Definitions
- the invention relates generally to a system for delivering a fluid.
- the invention relates more particularly to a pumping system which ensures the delivery of a fluid, such as water, from a low altitude area to a higher altitude area.
- the principle of a hydraulic ram is based on the use of a phenomenon called "water hammer" which corresponds to an overpressure created when a fluid flowing in a column at a certain speed, is suddenly interrupted by a valve.
- the overpressure allows a certain quantity of fluid to rise much higher than the height of the initial column.
- such a hydromechanical pump 1000 comprises a motor chamber 280 inside which slides a motor piston 220.
- the motor piston 220 is integral with a central shaft 340 which extends in a first multiplier chamber 300 and in a second multiplier chamber 320 arranged on either side of the motor chamber 280.

- the introduction of pressurized fluid into the engine chamber 280 by the network of intake and discharge ducts 520, 540, 560, 680, 600, 620 causes the sliding of the engine piston 220 in the engine chamber 1080, 280 and therefore of the central shaft 340 in the multiplier chambers 300, 360.
- the sliding of the central shaft 340 in the multiplier chambers 300, 360 ensures the compression of the fluid present inside one of the multiplier chambers 300, 360 which causes the discharge of the pressurized fluid through the outlet 360, 380 of said multiplier chamber 300, 360.
- the distribution carriage 340, 460, 480, 500 of the distribution chamber 200 is set in motion by actuators which are controlled by mechanical or hydraulic devices, by feedback depending on the position of the motor piston 220 in the motor chamber 280.
- the setting in motion of the distribution 340, 460, 480, 500 in the distribution chamber 200 ensures the reversal of the direction of circulation of the pressurized fluid in the motor chamber 280.

- Figure 4 is a sectional view of a pumping system according to a second embodiment
- Figure 5 is a view along arrow V shown in Figure 4.
- Figure 6 is a schematic view of a delivery installation comprising the pumping system of the invention.
- the pumping system 1, 1a of the invention finds particular application in the field of the delivery of a fluid such as water, using the motive energy of a static or dynamic manometric column.
- the pumping system 1, 1 a thus makes it possible to discharge this fluid from an area located at low altitude, called the low point, to an area at higher altitude, called the high point.
- the pumping system 1, 1a is thus driven by renewable energy.
- the pumping system 1, 1 a can also be integrated into a discharge installation 128 specially adapted to a river or river FL at low current speed.
- the term “pump” will denote the pumping system 1, 1 a of the invention.
- delivery fluid will also denote a fluid circulating in this pump 1, 1 a and which is intended to be discharged towards the high point.
- the term “operating fluid” will denote a fluid circulating in the pump 1, 1 a to enable it to be actuated, but this operating fluid is not intended to be delivered by the pump 1, 1 a to the point high.
- the pump 1 comprises a drive chamber 2, preferably of generally cylindrical shape, extending along a longitudinal axis X.
- This drive chamber 2 is closed at these axial ends by closing elements of the flange type 22, 23.
- these two flanges 22, 23 are curved to better withstand the pressures exerted by the operating fluid moving in the driving chamber 2.
- the driving chamber 2 is thus formed of a cylindrical wall 15, the ends of which are closed by the curved walls 22, 23.
- the driving chamber 2 is also made of a metallic or composite material designed to withstand fluid pressures at least equal to three times the pressure of the pressure column.
- annular flanges 160 - 163 are interconnected by annular flanges 160 - 163.
- annular flanges 160 - 163 are shown in Figure 2: two flanges 160, 163 respectively secured to the ends of circular section of the curved flanges 22, 23 and two flanges 161, 162 respectively secured to the opposite ends of the cylindrical part 15.
- the annular flanges 160 - 163 are made of furthermore connected to each other by means of tie rods 17 connecting the opposite flanges 160 - 163 of the cylindrical part 15 of the driving chamber 2.
- these tie rods 17 are made of metallic material.
- the driving chamber 2 comprises first and second inputs E1, E2 of operating fluid opposite relative to a transverse axis Y, as well as first and second outputs S1, S2 of operating fluid opposite relative to the transverse axis Y.
- These inputs E1, E2 and outputs S1, S2 are provided in the cylindrical wall 15 of the enclosure 2.
- the inputs E1, E2 and the outputs S1, S2 are respectively provided on opposite edges of the motor enclosure 2 with respect to the longitudinal axis X.
