Description
SYSTEM FOR THE REMOVAL OF VOLATILE PRODUCTS RESULTING
FROM THE DISINFECTION OF WATER IN A SWIMMING POOL
------
The present application claims priority from
Italian Patent Application No. 102020000022303 filed on
22 September 2020 the ts of which are to be
understood to be incorporated into this specification by
this reference.
The present invention refers to a system for the
removal of volatile products, so-called DBPs
(“disinfection by-products”) ing from the
disinfection of water in a ng pool.
As is well known, swimming pool water is constantly
subjected to chemical disinfection treatments, aimed at
ng, deactivating or killing pathogenic
microorganisms that are introduced into the water by
bathers.
However, the chemicals used for such disinfection
lead to the generation of contaminating and harmful
substances, several of which are volatile, i.e., the
aforementioned DBPs, including chloramines and
halomethanes, which, being heavier than air, tend to
accumulate in the environment just above the pool,
causing health problems for users. These volatile
substances accumulate in the 'breath zone' of the pool
and therefore te the respiratory tracts, eyes and
skin of bathers or of pool staff. In on, the
movements of the swimmers cause agitation of the surface
water of the pool, which promotes the release, and
uently the accumulation, of volatile contaminants
from the pool water in the vicinity of the swimmers.
Today, the removal of harmful volatile substances
which are released from swimming pool water is generally
carried out by means of environmental ventilation
systems that are part of the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation
and Air Conditioning) systems in swimming pools. These
systems recirculate and treat the ambient air t
inside the pool facility.
The main purpose of these systems is to regulate
the temperature and humidity in the facility where the
pool is located, not only in the areas occupied by users,
but also near the roof of the facility itself, where hot
and humid air tends to accumulate, in order to prevent
the degradation of the air itself. For this reason, the
air vents are generally located in the upper part of the
facility, thus away from the region most affected by the
accumulation of DBPs.
For this , and due to the fact that these
environmental ventilation systems essentially cover the
entire environmental volume of the swimming pool
facility, they are not very efficient in removing the
volatile substances that are formed near the free surface
of the water and that tend to remain and accumulate in
this area which, as mentioned above, tutes the socalled
"breath zone".
The main task of the present ion is to develop
a system for the l of volatile products resulting
from the disinfection of water in a swimming pool that
overcomes the limits of the known technique by enabling
the effective removal of l volatile nces
generated by water ection.
In the context of this task, one aim of the present
invention is to realise a system for the removal of
volatile products deriving from the disinfection of
water in a swimming pool which prevents the lation
of volatile substances in the environment above and
around the pools of a swimming pool.
Another aim of the ion is to create a system
for the removal of volatile products resulting from the
disinfection of water in a swimming pool that can be
easily installed in a newly built facility or in an
existing facility to be renovated.
A further aim of the invention is to create a system
for the removal of volatile products resulting from the
disinfection of water in a swimming pool that is able to
provide the broadest guarantees of reliability and
safety in use.
Another aim of the invention is to create a system
for the removal of volatile products resulting from the
disinfection of water in a swimming pool that is
economically itive compared to the known
technique.
The above-mentioned task, as well as the purposes
mentioned and others which will better appear later, are
achieved by a system for ng volatile products
ing from the disinfection of water in a ng
pool as provided in claim 1.
Other features are comprised in the dependent
claims.
Further features and advantages will result from
the description of a preferred, but not exclusive,
embodiment of a system for the removal of volatile
ts resulting from the disinfection of water in a
swimming pool, illustrated by way of non-limiting
example with the aid of the attached drawings in which:

figures 4 and 5 illustrate the system for the
removal of volatile products ing from the
disinfection of water of figure 3, according to the
invention, highlighting respectively the water flows and
the air flows involved in its operation;
figure 6 is a cross-section schematic view of a
pool of a swimming pool facility provided with a system
for the removal of volatile products ing from the
disinfection of water in a swimming pool, according to
the invention;
figure 7 is a cross-section schematic view of a
second ment of a system for the l of volatile
products ing from the ection of water in a
swimming pool, according to the invention.
