cartridge preferably comprises openings for letting fluid enter the cartridge in a side wall.
- the cartridge does not comprise any openings for letting fluid enter in a top wall. Therefore, fluid preferably enters the cartridge from the plurality of openings in the side wall.
- the cartridge is received in the accommodation space and a fluid inflow space is formed between a side wall of the accommodation space and the cartridge for letting a fluid flow from the fluid inflow space into the cartridge laterally.
- the rainwater treatment device preferably comprises a sediment settling space which is separate from the cartridge accommodation space and the fluid receiving space.
- the sedimentation treatment preferably does not (or at least primarily does not) occur in the accommodation space and/or the fluid receiving space and/or the drainage flow path.
- the rainwater treatment device may have a modular construction comprising separable modules. This increases the versatility of the device and allows changing the relative orientation of components. This simplifies connection with other elements, etc.
- the device comprises an inflow module.
- the inflow module is provided with the inlet of the device and is axially rotatable with respect to at least one other module.
- the inlet is preferably oriented in a lateral direction with respect to a central axis of at least one (preferably at least partially cylindrically shaped) further module.
- the inflow module may be axially rotated so as to orient the inlet so as to conform to the surrounding (e.g., the orientation of a part to be connected to the inlet) in which the assembly is used/installed.
- the device comprises a treatment module including the accommodation space, the fluid receiving space, and at least a part of the drainage flow path (preferably the entire drainage flow path).
- the treatment module also comprises the fluid outlet of the device.
- the rainwater treatment device comprises a settling module including a sediment settling space (preferably, a settling space as described above).
- the sediment settling space may be provided at the floor of a shaft/manhole part of the device.
- the substrate cartridge is at least partially cylindrically shaped and comprises a centrally located hollow space connected to the bottom of the substrate cartridge.
- the space being "hollow” in this context means that no substrate is provided in said space. Fluid can be drained out of the cartridge through the hollow space.
- the bottom of the substrate cartridge comprises perforations. These perforations are preferably located around the central hollow space.
- the at least one substrate comprises a filter material, preferably selected from the group consisting of iron oxide hydrate, active carbon and/or zeolite, or any combination thereof.
- a filter material preferably selected from the group consisting of iron oxide hydrate, active carbon and/or zeolite, or any combination thereof.
- the cartridge prefferably be separately exchangeable/replaceable. In other words, it is preferable if an old cartridge is removable from the device and replaceable with a new one. A worn cartridge may, hence, be removed from the accommodation space and replaced with a new one.
- the device comprises a cartridge
- the cartridge comprises at least one opening in a side surface through which fluid can enter from the accommodation space when the cartridge is received in the accommodation space.
- the cartridge may contain a single substrate but preferably it comprises two or more substrates.
- the substrate(s) is/are configured to filter filterable substances in the fluid such as mineral hydrocarbons, and/or dissolved metallic particles, especially dissolved heavy metals.
- an exit is located in a lower part of the cartridge. More preferably, the exit is located at a lower end of the cartridge. The exit may be provided in a bottom surface of the cartridge.
- upper and lower used when referring to the upper and lower parts/ends of the cartridge and the term “top” (e.g., in “top entrance”) pertain to the cartridge's orientation when the rainwater treatment device is brought into its operating position. Put differently, the terms pertain to the orientation when gravity pulls (substantially) in the direction from the upper part / top towards the lower part / bottom of the device.
- the device is, hence, configured so as to be oriented such that a fluid flows into the cartridge at an upper position and flows out of the cartridge at a lower position under the influence of gravity.
- the accommodation space and the cartridge are both at least partially cylindrically shaped.
- the inflow space between the cylindrically shaped circumferential inner sidewall of the accommodation space and the cylindrically shaped outer circumferential wall of the cartridge has a width of 20-30mm, and more preferably of 24-26mm.

- the rainwater treatment device 1 is configured to treat, and especially to filter, a fluid such as rainwater.
- the device 1 comprises a fluid inlet 11 through which rainwater can enter as well as an outlet 12 through which treated (filtered) rainwater can exit.
- the embodiment of a rainwater treatment device 1 of Fig. 1A is configured to be installed as underground. It can be used for filtering contaminating substances such as metallic particles out of rainwater and/or (e.g.) to filter sand and one or several types of oils.
- the rainwater treatment device 1 has a modular construction comprising separable modules. This embodiment has five separable modules.

- the inflow module 101 may be an integral part (i.e., made of one piece) or it may be made of separate parts, e.g., an inlet pipe and a cone.
- the modules 101, 102, 103, 104, and 105 are axially rotatable with respect to one another around a central longitudinal axis of the device 1. By rotating the inflow module 101, for example, the inlet 11 can be oriented differently in order to adapt the device 1 for a particular use according to the given surrounding.

- the present disclosure is not limited to devices with two accommodation spaces 20.
- Other embodiments may merely comprise a single accommodation space 20 or several accommodation spaces 20.
- FIG. 4B The perspective view of the rainwater treatment device 1 of Fig. 4B is cut open along a plane extending in the top-bottom direction (such that gravity points in the vertical direction in the image plane) so that the inside of the device 1 is revealed.
- Fig. 4B shows a cartridge 30 beings accommodated in each of the cartridge accommodation spaces 20.
- the accommodation spaces 20 of this embodiment are cylindrically shaped.
- the substrate cartridges 30 are substantially cylindrically shaped (see Fig. 1C) and they comprise a centrally located hollow space 31 that is connected to a bottom 32 of the respective substrate cartridge 30.
- Fig. 4B also shows a fluid damming element 40 in the form of a curved wall.
- the wall in fact comprises a shape which conforms to both of the adjacent accommodation spaces 20 (shown in the left and the right parts of Fig. 4B , respectively).
- the curved wall 40 also comprises small openings formed as bores (not shown in Fig. 4B ) for letting a fluid pass the wall 40 also when it does not (yet) overflow.
- the accommodation space 20 comprises an inner circumferential sidewall 21 (see Fig. 4A ) having a slightly larger diameter than the diameter of the inserted cartridge 30.
- the space in-between is an inflow space 70 (see Fig. 4A ) which can fill up with a fluid such as rainwater and via which the rainwater can enter the cartridge 30 from the side. As the water throughput becomes higher, the inflow space 70 increasingly fills up so that rainwater enters the cartridge 30 from increasingly higher positions.