- the pump 1 comprises a motor piston 13 positioned inside the motor enclosure 2 and configured to slide therein along the longitudinal axis X between first and second end positions P1, P2 under the action of the operating fluid under pressure.
- the drive piston 13 thus separates the drive chamber 2 into a first 3 and a second 4 drive chamber, the first and second operating fluid inlets E1, E2 opening respectively into the first and second drive chambers 3, 4, while the operating fluid is discharged from the first and second drive chambers 3, 4 respectively by the second and first fluid outlets S2, S1.
- the static manometric column is the water column whose height is expressed by the difference between the altitude at which the fluid inlets E1, E2 are fluidly connected by at least a first duct (reference 129 in the figure 6) and the altitude at which the fluid outlets e S1, S2 are fluidly connected by at least one second duct (reference 130 in FIG. 6).
- the second duct 130 is connected to water located in a low altitude zone while the first duct is connected to water located at a higher altitude, this difference in altitude having to be sufficient to generate a column of water capable of setting the motor piston 13 in motion.
- a static manometric column is particularly feasible in mountainous rivers, which flow along steep slopes.
- An advantage of the pump 1, 1 a of the invention lies in particular in the possibility of adapting the height of the pressure column (static or dynamic) according to the desired operating fluid pressure.
- the movement of the motor piston 13 towards its first end position P1 or its second end position P2 depends on the operating fluid distribution cycle circulating in the motor enclosure 2.
- the operating fluid circulates in the driving chamber 2 from the first fluid inlet E1 opening into the first driving chamber 3, and is discharged through the first fluid outlet S1 from the second drive chamber 4.
- the drive piston 13 Under the pressure of the operating fluid during this first distribution cycle, the drive piston 13 then moves towards its second end position P2.
- the operating fluid circulates in the driving chamber 2 from the second fluid inlet E2 opening into the second driving chamber 4, and is discharged through the second fluid outlet S2 from the first chamber drive 3. Under the pressure of the operating fluid during this second distribution cycle, the drive piston 13 then moves towards its first end position P1.
- a seal (not shown), for example made of polytetrafluoroethylene, is mounted around the driving piston 13 so as to prevent the passage of the operating fluid from one driving chamber to the other 3, 4.
- the pump comprises a first and a second multiplier chambers 5, 6 arranged on either side of the drive chamber 2 coaxially with the latter.
- Each drive chamber 5, 6 is therefore integral with the curved flange considered 22, 23 by means of a flange 18, 20.
- the first multiplier chamber 5 is adjacent to the first drive chamber 3, while the second multiplier chamber 6 is adjacent to the second drive chamber 4.
- the multiplier chambers 5, 6 are cylindrical.
- Each multiplier chamber 5, 6 comprises a multiplier piston 52, 62 configured to slide in said chamber along its longitudinal axis, that is to say along the longitudinal axis X.
- the multiplier piston of each multiplier chamber 5, 6 is integral with the end of a shaft 12, 12 ', which shaft is connected in a non-rigid manner by its end opposite to the motor piston 13, for example via a flexible connection or a cardan joint 14, 14'.
- the flanges 18, 20 securing the multiplier chambers 5, 6 to the motor enclosure 2, as well as the end wall 54, 64 of each multiplier chamber 5, 6 integral with the considered flange 18, 20, are drilled for the passage respective shafts 12, 12 '.
- the bores of the flanges 18, 20 and considered end walls of multiplier chambers 5, 6 each comprise a sealed bearing (not shown) formed around the shaft in question 12, 12 ', to prevent fluid leaks between the motor enclosure 2 and multiplier chambers 5, 6.
- a seal (not shown), for example made of polytetrafluoroethylene, is mounted around each multiplier piston 52, 62 of the multiplier chambers 5, 6.
- the motor piston 13 being connected to the two shafts 12, 12 'respectively integral with the pistons 52, 62 of the first and second multiplier chambers 5, 6, this motor piston 13 subjected to the operating fluid pressure makes it possible to set in motion the multiplier pistons 5, 6 of the multiplier chambers 5, 6 to allow the delivery of water outside said multiplier chambers 5, 6, as will be specified later.
- the first multiplier chamber 5 comprises a first inlet 50 and a first outlet 51 for delivery fluid
- the second multiplier chamber 6 comprises a second inlet 60 and a second outlet 61 for delivery fluid.
- the first inlets 50, 60 of delivery fluid are preferably connected to the first conduit 129 allowing the admission of operating fluid into the driving chamber 2, but may also be connected to another source of fluid, in particular the effluents of a wastewater treatment plant connected to pump 1.
