TH17207B - Odor traps with sealant retention from horizontal throwing. - Google Patents

Abstract

DC60 (15/12/40) An improved method for retaining oily liquid sealant in water-based traps for disposal applications such as waterless urinals or floor-mounted drainage, to prevent evaporation, is achieved by creating a horizontal flow path, unlike conventional vertical flow. The trap is designed to intercept this horizontal flow path, directing it beneath the sealant layer or beneath a sloped barrier. This causes escaped sealant droplets to be lifted to the surface of the flow path due to buoyancy, where they are captured and returned to the main sealant layer. To achieve this horizontal flow, the inlet and outlet openings of the chamber must be offset. In conventional traps, the barrier between the inlet and drain chamber is entirely vertical; however, in this invention, the barrier between the inlet and drain chamber is sloped to facilitate sealant recovery. The sealant barrier is positioned near the inlet to prevent sealant loss in the event of a high-pressure water flush. Improving the retention of the oily liquid sealant in water-based traps for disposal applications such as waterless urinals or floor-mounted drainage to prevent evaporation can be achieved by creating a horizontal flow path, unlike the conventional vertical flow. The trap is designed to intercept the horizontal flow path and direct the flow beneath the sealant layer or beneath a sloped barrier. This causes escaped sealant droplets to be moved to the upper surface of the flow path due to buoyancy, where they are captured and returned to the main sealant layer. To achieve horizontal flow, the inlet and outlet openings of the chamber must be offset. The barrier between the inlet and drain chamber in the conventional design is entirely vertical; however, the barrier between the inlet and drain chamber in this invention is vertical. The vertical sections will be eliminated and instead sloped to allow for sealant recovery. The sealant shielding area will be placed near the inlet to prevent sealant loss in case of high-pressure water flushing.

Claims (35)

The claims are as follows: 1. The odor trap shall consist of: a main liquid container with a top cover; at least one opening in the top cover through which all wastewater flows into the container; an obstruction within the container dividing the container into 1) an inlet chamber that receives wastewater through at least one opening in the top cover; and 2) an exhaust chamber that receives wastewater from the inlet chamber along the liquid flow path beneath the obstruction. The exhaust stand in the exhaust chamber has an upper edge that determines the flow level of the container and a lower outlet that connects to the external exhaust. The container shall be modified to contain a certain amount of low-density liquid to create a sealant layer when the container is filled to the overflow level with wastewater, with the sealant layer floating above the wastewater body in the inlet chamber. The specific modification involves a horizontal distance (X) measured from at least each opening in the top cover to one end of the obstruction that results in a greater wastewater flow than the vertical distance (Y) measured from the overflow level to the bottom of the obstruction, thus obstructing the flow path. The liquid beneath the horizontal barrier is positioned above. 2. The odor trap defined in Requisition 1 shall have a blockage consisting of a vertical section at the top of the container and a non-vertical section extending toward the entrance chamber from the lower end of the vertical section of the blockage. 3. The odor trap defined in claim 2 shall have a non-vertical portion of the barrier sloped upwards from the bottom end, thus allowing low-density liquid droplets to escape upwards along the barrier. 4. The odor trap defined in Reputation 1 shall occupy a portion of the flow path and be located beneath the body of the low-density fluid. 5. The odor trap defined in Requisition 1 shall have an obstruction consisting of a sloping section positioned over a portion of the flow path and move droplets of low-density liquid back up to the body of the low-density liquid. 6. The odor trap specified in Requisition 1 shall have a container in the shape of a cylinder and shall have a horizontal (X) distance of at least 30% of the radius of the circle of the cylinder. 7. The odor trap specified in claim 6 shall have a circular radius of approximately 2 to 2 1/2 inches (5-6.4 cm). 8. The odor trap specified in Reputation 1 shall have a container with a diameter (R) at the height at the bottom of the blockage from the center of the container to the sides, and the horizontal distance (X) shall be at least 30% of the diameter (R). 9. The odor trap defined in Reputation 1 shall have a container with uniformly circular radius over the entire height of the vertical portion of the obstruction extending downward into the container. 10. The odor trap specified in Requisition 1 shall have a container that includes a shielding area on the upper part of it adjacent to one of the inlet openings. This shielding area shall temporarily accept low-density liquids when flushed with water into the odor trap along the flow path to the shield, and prevent the loss of low-density liquids. 11. The odor trap specified in claim 11 also includes a vent at the top end of the container in contact with the shielding area. 12. The odor trap defined in Requisition 11 shall have a top cover that is sloped downwards with at least one opening at the bottom of the slope and a shielding area beneath the top of the slope. 13. The odor trap specified in Requisition 1 also includes a component that is an attachment device within the disposal stand and has a protruding part that engages with at least one opening for the purpose of rotating the container. 14. The odor trap defined in Representation 1 also includes a quantity of low-density liquid in the container and a sealed plug component enclosed within the disposal stand, and an adhesive label placed over at least one opening in such a way that the low-density liquid is contained within the container. 15. The odor traps specified in claim 1 shall have containers made of plastic material. 16. The odor traps specified in claim 15 shall have containers made of selected plastic materials from the polyethylene, polypropylene, and glass fiber reinforced polyester groups. 17. The odor trap specified in Requisition 1 shall also consist of a low-density liquid contained in an oil-like liquid container. 18. The odor trap specified in Requisition 1 shall also consist of a low-density liquid contained in an allipphatic alcohol container. 19. The odor trap specified in claim 18 shall contain a lyphatic alcohol with chemically linked carbon atoms spaced nine to eleven apart. 20. The odor trap specified in claim 1 shall also consist of a low-density liquid contained in a container with a specific gravity not exceeding 0.9. 21. The odor trap specified in Reservion 1 shall incorporate components that provide a discharge surface for wastewater directly to at least one of the aforementioned inlet openings. 22. The odor trap specified in claim 21 shall have a surface component and be disposed of as a wall-mounted urinal. 23. The odor trap specified in claim 21 shall have a surface component, the expulsion of which is the surface of the floor. 24. The odor trap shall consist of a main liquid container with a top cover. At least one opening in the top cover through which all wastewater flows into the container. An obstruction within the container divides the container into 1) an inlet chamber that receives wastewater through at least one opening in the top cover, and 2) a discharge chamber that receives wastewater from the inlet chamber along the liquid flow path beneath the obstruction. The discharge stand in the discharge chamber has an upper edge that determines the overflow level of the container and a lower outlet that connects to the external discharge. The container shall be modified to hold a certain amount of low-density liquid to form a sealant level when the container is full of wastewater. The overflow level with the sealant layer of liquid shall be above the wastewater body in the inlet chamber. A specific modification is made in which the adjustment consists of a horizontal distance (X) measured from each at least one opening in the top cover to one end of the obstruction through which the wastewater flows shall be greater than 30% of the magnitude (R) at the height of the bottom of the obstruction from the center of the container to one side of it. 25.
