Method For Transportation Of Liquids By Steam Or Compressed Air And A Device For Realization Of The Method

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and device for transportation of liquids by compressed gas or steam. According to the invention inside the vessel (1) at least two variable gas volumes V1, V2 are formed. The level of the liquid in the two volumes changes and the switching of the processes of feeding and discharging is made by the created pressure difference between the gas volumes. Inside the device a second volume is formed by providing a cylinder (2) with opened bottom. A tube (10) with an inside valve (5) are installed in the cylinder (2). The movement of valves (3), (4), (5) is synchronized and depends on the position of the cylinder (2). The proposed method and device ensure smooth and trouble-free transportation of liquids.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present method for transportation of liquids by steam or compressed gas and the device for realization of the method, according to the invention, could find application in different technical fields, where transportation of water, water solutions, liquid chemicals or condense have to be transported through pipelines and if steam or compressed air are available in the site. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] From the prior state of the art is known the transportation of liquids by electrical or mechanical operated pumps or by steam or compressed air operated pumps. [0003] In most cases the availability of steam or compressed air on the sites determines as more profitable the usage of methods and devices for transportation using steam or compressed air to operate. [0004] The most widely used method for transportation is by pushing the liquid by compressed air or steam. The liquid to be transported has fulfilled a vessel to a determined level. The compressed ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0028] is with simplified construction and much lower number of parts, that eliminates the usage of special materials and makes the device easier to produce and maintain;

[0029] ensures possibility for smooth switching, respectively for diminishing the wear-and-tire and prolonging the exploitation of the inlet and outlet valves and at the same time the problem element—the spring float mechanism for operation of top and down level with numerous hinge joints is evaded;

[0030] ensures wide range of discharge rates retaining the main elements by changing only the rod and the valves;

[0031] ensures independent transverse size because of the lack of spring float mechanism, which makes it useful at sites with special demands and limited space such as drill wells for water supply.

Problems solved by technology

USA and “Spirax Sarco” USA, functioning according to this method, cause troubles and malfunctions because of wear and tire.

That shortens the exploitation cycle of the devices and raises the cost of transportation of the liquid.
