Claims8
Method for the dynamic cleaning of the supply ducts for drinking water of a vehicle, comprising creating a shockwave in the duct to be cleaned,
- CHARACTERIZED IN THAT it comprises:
- in partially filling a volume with a liquid,
- in filling the volume that is not occupied by the liquid with gas under pressure,
- in releasing the liquid through a bottleneck communicating with the end of said duct or ducts to be cleaned of which the other end is open while maintaining the pressure, in such a way as:
- to create an accelerated displacement of the liquid in a first step and of the mixture of gas and of liquid that is created in a second step then
- to generate a shockwave once the volume is emptied, shockwave which propagates through the mixture.