With reference to the figures mentioned, the system
for the removal of products resulting from the
ection of water in a swimming pool, indicated
globally by reference number 1, comprises:
- a main channel 2 configured to be arranged at at
least one edge of a pool 3 of a swimming pool facility
and adapted to collect overflowing water from the pool
- a first plurality of air suction holes 4
distributed along the extension direction of the main
l 2, wherein said air suction holes 4 face towards
the internal volume of the main channel 2, wherein the
water collected therein is present, and wherein said air
suction holes 4 are arranged at a height above the free
water surface present in the main channel 2,
- ation means 6 configured to generate a
suction flow of air from such suction holes 4.
The flows of air sucked in through the first
plurality of suction holes 4, thanks to the
aforementioned ation means 6, are indicated, in
figure 1, by reference A4. In essence, ore, the
suction holes 4 are air suction mouths or ports.
According to the invention, the system 1 comprises
an air insufflation device 5 arranged in the main channel
2 at a height below the free water surface present in
the main channel 2. Such air lation device 5 is
designed to generate a flow of air within the water
present in the main channel 2 adapted for the stripping
of the gases dissolved in the water t in the main
channel 2, so as to promote their passage from the liquid
phase to the s phase. The gases stripped from the
water in the main channel 2 are therefore sucked by the
aforementioned first plurality of suction holes 4 and
thus removed from the main channel 2 to then be
discharged outside the pool facility.
The presence of the air insufflation device 5 in
the main channel 2 actively forces the e of harmful
volatile substances present in the water into a confined
space, i.e. inside the main channel 2, and the direct
suction of the same in the vicinity of the main channel
2 itself, i.e. precisely where the removal of volatile
substances is facilitated and more efficient, compared
for example with other areas of the pool facility. In
this way it is possible both to prevent, at least in
part, the release of harmful volatile substances into
other areas of the pool 3, and to prevent harmful
volatile substances, whose stripping has been forced to
take place in the main l 2, from moving elsewhere
once they have passed into the gaseous phase.
As illustrated in the anying s, the
main channel 2 is adapted to collect the water
owing from the pool 3 through at least one first
grate 12. Furthermore, the suction holes 4 are arranged
below such at least one first grate 12 and, as mentioned,
at a higher height than the height of the free water
surface present in the main channel 2. Such suction holes
4 are adapted to suck in the air present in the main
channel 2.
Advantageously, the air insufflation device 5
comprises means for generating a flow of air 51 under
pressure, in fluid communication with a perforated duct
50, continuous or consisting of several sections in
ce, which extends along the extension ion of
the main channel 2, wherein at least the portion having
holes for the outlet of the insufflated air from such
perforated duct 50 is immersed in the water present in
the main channel 2.
Advantageously, the perforated duct 50 consists of
a microperforated tube or a porous tube.
The perforated duct 50 can therefore extend along
the entire length of the main channel 2, and thus
te insufflated air substantially uniformly along
the entire length of such main channel 2.
Advantageously, the main channel 2 may be arranged
along at least one side of the pool 3, or along two
opposite sides of the pool 3, preferably along the two
longest sides, or around the entire perimeter of the
pool 3, at the overflow edge where the water of the pool
3 overflows.
The main channel 2 is in fluid communication, by
means of outlet drains 20 arranged on the bottom of the
channel 2 itself, and of a relative outlet duct 21, with
a compensation tank 22, where the water of the pool 3 is
collected to be treated and returned to the pool. Such
outlet drains 20 may be provided with a shutter or valves
to regulate the water level in the main channel 2.
In this way, the stripping of harmful s
components present in the water of pool 3 mainly affects
the portion of water conveyed towards the compensation
tank 22, thus also preserving the technical room where
the compensation tank 22 and the machinery contained
therein is located from the exhalation of harmful and
corrosive gases.
