Abstract
Description

If it is necessary to increase the water supply flow rate, the conventional methods are to increase the pipe diameter, lay a double line, raise the water level of the water inlet, etc. For long-distance water supply, when the pipe diameter, pipe material, and water levels at the inlet and outlet are determined, it is impossible to replace the pipe diameter, lay a double line, or raise the water level of the water inlet, thus it is impossible to increase the water supply flow rate.

[0019] The utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.
[0020] The utility model provides a flow rate increasing device for long-distance gravity flow water conveyance line, as Figure 1 shown, which includes a water pump unit. One end of the water pump unit is connected with a water inlet pipe 1, and the other end of the water pump unit is respectively connected with a water hammer air tank 6 and a water outlet pipe 9 through pipelines. The other end of the water hammer air tank 6 is connected with a drain pipe 10. The water pump unit includes a first water pump 2 and a second water pump 3. The first water pump 2 and the second water pump 3 are respectively connected with the water inlet pipe 1. A first valve 4 is arranged between the water inlet pipe 1 and the first water pump 2, and a second valve 5 is arranged between the water inlet pipe 1 and the second water pump 3. The first water pump 2 and the second water pump 3 are jointly connected with the water hammer air tank 6 and the water outlet pipe 9 through pipelines respectively. A flowmeter 7 and a third valve 8 are arranged on the pipeline connecting the first water pump 2 and the second water pump 3 with the water hammer air tank 6. The third valve 8 is arranged at the port near the connection of the water hammer air tank 6 to the water outlet pipe. The first water pump 2, the second water pump 3, the water hammer air tank 6, the first valve 4, the second valve 5 and the third valve 8 are respectively connected with a control cabinet 11.
[0021] The working principle of the utility model is as follows:
[0022] After adding the flow rate increasing device for long-distance gravity flow water conveyance line provided by the utility model to the water supply line, the water supply flow rate is increased by increasing the working head in the pipeline through the boost of the water pump unit and thus increasing the water flow velocity in the pipeline. The calculation formula is as follows:
[0023] H = V 2 / 2g (1);
[0024] Wherein, H represents the working head in the pipeline in m; V represents the flow velocity in the pipeline in m / s; G represents the acceleration of gravity in m / s2.
[0025] It can be seen from formula (1) that by increasing the working head in the pipeline, the flow velocity in the pipeline can be increased in a square relationship.
[0026] Q = A × V (2);
[0027] Wherein, Q represents the flow rate in the pipeline in m3 / s; A represents the flow-through area of the pipeline in m2;
[0028] It can be seen from formula (2) that when the flow-through cross-section of the water supply pipeline remains unchanged, increasing the flow velocity in the pipeline can achieve an increase in the flow-through capacity.
[0029] Operating principle:
[0030] Operating condition 1: When supplying water at the original designed flow rate, the overall pressurization system does not work, and the original pipeline water supply operation is maintained.
[0031] Operating condition 2: When the water supply flow rate increases during operation, all valves are in the open state. Through valve switching, the water in the original water supply pipeline enters the pressurization device, and any one of the two pump units is started for pressurized operation, and the other unit is in standby.
[0032] Accident condition: When the power supply is suddenly interrupted, the pump units will suddenly stop running, and water pressure fluctuations will occur in the water supply pipeline. When the fluctuations change greatly, it will cause harm to the pipeline system. The system absorbs and eliminates the water hammer pressure fluctuations in the pipeline system through the water hammer air tank to ensure the safety of the pipeline system.
