Abstract
The invention provides an aerator device for dispensing liquid in a gas phase by producing an upwardly-directed spray of the liquid from a tank. The device, which is intended to be submerged in a tank, comprises a motor-pump unit in the vicinity of the tank floor and a primary flared tube and a secondary flared tube coaxial therewith. The secondary flared tube is connected to a delivery nozzle by an intermediate duct, and the delivery nozzle is surmounted by an adjustable needle. The buoyancy of the whole assembly is ensured by a set of variably ballasted buoys which pivot at the end of support arms, and by an upper buoy concentric with the nozzle.
Claims11
A device for dispersing liquid from a bed or tank into a gas phase with which the liquid defines a liquid-gas interface, said device comprising a primary flared suction tube for liquid intake, said tube tapering in the direction of the flow of liquid therethrough, a pump submergible in the liquid in the bed or tank at the level of, and enclosed by, said flared suction tube, motor means directly connected to said pump for driving said pump, a delivery nozzle located near the gas-liquid interface having a flared outer surface constituted by a surface of revolution, and duct means for carrying liquid to be dispersed interconnecting said primary suction tube and said delivery nozzle, said duct means being of a height selected as a function of the depth of liquid in the bed or tank for locating said primary suction tube near the bottom of the bed or tank and thereby adapting said device to tank or beds of different depths.
