Abstract
The invention relates to circulation of fluids to an elevated container in general and more specifically a system and a method for circulation of fluids in a non-resistive manner to an elevated container with at least one fluid source container, at least one closed container for circulation, at least one elevated fluid container, at least one circulation mechanism for the purpose of circulation, and at least one start-stop mechanism for the purpose of circulation control.
Claims15
A system with fluid for circulating a fluid in a non-resistive manner to elevated position comprising a circulation unit comprising:
- at least one source container,
- at least one closed container, and
- at least one elevated container;
- wherein the system further comprises:
- at least one group of source conveyors for fluid circulation, operatively connected between the at least one source container and at least one closed container, and
- at least one group of extract conveyors for fluid circulation, operatively connected between the at least one closed container and the at least one elevated container,
- wherein each group of conveyors comprises
- at least one circulation circuit between at least one closed container and at least one elevated or source container, the at least one circulation circuit having a circulation input and a circulation output, and
- wherein the system is provided with
- circulation mechanisms, and
- start stop mechanisms,
- characterized in that the system achieves non-resistive circulation by circulating through one group of conveyors at a time, wherein the fluid level in the at least one elevated or source container for the circulation output is substantially equal to the fluid level in the at least one elevated or source container for the circulation input in the circulation circuit,
- wherein the circulation circuit is circulating an equal amount of fluid from the at least one elevated or source container, as it circulates to the at least one closed container.
A method for circulating a fluid in a non-resistive manner to elevated position comprising the steps of circulating through one group of conveyors
- a) close an extract start stop mechanism for extract conveyors for fluid circulation, operatively connected between a closed container and an elevated container,
- b) open a source start stop mechanism for source conveyors for fluid circulation, operatively connected between a source container and the closed container,
- c) activate a source circulation mechanism to circulate, fluid in a non-resistive manner through the source conveyors,
- d) close the source start stop mechanism for the source conveyors,
- e) open the extract start stop mechanism for the extract conveyors,
- f) activate an extract circulation mechanism to circulate fluid in a non-resistive manner through the extract conveyors.
