LT5595B - WATER SYSTEM FOR HIGH BUILDINGS - Google Patents

Abstract

The object of the present invention is to provide a plumbing system for high-rise and particularly high-rise buildings. In this system, water is poured into the top vapor of the building in a vapor lifting shaft (2). In this system, the water is evaporated in the basins (1) at the bottom of the building or in the evaporators using the energy of the solar (4), electrical or exothermic reactions and directed to the vapor lifting shafts (2), which maintain a constant temperature of steam (3) throughout the height of the building. At the top of the building, steam is condensed and collected in a distribution tank. It also provides electricity production using excess water and the creation of artificial rain.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to water lifting or water supply systems, in particular to water lifting systems for particularly tall buildings.

TECHNICAL LEVEL

Many inventions are known for supplying water to high-rise buildings. Especially in tall buildings, water lifting is usually accomplished by installing intermediate storage tanks or pools. Such reservoirs are spaced at intervals throughout the height of the building. The water is piped up to a tank above and then pumped from that tank to another tank above. In this way, the water can be raised infinitely high, avoiding the problem of high fluid pressure (thereby reducing the height of the fluid column).

Japanese patent JP2001295327 specifically describes such a system where certain groups of floors are served by a single water tank and the water is raised by pumping from the lower tank to the upper tank. The disadvantages of this solution are the relatively high energy consumption, expensive installation of tanks, reservoirs require extra space, and large bodies of water carry considerable weight, which is undesirable for tall and very tall buildings. Also, the present invention does not solve the problem of water purification if the supplied water is surface water.

THE SUBSTANCE OF THE INVENTION

The present invention seeks to provide a plumbing system for tall and ultra-tall buildings that is economical in operation, utilizing the materials and equipment available on the market, and avoiding the problem of high fluid pressure. Because the system is used in very tall buildings, it is important that the system is relatively lightweight and does not overload the building structure with unnecessary weight. This system should also be able to purify water from sea or other surface water bodies and render it potable or domestic.

Based on these criteria, a plumbing system for tall and ultra-tall buildings has been developed, based on the principle that water is evaporated at the bottom of the building and that water vapor is raised upwards by natural traction shafts. Upon reaching the top of the shaft, the water vapor cools to a dew point temperature and condenses. The condensed water is collected and supplied to the pipelines. There is also the possibility that excess water will be channeled down through the pipes where the turbines will generate electricity.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

The present invention may be practiced using water evaporation.

FIG. 1 illustrates a preferred embodiment of the present invention for a plumbing system for tall and particularly tall buildings. Ideally, this system can be installed in buildings located in hot climates where solar energy is sufficient to evaporate the required amount of water. The system consists essentially of a water basin (1) having a cover (10) of a light-transmitting material, a shaft (2) for water vapor flow (3) and an overhead condenser (not shown), from which water can drain to the overhead reservoir (not shown). Said water basin (1) may be a specially equipped, land-based, reservoir for the supply of ground or surface water (rivers, seas, etc.) (7). This pool can also be located on the shore of a large body of water (sea, ocean, river, lake, etc.) if the building is located near such a body. In both cases, a clear sunlight enclosure (10) is installed above the water surface, leaving an air gap (5). During this air gap (5), water vapor moves under the influence of the natural draft produced in the shaft (2) due to the temperature difference. In order to produce a constant unidirectional vapor flow (3) in this air gap (5), one edge (11) of the enclosure (10), opposite the shaft (2), is open and may pass air (6) from the environment. . Thus, the shroud (10) has an air inlet (11) at one end and a constriction (9) at the other end, whereby the water vapor stream (3) enters the steam lift shaft (2). The sides of the enclosure (10) are closed and directly connected to the walls of the basin (1).

In the case of a water basin (1) located near the shore of a large body of water, the bottom of the basin is sloped and a hole (8) is left at the bottom of the slope, and exits through this opening (8). There is a natural change of water which ensures that salt and other dirt deposits do not form in the basin (1).

The walls of the shaft (2) are well insulated from the outside to minimize the drop in vapor temperature throughout the shaft height. Maintaining a constant temperature throughout the shaft (2) prevents the vapor from condensing halfway and unnecessary condensation. If the shaft is not well insulated, it is possible to place condensate drain gutters at certain height intervals, which will condense the condensate into pipes or individual storey tanks.

The water basin (1) can also be equipped with electrically powered heating units (not shown) so that the water can also be evaporated on a sunny day.

At the top of the building, condensed water flows into distribution tanks from where it is discharged to lower floors by conventional plumbing systems. Such systems generate natural water pressure due to the reservoir above. There is no need to stop water evaporation even if the water in the building is not consumed as much as evaporated and raised. Excess water can be channeled to drainage pipes, which, when falling from high altitude, would spin turbines or otherwise generate electricity.

There is another way to evaporate the water by evaporating the water in the evaporators, where the heat is supplied to these evaporators through solar panels located in the area around the building.

After trapping the water vapor as described above, it can be released into the cool air near the top of the building. The vapor will then condense to form artificial clouds and begin to descend in the form of artificial rain. In hot areas where there is no rain for many months or even years, such artificial rain can be used as a refreshment or amusement for rarely seen locals.
