Description

 The invention relates to a pump engineering and can be used in civil engineering. It is known to build such architectural and decorative structures as parks, ponds, fountains, etc., aimed at meeting the aesthetic needs of man. To a large extent, this is achieved by the construction of artificial known natural objects in the nearest habitat, for example, a forest park, lake pond, spring fountain, etc. One of such natural objects for artificial construction can be a geyser.

 Closest to the claimed technical solution is the solution [1]. According to this decision, adopted as a prototype, in a device designed to discharge a gas-water mixture from it, there are such structural elements as a water tank, a downward gas supply pipe, a water supply pipe, a gas-water mixture discharge pipe in communication with water supply pipelines and gas through a tee, and an underground cavity for placing pipelines.

 The main disadvantages of this device are the impossibility of its operation in periodic mode with separate emission of water and gas from it, i.e., the impossibility of its operation in geyser mode.

 The aim of the invention is the creation of a device operating in the geyser mode, the construction of which in the immediate environment will allow to a certain extent to satisfy the aesthetic needs of man.

 The essence of the invention lies in a geyser device comprising a water tank, a downward gas supply pipe, a water supply pipe, a water and gas discharge pipe in communication with the water and gas supply pipes via a tee, and an underground cavity for accommodating the pipelines, the pipeline according to the invention for supplying gas, it is communicated through a gas container and a valve for regulating the gas supply to the device with a gas supply pipe, a water tank is communicated with a supply pipe through a valve d I regulate the supply of water to the device, water and gas tanks are located on the surface of the earth, respectively, at the upper ends of the pipelines for supplying water and gas, the tee is located above the lower end of the pipeline for discharging water and gas, and the lower end of the pipeline for discharging water and gas bottom mark of the water supply pipe.

With this choice and spatial arrangement of the listed structural elements that are not known from literary sources (for example, Gelperin N.I. Basic processes and apparatuses of chemical technology. M: Chemistry, 1981; TSB, article "Geyser"; Chugaev R. R. Hydraulics . M .; Energy, 1971), the following basic properties and signs of the device are manifested:
the frequency of water and gas emissions from the device with the continuous flow of water and gas into it. Such a property for any gas-hydraulic machines is also not found in literary sources. This property determines the implementation of the geyser nature of the operation of the device and thereby the achievement of the purpose of the invention;
lack of mechanical moving parts, which determines the reliability and durability of the device;
the ability to change the duration of periods between emissions in a wide range without any design changes in the device.

 Thus, the design of the device and its properties satisfy the requirements of the novelty criterion for inventions.

 The drawing shows a geyser device.

 The drawing shows such basic structural elements of the device as the inlet water supply 1; tap 2 for regulating the flow of water into the device; capacity (barrel, pool, pond, etc.) 3 for water; descending pipelines 4, 5, 6 for water, for gas and for the discharge of water and gas from the device, respectively; tee connection 7 between these three pipelines; underground cavity (well, well, etc.) 8 to accommodate these pipelines; capacity 9 for gas; a valve 10 for regulating the gas supply to the device; gas supply pipe 11.

 The device operates as follows.

 The start-up of the device begins with the supply of water to it through the valve 2, after filling the device with water, i.e., after the water level in the pipe 6 reaches the water level in the vessel 3, gas (compressed air, steam and other). As gas enters the device, water is forced out of it from pipeline 5, tee 7, and its level drops to the lower end of pipeline 6. At this time, the gas pressure is obviously equal to the pressure of the water column in pipeline 6. At the same time, gas flows into this pipeline through its lower end, such a flow reduces the weight (pressure) of a column of water in the pipeline, which in turn contributes to an increase in the flow of gas into it, resulting in an avalanche-like flow of gas into the column and, as a result, emission from it water and then gas.

 After the ejection, the gas pressure in the pipeline 5 and tank 9 decreases, which determines the flow of water into the pipe 6 from the tank 3 through the pipe 4 and the tee 7 and the filling of the pipe 6 with water. After equalizing the gas and water pressures in the pipes 5, 6, a new cycle of water displacement begins from pipeline 5, tee 7 and its discharge from pipeline 6, etc.

 An example of the operation of the device with the device dimensions adopted below is as follows. The volumes of tanks 3 and 9 are 100 and 40 l, respectively, the internal diameters of pipelines 4, 5, 6 and tee connection 7, made of polyethylene hoses, are 30 mm each, underground cavity 8 is a well with an internal diameter of 140 mm and a depth of 60 m , the lower end of pipeline 4 is lowered to the bottom of the well, the lower part of pipeline 6 is located at a depth of 55 m, the junction of underground pipelines is at a depth of 40 m, water is supplied from the water supply network, compressed air supplied as gas is used device through the pipeline 11 from the compressor.

 When water is supplied to the device with a flow rate of 10 l / min and air with a flow rate of 50 nl / min, the device operates according to the above scheme, i.e. filling pipelines 5 and 6 with water, displacing water from piping 5 and tee connection 7, discharging water and air from piping 6, etc. The total duration of such a cycle is 3 minutes, of which 2.5 minutes are filled and displaced and 0.5 min - to release water and air. In this case, the jet of water flowing out of the pipeline 6 can reach a height of 40 m

 To increase the duration of the cycle, that is, the time between one and the subsequent discharge, respectively, the water and air supply through the taps 2 and 10 is reduced. The possibility of reducing the duration of the cycle is limited to a certain limit, depending on the hydraulic and gas resistance of the pipes, the flow rate of water and air, mutual arrangement and sizes of the main structural elements of the device and some other factors, the combined effect of which is difficult to take into account. Therefore, the question of determining the minimum value of the cycle, as well as the optimal sizes, the optimal arrangement of structural elements and the optimal mode of operation of the device can be solved at present only empirically and taking into account pre-set restrictions (on the height and volume of discharged water, along the depth of the well, by compressor pressure, etc.).
