Abstract
An air-water current purifying device allows the size of the bubbles from the mixture to be reduced includes an inlet for the air-water mixture; a first filter occupying the cross-section of the device, with a plurality of holes; a first expansion chamber after the first filter; a second filter with the same characteristics and arrangement as the first filter and located after the first expansion chamber; a second expansion chamber after the second filter; a third filter after the second expansion chamber, with the same features and arrangement as the first and second filters; a third expansion chamber after the third filter; a pressure-regulating valve arranged at the outlet of the device; and a regulating flywheel that allows the valve to be closed and opened.
Claims9
1-8. (canceled)
9:
- A device for purifying an air-water stream that decreases the size of the bubbles from said mixture defining a cross section therein, comprising:
- an inlet for the water-air mixture having a first plurality of perforations on the inlet being inlet perforations;
- an outlet having a second plurality of perforations on the outlet being outlet perforations
- a first filter occupying the cross-section;
- a first expansion chamber following the first filter occupying the cross-section;
- a second filter with the same characteristics and arrangement as the first filter occupying the cross-section and the first expansion chamber;
- second expansion chamber following the second filter;
- a third filter following the second expansion chamber with the same characteristics and arrangement as the first filter and the second filter;
- a third expansion chamber following said second filter;
- a pressure regulating valve disposed at the outlet having a conical end cap;
- a stainless steel ball that closes the conical bushing via contact with a rubber stud to dampen the pressure;
- and
- a regulating wheel that allows the valve to be closed and opened;
- wherein the inlet perforations have greater surface than the outlet perforations;
- wherein the water-air mixture flows to the first filter through the inlet perforations and from the outlet perforations.
10:
- The device of claim 9, wherein surface of the inlet perforations is greater than the surface of the outlet perforations to cause a conical cavity of the venturi type.
11:
- The device of claim 9, wherein the first filter, the second filter, and the third filter have equal dimensions and characteristics.
12:
- The device of claim 9, wherein the first filter, the second filter, and the third filter have predetermined arrangements, measurements, and locations based upon at least one of water flow rate and pressure.
13:
- The device of claim 9, wherein the number of inlet perforations and the number of the outlet perforations are based upon at least one of water flow rate and pressure.
14:
- The device of claim 9, wherein the injected gas in the air-water mixture is selected from the group consisting of oxygen, ozone atmospheric air, and a mixture of oxygen and ozone atmospheric air.
15:
- The device of claim 9, adapted for use in agriculture.
16:
- The device of claim 9, adapted for use in the treatment of irrigation packaged water.
