Abstract
Apparatus for spraying a fluid, including a pipe, a scraper capable of moving in the pipe, and a casing defining a storage volume for accommodating the scraper in a position for storing the scraper, the scraper being configured to push fluid in front of it which is present in the pipe when the scraper moves in the pipe, the storage volume being in fluid communication with the pipe and being configured to allow the scraper to move between the storage volume and the pipe. The scraper includes a first magnet, and the casing includes a second magnet capable of exerting a first force on the first magnet to move the scraper from the storage volume to the pipe.
Claims15
A fluid spraying facility comprising:
- a fluid circulation conduit;
- a scraper flowing in said conduit, comprising a first magnet;
- and
- an envelope defining a storage volume receiving said scraper in a storage position of said scraper, said scraper pushing fluid present in said conduit ahead of said scraper, as said scraper flows through said conduit, the storage volume being in fluid communication with said conduit and allowing said scraper to flow between the storage volume and said conduit, the envelope comprising a second magnet exerting a first force on said first magnet to displace said scraper from the storage volume to said conduit.
