US 2006/0065205 A1 · Aquarium backup life support system

Abstract

The Aquarium Backup Life Support System provides a method of delivering air and circulation to an aquatic environment that does not rely on pumps, batteries or chemicals. The system utilizes a source of compressed air that is delivered into the aquarium or container transporting live aquatic animals in the form of automatic bursts of air that deliver oxygen, circulate the water and provide gas exchange to aid in the elimination of carbon dioxide. The duration, volume and timing of the automatic bursts of air can be preset or controlled. This automatic delivery of air enables an interchangeable tank of compressed air to provide long-lasting life support to an aquatic environment. The automatic delivery of the bursts of air may be initiated by a solenoid valve that senses a loss of power to the aquarium system.

Dependent claims

An Aquarium Backup Life Support System comprising a manifold control and valve assembly whereby a removable means, a source of compressed gases is connected wherein;

the manifold control and valve assembly further comprising at least one gauge of a removable means, where said gauge indicates pressure and volume of said compressed gases source, where connected to said manifold there is an arrangement of valves and controls that automatically disperse, specific, adjustable, bursts of said compressed gases that are by a means initiated and discontinued by the activation of at least one valve upon the failure of power to the aquarium system where said dispersion of specific, adjustable, bursts of compressed gases may by a means be delivered to a body of water where aquatic animals are contained.
