This invention provides a pressure pipeline
upgrade system that improves the power generation efficiency of
hydropower stations by using a high-pressure
air compressor to inject air and mix it with water. The
system includes a pressure tank, an
air compressor, a high-pressure connecting air
pipe, a one-way
check valve, a pressure
equalization chamber, a pressure pipeline, a vortex guide
pipe, a high-pressure jet
nozzle, and a hydro-generator. The core components of this invention are: the pressure
equalization chamber, the pressure pipeline, the vortex guide
pipe, and the high-pressure jet
nozzle. The vortex pipe and the pressure pipeline are an integral design; the vortex pipe is attached to the inner wall of the pressure pipeline, guiding the
water flow in a vortex shape to accelerate and
impact the hydro-generator. The vortex pipe is designed as a hollow structure with evenly distributed spiral air holes. The high-pressure air output from the
air compressor is injected into the
water flow spirally through these air holes along the path of the vortex pipe, thoroughly mixing with the water. Simultaneously, influenced by the
water level difference in the upstream pressure
pool, the
water flow naturally forms a strong vortex effect, further enhancing the rotational power of the water flow. This achieves a dual pressurization effect from the high-pressure mixture of water and air, causing the
water pressure and velocity to increase several times before impacting the
turbine generator blades and driving them to generate
electricity, thereby improving the power generation efficiency of the
hydropower station. This invention has advantages such as simple structure, convenient installation, easy maintenance,
water conservation, and environmental friendliness, and can also bring good social and
economic benefits.
