Abstract
An evaporation accelerator has a base with a housing rotatably affixed thereto and float means adjustably affixed thereto to float the accelerator in an evaporatable fluid. Air-operated propulsion means which receives compressed air from air supply means is connected to the housing to rotate it. Support members are also secured to the housing and extend generally radially away from the housing. Scoop means are secured to the support members and have a first end positioned in the fluid and a second end positioned above the surface of the fluid so that as the housing rotates fluid is scooped up and ejected over the surface of the fluid.
Claims12
An evaporation accelerator comprising:
- a base;
- float means connected to said base to float said evaporation accelerator in an evaporatable liquid;
- a housing rotatably secured to said base to extend upward therefrom;
- air-operated propulsion means connected to said housing to rotate said housing;
- air supply means connected to supply compressed air to said propulsion means;
- support members secured to said housing to extend generally radially therefrom;
- scoop means secured to the free outer ends of said support members generally perpendicularly thereto, said scoop means being angularly positioned with respect to the horizontal to have a first depressed end positioned into said liquid and a second elevated end positioned above the surface of said float so that as said housing and in turn said scoop means are rotated by said propulsion means, fluid is scooped up by said scoop means at said first end and ejected over the surface of said fluid at said second end.
