ELECTRICAL ENERGY PRODUCTION DEVICE BY WATERFALL CASCADE

D E S C R I P C I Ó N

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a device for producing electrical energy by water cascade, whose obvious purpose is to move turbines through a waterfall, so that said turbines drive alternators and thereby generate electrical energy.

The object of the invention is to provide an electric power generating system with high performance.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Numerous systems are known for obtaining electrical energy from water, for example from the energy of sea waves, or in other types of waters, such as rivers, dams, etc.

In any case, these types of systems have low performance compared to the assembly and maintenance costs of this type of installation.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The device for the production of electric energy by water cascade that is recommended presents a series of particularities that make the results obtained optimal both from the point of view of performance and installation, since said installation is simple, without large assembly costs and With hardly any maintenance.

More specifically, the device is based on achieving a considerable waterfall, using an upper collector, with a series of water inlets,

said manifold being extended internally in a high-rise trunk-conical tube, at whose lower end the inclusion of one or more turbines that are driven by the fall of the collector water is provided, said turbines being connected to respective alternators through the The resulting electrical energy is generated.

The whole set will be submerged in water, and the bottom, which is established under the turbine or turbines, includes a discharge chamber with a direct exit to the sea through a gate and / or with an outlet to which a closed-cycle water recirculation tube to the upper collector, so that in both cases a motor pump is used to drive water directly to the sea, or to drive water through the water pipe. New to the upper collector.

The collector, which is submerged, may have an emerging part, provided that the water inlet holes are fully submerged, holes that will be assisted by respective grilles that prevent the entry of objects that could damage the turbines.

In said emerging part of the collector, floodgates are provided through which to access the device for maintenance.

A simple, easy-to-maintain device is thus obtained, whose energy produced can be used to supply electricity to seawater desalination plants, to supply nearby towns or cities, or any system that requires electrical energy for its operation.

The water jump can be achieved in places of certain draft, whether they are maritime areas, lakes, rivers or even swimming pools, provided that said water jump is high enough to be able to effectively move the turbines, obtaining clean energy, and with a minimal environmental impact, since the device would go virtually unnoticed, being mostly submerged.

A better understanding of the features of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical implementation thereof, is accompanied as an integral part of said description, a plan where illustrative and not limiting, the following has been represented:

Figure 1 shows a schematic view of a device for producing electrical energy by water cascade made in accordance with the object of the present invention.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

In view of the above-mentioned figure, it can be seen how the water cascade electric energy production device comprises firstly a water collector (1), with upper water inlet holes (2), said holes (2 being) ) equipped with grilles (3) to prevent the entry of objects and dirt to the entrance of the collector (1).

The manifold (1) is extended inferiorly in a conical trunk-tube (4) in whose bottom one or more turbines (5) are provided, so that the water that falls from the manifold (1) to the area where they are located the turbines (5), makes them move, said turbines being connected to an alternator (6) through which the electric power is generated.

The water jump between the location zone of the turbines (5) and the water inlet holes (2) must be important so that the speed and force of the water is sufficient to be able to effectively move said turbines (5).

The whole assembly is submerged in the water, so that on the upper level (7) an indicator beacon can be placed where the system is mounted, while on the bottom there is a discharge chamber (9) that receives the turbined water , and that is expelled through an outlet (10) with a motor-pump (11) of water drive, either through a gate (12), sending the water back to the sea, or through a pipe (13) that recirculates the water in closed circuit towards the collector (1).

The inlet of the water supply tube (13) to the collector (1) includes a gate (12 ’) through which to select the water recirculation or exit to the sea.

The upper part of the collector (1), that is to say in the area above the water inlet holes (2), may not be submerged, in order to have some gates (14) that facilitate the entry into the interior of the device for maintenance. /repair.
