Abstract

The subject of the invention relates to an apparatus for thawing water pipes made of polyethylene which are commonly called "plastic pipes". Referring to Figure 1 : A is a tank, B an electrical resistor, T a thermostat, this assembly heats a liquid consisting of water containing a 10 % proportion of calcium chloride. A connection valve V between the electrical pump C which drives the liquid via a probe D in the pipe to be thawed towards the ice blockage. The returning liquid ends up in the collector F in order to be directed towards the tank A and once again repeat its thawing operation cycle.

Description

La présente invention a pour objet à titre de produit industriel nouveau un appareil pour dégeler les canalisations d'eau en polyéthylène appelée communément "tuyaux plastic"
Actuellement beaucoup de branchements particuliers d'immeuble et de villa ou chalet sont réalisés avec du polyéthylène.The subject of the present invention is, as a new industrial product, an apparatus for thawing polyethylene water pipes commonly called "plastic pipes".
Currently many private connections to buildings and villas or chalets are made with polyethylene.

Certains de ces propriétaires connaissent les soucis de la privation d'eau par cause de gel. Some of these owners are aware of the concerns of water deprivation due to frost.

L'invention permet de remédier à ce problème de gel des hivers rigoureux, et, actuellement sans solution autre que l'at;tente des beaux jours.  The invention makes it possible to remedy this problem of freezing severe winters, and, currently without solution other than at; tent of the beautiful days.

Suivant l'invention cet appareil chauffe un liquide (composé d'eau dosé à 10 X de chlorure de calcium) à une température réglable de 600 à 800 environ. According to the invention, this device heats a liquid (composed of water dosed with 10 X of calcium chloride) to a temperature adjustable from 600 to 800 approximately.

A l'aidé d'une électro-pompe, st par l'intermédiaire d'une sonde ce liquide est amené face au bouchon de glace. With the help of an electro-pump, st by means of a probe, this liquid is brought in front of the ice plug.

Là le liquide produit son effet de dégel, en retour, il est récupéré et remis en circuit dans l'appareil pour être à nouveau réchauffé et continuer le cycle d'opération de dégel. There the liquid produces its thawing effect, in return, it is recovered and put back into circuit in the device to be reheated again and continue the thawing operation cycle.

L'avance dans un tuyau gelé s'effectue à une vitesse moyenne; de 20 à 25 mètres à l'heure. The advance in a frozen pipe takes place at an average speed; 20 to 25 meters per hour.

Une forme d'exécution de l'invention est décrite ci-après à titre indicatif et nullement limitatif en se référant. aux dessins annexés. An embodiment of the invention is described below by way of indication and in no way limiting with reference. to the accompanying drawings.

La figure I est un schéma de principe de l'appareil. Figure I is a block diagram of the apparatus.

La figure 2 est un détail de la sonde dans la canalisation d'eau gelée.  Figure 2 is a detail of the probe in the frozen water pipe.

Cet appareil comprend : Un réservoir (A) dans ce réservoir une résistance électrique (B) pour chauffer le contenu. This device includes: A tank (A) in this tank an electrical resistance (B) to heat the contents.

Un thermostat (T) règle la température du liquide. Le réservoir est relié par l'intermédiaire d'une vanne à une 6lectro-pompe (C) qui distribue le liquide dans une sonde (D) enroulée sur un dévidoir(E),
Cette sonde s'engage dans le récupérateur (F) par l'intermédiaire.A thermostat (T) regulates the temperature of the liquid. The reservoir is connected via a valve to a 6-pump (C) which distributes the liquid in a probe (D) wound on a reel (E),
This probe engages in the recuperator (F) via.

de l'entratneur guide à galets (s)
Le récupérateur est relié au réservoir'(A) par un tuyau souple (H). L'ensemble récupétateur entraîneur vient se fixer sur la canalisation à dégeler, au-moyen d'-un raccord étanche.of the roller guide driver (s)
The recuperator is connected to the reservoir '(A) by a flexible hose (H). The trainer recovery unit is attached to the pipe to be thawed, by means of a sealed connection.

Un presse-étoupe (P) à serrage rapide se situe sur le récupéra- teur pour éviter toutes fuites eventuelles. A quick-tightening cable gland (P) is located on the collector to prevent any possible leaks.

L'extrémité de la sonde -est constituée par un embout en forme d'obus (0) faisant office de- fusée.  The end of the probe -is constituted by a shell-shaped tip (0) acting as a rocket.

L'appareil est alimenté par un courant alternatif 220 volts.  The device is powered by 220 volts alternating current.

La mise en oeuvre de l'appareil est très simple : il suffit de démonter le raccord en bronze reliant la canalisation en polyéthylène d'alimentation d'eau au robinet d'arrêt de l'installation générale de la maison, et ensuite, à l'aide d'un raccord correspondant au diamètre de cette canalisation à dégeler (I), de fixer le récupérateur (F) et commencer l'opération de dégel. The implementation of the device is very simple: it is enough to disassemble the bronze connection connecting the polyethylene pipe of water supply to the stopcock of the general installation of the house, and then, to the using a fitting corresponding to the diameter of this pipe to be thawed (I), fix the recuperator (F) and start the thawing operation.

Toutefois, les formes et dimensions des différents éléments de l'invention ne sont aucunement limités.
-La réalisation décrite et représéntée - constitue seulement un exemple auquel de nombreuses nodifications- peuvent être apportées såns chanKer pour cela la conception générale. de l'invention qui vient d'être expliquée el-le en embrasse au contraire toutes les variantes.However, the shapes and dimensions of the various elements of the invention are in no way limited.
-The realization described and represented - is only an example to which many modifications - can be made without changing the general design. of the invention which has just been explained el-le embraces on the contrary all the variants.

Cette appareil peut évoluer pour intervenir sur de grosses canalisations "plastic" ou-fonte.  This device can evolve to intervene on large "plastic" or cast iron pipes.