- the inlet 50, 60 and the outlet 51, 61 are preferably provided on the free end wall 53, 63 of the multiplier chamber considered 5, 6, to allow filling or the emptying of the part of the multiplier chamber 5, 6 between the piston 52, 62 and the end wall 53, 63.
- the inlets 50, 60 and outlets 51, 61 for the delivery fluid comprise check valves return, for example ball valves 55, 65.
- the area of the cross section of the multiplier chambers 5, 6 is less than the area of the cross section of the cylindrical wall 15 of the drive chamber 2. In this way, the pressure of delivery fluid at the outlet 51, 61 of each multiplier chamber 5, 6 is much higher than the operating fluid pressure exerted on the driving piston 13. It is this high fluid pressure at the outlet 51, 61 of the multiplier chambers 5 , 6 which allows the discharge of the fluid to a high point whose altitude is greater than that of the manometric column.
- the ratio between the two cross sections respectively of the multiplier chambers 5, 6 and of the motor enclosure 2 is chosen according to the desired application. For example, it is necessary to obtain a delivery fluid pressure of the order of 15 to 20 bars to enable the implementation of the membrane nanofiltration process, while a delivery fluid pressure included between 50 and 80 bars is necessary for the implementation of reverse osmosis processes.
- the dimensions of the drive chamber 2 and of the drive piston 13 will be chosen according to the gauge water column, and the ratio between the two sections will be chosen according to the desired application.
- account is taken, for this dimensioning, of the pressure losses caused by friction dissipating the mechanical energy of the moving fluid.
- account is taken of the preeminence of thrust that the engine piston 13 must have, to prevent the opposite force generated by the pushing or compression work generated by the multiplier pistons 52, 62 canceling the pushing force of the engine pison 13, and this in order to ultimately allow the sliding of said motor piston 13 in the motor enclosure 2.
- the design of the pumping system 1, 1 a of the invention can be adapted according to the desired manometric column, it is conceivable to design such a pump 1, 1 a of large size, allowing water production under pressure of several tens of thousands of cubic meters per day, representing the consumption of equivalent-inhabitants of an average city.

- the compression chamber 83, 93 comprises at least one exhaust port (references 121, 121 'in FIG. 3) forming a vent formed in the cylindrical wall of the chamber 83, 93 to allow the circulation of air between said chamber 83, 93 and the outside when the piston 84, 94 moves. This avoids creating an overpressure and a mechanical opposition to the movement of the piston 84, 94.
- the air outlets 81, 82 of the first trigger 8 are respectively connected to the first pneumatic inlets 101, 1 12 of the first and second activation members 10, 1 1.

- the motor piston 13 induces the movement of the rod 80, 90 towards its actuating position, the piston 83, 93, 84, 94 of the associated trigger 8, 9 is then moves to its trigger position.
- valves 70, 73 of the first inlet and outlet E1, S1 of the motor enclosure 2 are in their position. opening while the valves 71, 72 of the second input and output E2, S2 of the motor enclosure 2 are in their closed position.
- the operating fluid pressure in the driving chamber 2 then induces the movement of the driving piston 13 towards its second end position P2. Delivery fluid then leaves the second multiplier chamber 6.
- the alternate distribution device is then found in its second arrangement associated with the second operating fluid distribution cycle.
- the operating fluid pressure in the enclosure 2 then induces the displacement of the motor piston 13 towards its first end position P1. Delivery fluid then leaves the first multiplier chamber 5.
- the alternate distribution device is then found in its first arrangement associated with the first operating fluid distribution cycle, then the alternation of cycles begins again.
- the alternate distribution device is therefore operable between a first arrangement associated with the first fluid distribution cycle, and a second arrangement associated with the second fluid distribution cycle .
- the trigger 8, 9 comprises a parallelepipedal body 31, an end wall 310 of which is secured to the drive chamber 2 via the flange described above.
- this parallelepipedal body is directly bolted 32 on the flange 22, 23 of the drive enclosure 2.
- the flange 22, 23 or the flange include a bore to allow the passage of the rod 80 , 90 in the motor enclosure 2.
- a first free end of the rod comprises a flange 42 intended to come into contact with the motor piston 13.
- the rod 80, 90 comprises a means return 44 to its rest position, which return means 44 is formed for example by a helical spring mounted around the rod 80, 90 coaxially and the ends of which bear against the flange 22, 23 respectively of the motor enclosure 2 and the shoulder surface formed by the collar 42.