Therefore, since it intercepts all the water from
the pool 3 directed to the compensation tank 22, the
system 1 is able to treat ntially all the
recirculation flow, stripping the dissolved gases in all
the water that ulates in the swimming pool water
circulation, tion, ent and purification
As illustrated in particular in figures 1 to 6, the
suction holes 4 can be formed on a wall, in a generic
sense, of the main channel 2.
Advantageously, the system 1 comprises a suction
duct 7 which runs parallel to the main channel 2. The
first plurality of suction holes, indicated by reference
number 4, is formed on a first wall 70 of such suction
duct 7 facing the inner volume of the main channel 2.
As illustrated in particular in figures 1 to 5, the
first wall 70 of the suction duct 7, where the suction
holes 4 are formed, is also part of the side wall of the
main channel 2, i.e., a side wall of the main channel 2
is partly defined by the first wall 70 of the suction
duct 7.
The suction duct 7 is in fluid communication with
the ventilation means 6, by means of a connecting duct
In this way the gases stripped from the water in
the main channel 2 can be sucked, h the suction
holes 4, into the suction duct 7, and from there pushed,
either to the atmosphere outside the pool, or to a system
for their separation from the air. In this way, harmful
volatile substances do not reach the pool environment,
but remain ed in the main l 2 and in the
suction duct 7 and are then discharged into the external
environment.
Advantageously, the suction duct 7 comprises at
least a second plurality of suction holes 8, 9 formed on
at least a second wall 80, 90 of the suction duct 7 that
does not face the main channel 2.
As explained in more detail below, these onal
suction holes 8 and 9 are adapted to suck in air from
other areas of the pool, such as the ambient air around
or above pool 3. They are ore suction points
present in the region contaminated by DBPs that are
normally absent from pools of known types.
Advantageously, the system 1 comprises a secondary
channel 10 running parallel to the main channel 2 for
ting water from the deck 11 surrounding the pool
3 of the swimming pool facility, such as for example the
washing water of the deck 11 itself, which is often
polluted by detergents and/or sanitizers used for
cleaning.
The secondary channel 10 is in fluid communication,
by means of outlet drains 101 arranged on the bottom of
the channel 10 itself, and a relative outlet duct 102,
with the building's waste water disposal network 103.
Advantageously, the suction duct 7 runs parallel to
both the main channel 2 and the secondary channel 10,
wherein the first plurality of suction holes 4 is formed
on a first side wall 70 of the suction duct 7 facing the
internal volume of the main channel 2, while a second
plurality of suction holes 8 is formed on a second side
wall 80, opposite the first side wall 70, facing the
internal volume of the secondary channel 10.
In fact, as illustrated in the anying
figures, the suction duct 7 may be interposed between
the main channel 2 and the secondary channel 10, so that
a first side wall 70 of the suction duct 7 is shared
with the main channel 2, while a second side wall 80 of
the n duct 7 is shared with the secondary l
. Thus, while the first ity of suction holes 4
places in communication the internal volume of the main
channel 2 with the internal volume of the suction duct
7, the second plurality of holes 8 places in
ication the internal volume of the secondary
l 10 with the internal volume of the suction duct
Advantageously, the n duct 7 includes a third
plurality of suction holes 9 formed on an upper third
wall 90 of the suction duct 7, wherein said third wall
90 faces the pool environment.
Advantageously, the suction duct 7 includes a
plurality of condensate drainage holes 71, which place
in fluid connection the internal volume of the suction
duct 7 with the internal volume of the ary channel
In this way, the condensate of harmful and
contaminated s formed inside the suction duct 7
flows directly to the building's waste water disposal
system 103.
Advantageously, the system 1 for the removal of
products resulting from the disinfection of water in a
swimming pool ses at least one grate 12, 13
covering at least the main channel 2. This at least one
grate 12, 13 is supported by the suction duct 7, which
therefore also serves as a support structure for the at
least one grate 12, 13 above.
In particular, as rated in the accompanying
s, system 1 may comprise two series of grates 12
and 13 side by side.
A first series of grates 12 covers the main channel
2, resting, on one side, on the ridge of the side wall
120 from which the water of the pool 3 overflows into
the channel 2 itself, and, on the opposite side, on the
upper wall 90 of the suction duct 7.
