Systems and related methods for purging air burst supply piping of accumulated water prior to delivering pulses of pressurized air to an interior of a screen intake through the air burst supply piping. The systems and methods can include a purge compressor delivering a purging air supply at a head pressure slightly above a head pressure of water in the air burst supply piping, wherein the head pressure of the water is equivalent to a depth at which the intake screen. The system and methods can also include a purge line arranged in a parallel orientation to an air burst supply line, wherein both the purge line and the air burst supply line are operably coupled to a pressurized air tank.
A method for delivering pulses of pressurized air to a submerged screen intake, comprising:
The method of claim 8, wherein the step of delivering one or more pulses of pressurized air further comprises:
(canceled)
The method of claim 8, wherein the step of purging water further comprises:
A method for delivering pulses of pressurized air to a submerged screen intake, comprising:
An air burst system for cleaning submerged screen intakes, comprising:
The air burst system of 16, wherein the onshore air system includes a control panel for receiving the pressure reading transmitted from the pressure sensor.