- the rod 80, 90 comprises at its free end a guide 43 in the form of a plate which extends transversely to the axis of the rod 80, 90, on either side of the latter.
- the trigger 8, 9 comprises two plates 39, 39 "formed in the parallelepiped body 31 on either side of the rod 80, 90, parallel to the latter.
- Each plate 39, 39” thus comprises at least one longitudinal slot 42, 42 “formed between its ends 40, 41; 40 ’, 41’ to ensure the passage of the free ends of the guide 43 and allow the sliding of the rod 80, 90 between its rest and actuation positions.
- the two plates thus form guides 39, 39 ’.
- the first ends 40, 40 ’of the slideways are integral with the end wall 310 of the parallelepipedal body 31.
- the trigger 8, 9 comprises two unlocking elements 34, 34 'mounted movably to slide longitudinally in the parallelepipedic body 31, on either side of the rod 80, 90, between a rest position (shown in the figure 3) and an unlocking position.
- Each unlocking element 34, 34 ’ has a plate shape which is slidable between one of the longitudinal walls of the parallelepiped body 31 and one of the slides 39, 39’.
- Each unlocking element 34, 34 "further comprises a longitudinal slot 37, 37" to allow the passage of the free ends of the guide 43 and the longitudinal displacement of the rod 80, 90.
- the trigger 8, 9 comprises return means 38, 38 'of the unlocking elements 34, 34' in their rest position, that is to say away from the end wall of the parallelepipedal body 31 integral with the compression chamber 83, 93.
- return means 38, 38 ' are for example helical springs. In its unlocked position, the unlocking element 34, 34 ’is therefore closest to the aforementioned end wall because the spring 38, 38’ is in a compressed state.
- the guide 43 of the rod 80, 90 of the trigger 8, 9 is configured to move the unlocking elements 34, 34 'to their unlocked position. Indeed, when the rod 80, 90 moves towards its actuating position, the guide 43 exerts a pressure on the first free ends 35, 35 'of the respective unlocking elements 34, 34', inducing the movement of said unlocking elements 34, 34 'towards their unlocked position.
- the trigger 8, 9 further comprises a drive element 45 preferably of parallelepiped shape mounted around the rod 80, 90, in sliding contact with the slides 39, 39 ’.

- This element 45 is made of an anti-friction material of the polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) type, or even of metal covered with an anti-friction material.
- PTFE polytetrafluoroethylene
- the drive element 45 In the inactive position, the drive element 45 is pressed against the relevant flange 22, 23 of the drive chamber 2, or where appropriate against the flange connecting the trigger 8, 9 to the drive chamber 2. In the triggered position, the drive element 45 is in a position remote from the flange 22, 23 or from the aforementioned flange.
- the trigger 8, 9 comprises two pins 33, 33 'integral with the drive element 45 and extending longitudinally on either side of the rod 80, 90. These pins 33, 33' pass through through drilling formed in the guide 43 and in the end wall of the parallelepipedic body 31 to open into the compression chamber 83, 93 of the trigger 8, 9. The free ends of these pins 33, 33 ′ are integral with the pneumatic piston 84, 94 of the trigger 8, 9. The movement of the drive element 45 towards its trigger position therefore causes the movement of the pneumatic piston 84, 94 towards its trigger position.
- the trigger 8, 9 further comprises a return member 120 of the drive element 45 to its trigger position.
- This return member is, for example, a helical spring mounted around the rod 80, 90 in a coaxial manner and the ends of which are secured respectively to the drive element 45 and to the guide 43.
- the guide 43 exerts a tension on the return spring 120 which is then in relaxation and which tends to bring the element d 'drive 45 towards its trigger position.
- the trigger 8, 9 comprises indexing means 46 which will now be described with reference to FIG. 3.
- the indexing means 46 comprise at least two indexes 47, 47 'formed by tongues mounted to pivot about pivot points 49, 49' on a lateral face of the drive element 45, which face s' extends in a plane parallel to the transverse axis Y.
- Each index 47, 47 ' comprises a first free end 470, 470' facing the aforementioned lateral face, and a second free end 471, 471 's' away from the driving element 45 and extending in the direction of the slides 39, 39 '.
- first free ends 470, 470 'of the indexes 47, 47' are interconnected by a return member 100 of said indexes in a so-called spaced position (as shown in Figure 2): this return member 46, for example a spring, exerts a tension which brings the first free ends together
- a portion comprising the second free end 471, 471 ’of each index 47, 47’ is included in a housing provided in each slide 39, 39 ’.