A second series of grates 13 covers the secondary
channel 10, resting, on one side, on a support structure
130 defining a side wall of the secondary channel 10,
and on the opposite side, still on the upper wall 90 of
the suction duct 7.
In this way, the suction duct 7 acts both as a
partition between the main channel 2 and the secondary
channel 10 and as a support structure for the grates 12
and 13.
The grates 12, 13 are designed to allow the passage
of bathers and e personnel and to allow the
ge of water run-off from bathers to the main
channel 2 and the drainage of water on the deck 11 to
the secondary channel 10.
Advantageously, the grates 12 and 13 cover and
t all the pluralities of suction holes 4, 8 and 9
in the suction duct 7.
Advantageously, the main channel 2 and/or the
suction duct 7 are defined by a plurality of respective
r components aligned and mutually connected.
Furthermore, the secondary channel 10 may also be
defined by a plurality of respective modular components
aligned and mutually connected.
The suction duct 7 may comprise a plurality of
transverse baffles buted along the longitudinal
extension of the duct 7 itself and adapted for separating
the internal volume of the suction duct 7 into a
plurality of not mutually communicating internal
volumes. In this case, each of the al volumes of
the suction duct 7 is in fluid ication with the
ventilation means 6, by means of a respective connecting
duct 72.
For example, in the case in which the suction duct
7 is defined by a plurality of aligned and ly
connected modular components, each modular component
defining a longitudinal section of the suction duct 7
has an internal volume which, in the ly
uration of the various modular components, is
separated from the internal volume of adjoining modular
components. In other words, each module that makes up
the suction duct 7 as a whole can be closed at the ends.
Advantageously, the main components of the system
1, namely the main channel 2, the suction duct 7, the
secondary l 10 and the grates 12 and 13, can all
be made in modular components, as illustrated in the
accompanying figures. In fact, figure 2, illustrates,
for example, a single composite module of the system 1
for the removal of products ing from the
disinfection of water in a swimming pool, including:
(i) outlet duct 21 of the main channel 2 to the
compensation tank 22,
(ii) outlet duct 102 of the secondary duct 102 to
the waste water disposal system 103,
(iii) connecting duct 72 of the suction duct 7 to
the suction means 6 and to the outlet network of the
pollutant-rich air to be removed and
(iv) coupling body 54 between the perforated duct
50 and the connecting duct 55 in communication with the
means for generating the flow of air 51 insufflated into
the main channel 2.
The composite channel of the system 1 is therefore
created by placing several basic modules in succession
to one r.
Preferably, the suction duct 7 is made of plastic,
e.g., through extrusion techniques. The main channel 2
and the secondary l 10 are preferably made of sheet
metal, e.g., a single sheet of appropriately bent sheet
metal. Such als are particularly suitable if the
system 1 is defined by modular components, as described
above.
The s r components that make up the
system 1 for the removal of disinfection products from
swimming pool water can in fact be sembled before
installation, for example in an existing pool that is to
be renovated or in a newly built pool.
Alternatively, the main channel 2 and, if
necessary, the secondary channel 10 can be constructed
on site, also in masonry, e.g., by using special cladding
tiles.
Figure 6 shows a section of a pool 3 of the swimming
pool facility, in which the system 1 for the removal of
products resulting from the disinfection of water
occupies both sides of the pool 3 itself.
As illustrated in such figure, the system 1 may
cooperate with the ation system and/or the HVAC
system 100 present in the pool facility, in order to
generate a recirculation of the t air AB that laps
the free water surface of the pool 3 reaching the suction
duct 7 of the system 1. In this way, the n duct 7
operates both the suction of the le compounds AV
stripped from the water present in the main channel 2,
and the suction of the contaminated vapours AE
spontaneously evaporating from the water surface of the
pool 3, which are pushed by the recirculation of ambient
air imposed by the ventilation system and/or the HVAC
system 100. Moreover, the presence of the different
pluralities of suction holes 4, 8 and 9, distributed in
such a way as to be directed towards different areas of
the pool (for example, towards the main channel 2,
s the secondary channel 10 and towards the
environment above) promotes both the n of air AP
coming from the swimming pool environment surrounding
the pool 3, and the suction of air AD coming from the
deck 11.
