Abstract
A closed loop pressure washing system including a pressure washer device for pressure washing an object having a contaminant, and for recovering the the contaminant. The pressure washing system includes a supporting mechanism arranged to support the object while a washing fluid is flowed over the object to remove the contaminant. A collection arrangement is included at least partially located below the supporting mechanism. The collection arrangement is further arranged to receive raw run-off fluid from the support mechanism. A flush assembly is arranged to at least periodically impinge rinsing fluid onto the supporting mechanism to hydro-dynamically sweep the contaminants collecting on the support mechanism into the collection system.
Claims21
A closed-loop pressure washing system for pressure washing an object having a contaminant with a pressure washer device, and for recovering the contaminant, the apparatus comprising:
- a supporting mechanism arranged to support the object while a washing fluid is flowed over the object to remove the contaminant;
- a collection arrangement at least partially located below the supporting mechanism, and arranged to receive the raw run-off fluid from the supporting mechanism;
- and
- a flush assembly arranged to at least periodically spray rinsing fluid onto said supporting mechanism to hydro-dynamically entrain or sweep contaminants
- collecting on said support mechanism into said collection arrangement and, said support mechanism includes a pair of opposed sloped surface portions each extending from one end to an opposite and thereof, and each including and upper side portion and a lower side portion arranged to collectively form a V-shaped top support surface and,
- said collection arrangement having a collection trough positioned substantially adjacent to at least a portion of each said lower side portion of the respective sloped surface portion for gravity flow collection of the raw run-off fluid therein, and
- said flush assembly includes a pair of elongaged dispensing members each positioned substantially adjacent to at least a portion of a respective upper side portion of the sloped surface portion to provide a continuous spray of rinsing fluid therealong toward the lower side portion of the respective sloped surface portion.