- the second free end 471, 471 ’of each index 47, 47’ bears against a free end 41, 41 ’forming a stop of each slide 39, 39’.
- indexes 47, 47 are housed in the openings 37, 37 ’of the unlocking elements considered 34, 34’. In this way, in the spread position, the indexes 47, 47 ’block the drive element 45 in its inactive position.
- each second free end 471, 471 'of the indexes 47, 47' includes a bearing 48, 48 '.
- the slide stops 41, 41 'and the seconds free ends 36, 36 'of the unlocking elements also include bearings 410, 410', 420, 420 '.
- the driving piston 13 which moves to its second end position P2 moves the rod 90 of the second trigger 9 towards its trigger position.
- This induces the release of the indexes 47, 47 ’towards their approach position and the abrupt sliding of the driving element 45 towards its release position.
- the piston 94 of the trigger 9 moves to its trigger position.
- the alternate distribution device is then found, following the actuation of the activation members 10, 11 which cause the displacement of the guillotine valves 70 - 73, in its second arrangement associated with the second operating fluid distribution cycle.
- the guide 43 exerts a compressive force on the return spring 120 of the drive element 45, which induces the movement of said drive element 45 to its inactive position then the movement of the indexes 47, 47 'towards their separated position, locking the drive element 45 in its inactive position as soon as the second free ends 471, 471' of the indexes 47, 47 'are housed in the housings of the slides 39 , 39 'provided for this purpose.
- the motor piston 13 reaches its first end position P1 and actuates the rod 80 of the first trigger 8, which is actuated in the same way as the second trigger 9.
- the alternate distribution device is then found in its first arrangement associated with the first operating fluid distribution cycle, then the alternation of cycles begins again.
- the driving enclosure 2a in this second embodiment has an identical shape, with the difference that the flanges 22a, 23a are preferably flat walls.
- the main difference in this second embodiment lies in the activation members 10a, 11a which are in this case two tilting lever-type members arranged at the level of the flanges 22a, 23a of the driving chamber 2a on both sides and the other of a transverse axis Y of said driving chamber 2a.
- each rocking lever 10a, 11a comprises a main part of substantially oval shape, with two parallel rectilinear arms 121, 121 'extending in the plane containing the transverse axis Y, on both sides the other of the multiplier chamber considered 5a, 6a.
- the two arms 121, 121 ’of a tilting lever 10a, 11a are interconnected at their opposite ends by two curved arms 122, 122’.
- Each rectilinear arm 121, 121 ' is pivotally connected, at a central portion of said arm 121, 121', to the flange considered 22a, 23a of the driving chamber 2a by means of an element of rectilinear connection 124, 124 'extending perpendicular to said flange 22a, 23a.
- Each curved arm 122, 122 ’ includes a projection 123, 123’ extending from the central portion of the convex portion of the curved arm 122, 122 ’, in the main plane of the rocking lever 10a, 11a.
- the free end of this protrusion is pivotally connected to a rectilinear connecting member 125, 125 "; 126, 126 ’(see figure 4), integral with the guillotine valves 70a - 73a, which connecting element 125, 125’; 126, 126 ’is in the extension of the cable or the rod 28a, 29a ensuring the connection of two slide valves 70a - 73a between them.
- each rocking lever 10a, 11 a pivotally connected to the flange considered 22a, 23a is also connected by the two opposite projections 123, 123 'to the four guillotine valves 70a - 73a, via cables or rods 28a, 29a.
- the rocking lever 10a, 11a can thus pivot between a first position bringing the guillotine valves 70a - 73a in their positions corresponding to the first fluid distribution cycle, and a second position bringing the guillotine valves 70a - 73a in their positions corresponding to the second fluid distribution cycle.
- the tilting of the rocking lever 10a, 11a is actuated by the trigger considered 8a, 9a.
- the structure of this trigger 8a, 9a is slightly different in that it does not include a compression chamber, and in that the drive element 45a is connected to the rocking lever considered 10a, 1 1 a, for example by the intermediary of rods 127 integral with one of the curved arms 122 '.
- a first rocking lever 10a is connected by one of its curved arms 122 'to the first trigger 8a, while a second rocking lever 1 1 a is connected by the 'one of its curved arms 122' to the second trigger 9a.
- the driving piston 13a moves towards its first end position.
- the motor piston 13a actuates the second trigger 9a.