In particular, the suction of air through the
suction holes 4 and more generally through the suction
duct 7 affects both the air lated into the main
channel 2 for stripping chloramines and halomethanes and
the air flow coming from the surface of the pool 3
generated by the ventilation system and/or the HVAC
system 100 of the building. Advantageously, such a system
100 is in fact configured to generate an air flow
directed towards the main perimeter channel 2 in order
to sweep the surface of the pool 3 to also move the
chloramines and halomethanes evaporating directly from
the free water surface of the pool 3.
The air is primarily drawn in through the n
holes 4 facing the main channel 2, while the suction
holes 9 facing the deck 11 and the suction holes 8 facing
the secondary channel 10 also ept additional air
that has escaped the suction through the suction holes
4. The sucked air is then discharged externally to the
swimming pool facility and allows part of the air
exchange required by the HVAC regulations to be achieved,
without the need to modify or increase the performance
of the HVAC systems in order to guarantee compliance
with the regulations regarding the m volume of air
recirculation in the unit of time.
In other words, the appropriate cooperation of the
system 1 for the removal of products resulting from the
ection of water with the ventilation system and/or
the HVAC 100 system t in the swimming pool enables
the effective removal not only of volatile substances
actively and forcibly stripped from the water in the
main channel 2, but also those which are released
spontaneously and directly into the environment. In this
scenario, it is planned to run both stripping and suction
continuously - at least while the pool filtration system
is running - and always at the same time.
ageously, as rated in figure 7 with
particular reference to the second embodiment of the
system for the removal of volatile products, said system
1 comprises a panel 25 arranged inside the main channel
2 and adapted to divide the volume of air above the free
surface of the water present in the main l 2 itself
into a first volume of air 26 arranged between the panel
25 and the free surface of the water and into a second
volume of air 27 arranged above the panel 25, wherein
the first plurality of suction holes 4 ses a
plurality of open ends 40 of a plurality of suction tubes
41, and wherein such open ends 40 of the suction tubes
41 are arranged within the first volume of air 26
arranged between the panel 25 and the free surface of
the water, to suck in the air present in the first volume
of air 26, which is rich in volatile and harmful gaseous
components that have been stripped by means of the air
lation device 5.
Advantageously, the panel 25 extends along the
longitudinal extension direction of the main channel 2
and is adapted to retain inside the first closed volume
of air 26, the volatile components obtained from the
stripping of the water present in the main l 2, in
order to prevent them from reaching the surface of the
swimming pool and therefore swimmers and operators in
and around the pool.
Advantageously, the panel 25 comprises an immersed
portion 250 immersed in the water present in the main
l 2, and an emerged portion 251, adapted to define
with the free surface of the water the first, closed,
volume of air 26. The fact that the panel 25 always has
an immersed portion 250 helps to keep the two air volumes
26 and 27 separate from each other and to confine the
volatile products within the first, close, air volume 26
only.
ageously, the system 1 comprises a plurality
of suction pipes 41 buted within the main channel
2 along the longitudinal extension direction of the main
channel 2 itself.
Advantageously, such suction pipes 41 are ted
to, i.e., in fluid communication with, ventilation means
6, for example, as illustrated in figure 7, at the bottom
of the main l 2.
Advantageously, the d portion 251 of the
panel 25, which is located below the first series of
grates 12, is sloping, so as to allow any water that
passes through the grate 12 located above to flow into
the main channel 2 itself.
As illustrated in Figure 7, the second embodiment
of the invention may also comprise a secondary channel
, preferably flanking the main channel 2, and
preferably surmounted by a second series of grates 13.
A passageway 28 may be provided between the main
channel 2 and the secondary channel 10, for example to
collect any excess water overflowing from the main
channel 2.
