Abstract
The invention relates to a horizontal agitator for producing a flow in a clearing basin, wherein a propeller (2) comprising a plurality of blades (4) is connected to a submersible motor (1) disposed axially thereto. In order to increase the efficiency of the horizontal agitator, according to the invention plate-shaped flow conducting elements (8) extending in at least one axial plane are provided downstream of the propeller (2).
Claims13
A horizontal agitator for producing a horizontal flow in a clearing basin, comprising:
- a propeller having a plurality of blades arranged vertically on the propeller for producing the horizontal flow, and a submersible motor connected axially to the propeller and arranged downstream of the propeller;
- plate-shaped flow conducting elements arranged downstream of the propeller and extending in at least one axial plane;
- a frame to hold the submersible motor wherein the flow conducting elements are attached to the frame;
- and
- a vertical movement unit disposed on the frame to which the submersible motor or a drive unit comprising the submersible motor is fixed,
- wherein during an operation of the submersible motor, the horizontal flow is produced in the direction from the propeller to the submersible motor and the plate-shaped flow conducting elements.