- This induces the displacement of the drive element 45a which actuates, via the links 127, the tilting of the second rocking lever 1 1 a.
- This causes the displacement of the guillotine valves 70a - 73a towards their position of closing off the first inlet and outlet E1 a, S1 a of the driving chamber 2a and opening of the second input and output E2a, S2a of the driving chamber 2a .
- the alternate distribution device is found in its arrangement associated with the second distribution cycle, the driving piston 13a then moving towards its first end position. Then the alternation of cycles begins again.
- the tilting levers 10a, 11a can be connected to the pneumatic outlets 25, 27 of the multiplier chambers: the tilting levers 10a, 11a are then activated by pressurized air generated by the displacement of the associated multiplier piston. This compressed air is led to a valve (not shown) placed on the trigger in question 8a, 9a. By the action of the drive element 45, this valve is opened to allow compressed air to actuate the tilting lever under consideration 10a, 1 1 a.
- the rods 127 of the triggers 8a, 9a are telescopic in order to be able to return to a rest position when the opposite trigger 8a, 9a is triggered which causes the rocking levers 10a, 11a to switch to their opposite position.
- This installation 128 finds its application in rivers or FL rivers with a low current C, flowing along reliefs with low drops.
- the discharge installation 128 makes it possible to create a dynamic pressure gauge, generating sufficient fluid pressure to ensure the movement of the driving piston 13, 13a and the operation of the pump 1, 1 a.
- the installation 128 comprises a Venturi type tube 140, formed by first 141 and second frustoconical ducts 142 mounted head to tail to a cylindrical duct 143: the small bases of the first and second frustoconical ducts 141, 142 are therefore secured to the respective ends of the cylindrical duct 143.
- the large base of the first frustoconical duct 141 is defined as being the inlet 144 of the Venturi tube 140, while the large base of the second frustoconical duct 142 is defined as the outlet 145 of the Venturi tube 140.
- the Venturi tube is disposed in the FL river parallel to the stream C, so that the water from the FL river enters the venturi tube 140 through the first frustoconical duct 141 and leaves it through the second frustoconical duct 142.
- the section of the large base of the first frustoconical duct 141 is greater than the cross section of the cylindrical duct 143.
- the fluid pressure at the inlet 144 of the Venturi tube 140 is therefore greater. to the fluid pressure in the cylindrical duct 143, which fluid pressure in the cylindrical duct 143 is sufficient to allow applications implementing nanofiltration processes, that is to say between 15 bars and 20 bars, or d reverse osmosis, that is to say between 50 bars and 80 bars.
- the angle formed between the axis of the cylindrical duct 143 and any straight line of intersection between the frustoconical wall of each duct 141, 142 and a plane passing through the axis of said cylindrical duct is 6 degrees.
- the first conduit 129 connected to the first and second inputs E1, E2; E1 a, E2a of pump 1, 1 a collects the fluid at the inlet 144 of the Venturi tube 140, while the second duct 130 connected to the first and second outlet S1, S2; S1 a, S2a of the pump 1, 1 a is in fluid communication with the water circulating in the cylindrical duct 143.
- the pressure difference between the inlets E1, E2; E1 a, E2a and the outputs S1, S2; S1 a, S2a of pump 1, 1 a is therefore equivalent to a dynamic pressure gauge resulting from the difference between the fluid pressure at the inlet 144 of the Venturi tube 140 and the fluid pressure in the cylindrical duct 143.
- the fluid inlets 50, 60; 50a, 60 arranged in the end walls of the multiplier chambers 5, 6; 5a, 6a are in fluid communication with the outlet 145 of the Venturi tube 140, at the free end of the second frustoconical duct 142.
- a masonry structure of the reach type 146 is provided at the level of the bank to channel the flow of part of the river at the inlet. 144 of the Venturi tube 140. This has the effect of making the flow more laminar at the inlet 144 of the Venturi tube 140 and to avoid the formation of vortices or other turbulence.
- this makes it possible to further increase the fluid speed - and therefore the dynamic pressure of the fluid - at the inlet 144 of the Venturi tube 140.
- the discharge installation 128 comprises a second masonry structure of the reach type 147 formed at the outlet of the Venturi tube 140.
- This structure 147 makes it possible to gradually slow down the flow at the outlet 145 of the Venturi tube 140 and of gradually slow down its speed to the flow speed of the FL river. This prevents the formation of turbulence at the outlet 145 of the Venturi tube 140.