Such ary channel 10 may be comprised of a
separate channel, appropriately associated with the main
channel 2, or it may be an extension of the main channel
Advantageously, the system 1, according to the
second embodiment, comprises a suction duct 78
configured to suck in ambient air. The ambient air
suction duct 78 can also be connected to the ventilation
means 6.
In contrast to the first embodiment of the system
1, wherein the suction duct 7 is adapted to suck in both
air containing harmful volatile gases stripped from the
water present in the main channel 2 and ambient air, in
the case of the second embodiment the suction duct 78 is
adapted to suck in ambient air, while the suction pipes
41 are adapted to suck in air containing harmful le
gases stripped from the water t in the main channel
2 and retained by the panel 25 in the first volume 26.
Advantageously, as rated in figure 7, the
ambient air suction duct 78 may be placed within the
secondary channel 10 or, for example in the event that
the secondary channel 10 is , within the main
channel 2 itself, within the second air volume 27.
The operation of the system for the removal of
volatile products resulting from the disinfection of
water in a ng pool according to the second
ment of the invention is substantially
corresponding to the ion of the first embodiment,
the main difference being tuted by the fact that
the panel 25 constitutes a physical barrier to the
passage of volatile and harmful components stripped from
the water present in the main channel 2 towards the
surrounding environment, operative even when, for
whatever reason, the ventilation means 6 and/or the
n pipes 41, and ultimately the suction holes 4,
may be momentarily inoperative.
In practice, the system for the removal of volatile
products resulting from the disinfection of water in a
swimming pool, according to the present invention,
fulfils the task as well as the intended purposes as it
enables the effective removal of volatile substances
generated by the disinfection of water in a swimming
pool, preventing them from reaching bathers and service
personnel.
Another advantage of the system for the removal of
products ing from the disinfection of water in a
swimming pool, according to the invention, is that it
tees the treatment of all the recirculating water
in the pool.
A further advantage of the system for the l
of volatile products resulting from the disinfection of
water in a swimming pool, ing to the invention, is
that the stripping of the harmful le substances is
forced to take place in a confined and controllable
space, in order to t these volatile substances
from reaching the environment where bathers and service
personnel are present, from which they are actually more
difficult to remove.
r advantage of the system for the l of
volatile products resulting from the disinfection of
water in a swimming pool, according to the invention, is
that it is modular and therefore easily transportable
and can be pre-assembled and installed both in pools to
be renovated and in newly built pools.
A further advantage of the system for the removal
of le products ing from the ection of
water in a swimming pool, according to the invention, is
that the suction duct also performs a structural on
in supporting the grates, thus limiting the number of
components required to build a solid and durable
structure.
Another advantage is that the main and secondary
channels can be made very easily, for example by g
a single sheet of metal.
Another advantage of the system for the removal of
volatile products resulting from the disinfection of
water in a swimming pool, according to the invention,
consists of the fact that it has a high suction
efficiency, thanks to the presence of several series of
variously directed suction holes.
Yet another age is that it protects the
technical room where the compensation tank is located,
and the machinery contained therein, from the exhalation
of harmful and corrosive gases.
A further age of the system for the removal
of volatile products from the disinfection of water in
a swimming pool, according to the invention, is that the
suction of DBPs takes place at the so-called “breath
zone”.
Another advantage of the system for the removal of
volatile products resulting from the disinfection of
water in a swimming pool, according to the invention, is
the fact that it can be integrated with any existing
HVAC systems, as the volume of air sucked in by the
system in the unit of time is compatible with the volumes
of air sucked in and uently reintroduced by the
HVAC systems as required by the relevant regulations.
According to the invention, the presence of the system
does not imply any increase in the size of the ng
HVAC , if any, in order for it to ue
performing according to the regulatory requirements.
The system for the removal of volatile products
resulting from the disinfection of water in a swimming
pool thus conceived is susceptible to numerous
modifications and variations, all of which fall within
the scope of the inventive concept.
Furthermore, all the details can be replaced by
other technically equivalent elements.
In practice, any materials can be used according to
requirements, as long as they are compatible with the
specific use, the dimensions and the contingent shapes.
