Abstract
A plant building includes a purification chamber and a pump chamber with a pump for cooling water. The pump chamber directly adjoins the purification chamber and the geometry of the pump chamber is such that disturbing swirls are avoided while the installation is in operation, due to the high speed of the coolant. The direct proximity of the two chambers to each other results in lower cost due to the elimination of the usual steadying zones.
Claims23
An apparatus, comprising:
- a pump chamber for arranging a pump for cooling liquid, and
- a cleaning chamber, wherein the pump chamber is connected to the cleaning chamber via an intake opening, adjoined by a wall region which runs obliquely in relation to a side wall of the pump chamber, and wherein a flow cross section for cooling liquid flowing into the pump chamber is tapered in the pump chamber, resulting in the cooling liquid having a flow speed of approximately 2 to 3 m/s.
