Definitions
- Devices for distributing air or gas in liquids particularly in baths are known.
- such devices comprise perforated or slotted tubes, stuffed with felt or another iiibrous or an air permeable material, into which tubes the air or ga is introduced to escape therefrom thoroughly dispersed, to enter the liquid in the form of minute bubbles.
- Such devices are used for various purposes, whenever liquids are to be permeated by a gas or for the aeration of fish tanks and the like more.
- the juxtaposed trapezoidal elements offer also a support for an even distribution of the air within the device, and before entering the stuffing, the air is led into the interior by small perforated tubes, free from stufiing and extending approximately in the center line of each element and throughout its entire length or such a part of it as may be desirable while the space between the tubes and the trapezoidal body of the deivce is stuffed with fibrous material.
- Fig. 1 shows the cross-section of a single trapezoidal aerating element
- Fig. 2 is a plan view of a device composed of several such elements made integral;
- Fig. 3 is a longitudinal vertical section on line IIIIII of Fig. 2;
- Fig. 4 shows a cross-section on line IV-IV of Fig. 2;
- Fig. 1 shows the invention in its simplest form. It comprises an elongated hollow body composed of an upper part I, being a perforated sheet of metal or similar material bent so as to be of open trapezoidal cross-section having flanges 3 at its longitudinal edges, and of a bottom or base plate 2, the two parts being connected by screwing or otherwise. End walls are provided, one of them having an air intake (not shown).
- the interior is stuifed with felt t, or the like fibrous or permeable material. Part lis perforated throughout its length on its top as well as on its sloping side faces.
- Figs. 2 to 4 show the device in a modified form.
- a metal sheet Ia perforated throughout, is bent so as to be equa1 to a multitude of trapezoidally shaped parts I, creating compartments parallel and adjacent to each other, with flanges to provided only at the outermost longitudinal edges.
- flanges part la is connected to a common bottom 2a. Further connections may be provided at intermediary points, say at the lines of contact 3, 3".
- End walls 5, G are provided.
- End wall 6 has openings, each facing the approximate centre of each compartment. In these openings is fixed a thin perforated tube 7 with one open end 'I, the tube extending through the compartment to the opposite end wall 5 which is closed. End 7" of tube '8 is also closed.
- a hollow casing 8 open at one side to all tube openings l and provided at the opposite side with an air intake 9.
- air intake could, of course, also be provided at one end of casing 8 as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2.
- the space around tube 1 is filled with felt 3 or similar material, the interior of said tube remaining free.
- Device for distributing and diffusing air or gas in liquids characterised in that it consists of elongated walls arranged to form a. body of trapezoidal cross-section closed at both ends by walls, the top wall of which is plane and the lateral walls of which are outwardly sloping, the top wall as well as the lateral walls being provided with perforations, a perforated air or gas supplying tube being fixed in an end wall 01' the said body, the space between the tube and the walls of the body being filled with a porous material, so that the supplied air or gas passes through that material and the perforated top and o lateral walls of the body into a liquid in which the device is immersed.
