Abstract
A liquid aeration system includes an air compressor system and a diffuser. The air compressor system includes an air intake manifold, an air compressor, and a compressor inlet line. The compressor inlet line fluidly connects the air intake manifold and the suction inlet of the air compressor. The compressor suctions air from the air intake manifold through at least the suction inlet hose. The compressor compresses the air into compressed air that is supplied to the diffuser.
Claims20
A liquid aeration system for a body of liquid, comprising:
- an air compressor system including:
- an air intake manifold including an outlet,
- an air compressor including a suction inlet and a discharge outlet, the air compressor configured to compress air flowing into the suction inlet from the intake manifold into compressed air and discharge the compressed air through the discharge outlet, and
- a compressor inlet line fluidly connecting the outlet of the air intake manifold to the suction inlet of the air compressor, and the compressor inlet line having a length of at least six inches;
- and
- a diffuser fluidly connected to the discharge outlet of the air compressor, the diffuser dispersing the compressed air into the body of liquid.
