Preferably a cartridge (13) of silver balls (14) is located in the inner tube (3) downstream of air supply nozzle (10) to kill pathogens.

Description

NOZZLE ARRANGEMENT
Field of the Invention.
The present invention relates to the aeration of liquids and, in particular, to a nozzle arrangement for super aeration of water.
Background Art
A major problem arises in aquaculture where fresh water or salt water species are intended to be raised in production ponds. The problem which arises is that the water within the ponds becomes stratified due to different densities of the water. The different density may arise as a result of temperature differences which causes temperature separation layers in the pond, and/or differences in salinity due to those differences and/or evaporation of water from the upper layers, for example. Whatever the origin, the result is that the water within the pool becomes stratified, with higher salinity and reduced oxygen, particularly in the lower layers. This leads to inactivity and a lack of movement in the pond water. As a consequence, the animals in the pond become less energetic and their food conversion ratios drop, thereby resulting in the animals being less productive for use as saleable food.
Lack of movement of the water also decreases the ambient oxygen level within the water and this results in the animals being more susceptible to disease. In particular, the actual bottom of the pond is more likely to develop anaerobic bacteria. These bacteria host a major list of potential adverse effects to the animals residing in the pond including, but not limited to, "off" colour and taste, "spongy" tissue, underdevelopment of the animal's exoskeleton, growth retardation, and very serious food wastage due to improper utilisation of food in the gut and decreased animal activity.
It is known to aerate pond water by various mechanical and other means such as paddle wheels, compressed air blown into the water, and the like.
Object of the Invention
None of these arrangements have been particularly effective and the aim of the present invention is to provide a more advantageous arrangement. Summary of the Invention.
In accordance with the first aspect of the present invention there is disclosed a nozzle arrangement for super aeration of liquids, said nozzle comprising an outer tube having a longitudinal axis, a liquid supply pipe having an outlet portion substantially aligned with said longitudinal axis, an inner tube substantially co-axial with said outer tube and passing through said outlet portion, and a gas supply nozzle supplying gas under pressure to said inner tube, wherein the gas supplied to said inner tube is entrained in liquid therein to cause flow in the direction of said nozzle, the flow from said inner tube is entrained with liquid supplied by said liquid supply pipe, and the flow from said liquid supply pipe outlet is entrained with liquid in said outer tube to cause flow therein.
In accordance with the second aspect of the present invention a method for super aerating liquids said method comprising the steps of:
(a) locating an outer tube in a body of liquid to be aerated,
(b) supplying further liquid to the liquid within said outer tube via a liquid supply outlet located within said tube,
(c) supplying gas under pressure to a nozzle located within an inner tube positioned within said outer tube and enveloping said liquid supply outlet,
(d) entraining said gas supplied via said nozzle in the liquid within said inner tube to cause same to flow in the direction of said nozzle,
(e) entraining the flow of liquid in said inner tube in the liquid supplied via said liquid supply outlet, and
(f) entraining the flow of liquid from said liquid supply outlet in the liquid in said outer pipe to cause flow therein.
Where the present invention is used to super aerate aquaculture pond water, it preferably equalises the oxygen and/or salinity levels in the pond water.
Brief Description of the Drawings.
A preferred embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings, in which: Fig. 1 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view through the nozzle arrangement of the preferred embodiment,
Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line II-II of Fig. 1, and
Fig. 3 is a schematic side elevational view of a pond with the nozzle arrangement of
Fig. 1 installed therein.
Detailed Description.
As seen in Fig. 1, the nozzle arrangement of the preferred embodiment takes the form of an outer tube 2 within which is coaxially located an inner tube 3. The tubes 2, 3 can be of any cross-sectional shape, and are preferably circular in cross-section. A liquid supply pipe 4 enters the outer tube 2 and has an elbow 5 leading to an outlet portion 6. The inner tube 3 is contained within, and is preferably coaxial with, the outlet portion 6. An air supply pipe 8 passes through the outer tube 2, the outlet portion 6, and the inner tube 3 and is provided with an elbow 9 which forms a nozzle 10. The nozzle 10 is covered with a micronising screen 11 which contains a large number of very small openings which together with the air supplied under pressure by the air supply pipe 8, results in a stream of a large number of very tiny bubbles emanating from the nozzle 10.
Located immediately downstream of the nozzle 10 and within the inner tube 3 is a cartridge 13 filled with a number of small balls 14 fabricated from metal silver. The cartridge 13 has a pair of electrodes 15, 16 to which alternating polarity DC potential or voltage is supplied. Preferably the DC voltage is in the range from 15V to 24V. The use of a number of small balls 14 of metal silver, rather than a single block of silver increases the surface of available silver, thereby increasing the ionisation function of the electrodes.
In operation, liquid is pumped or otherwise forced through the liquid supply pipe 4 where it passes around the elbow 5 and out the outlet portion 6. In addition, the stream of small bubbles emanating from the nozzle 10 entrains water within the inner tube 3 which is then forced through the cartridge 13 which effectively constitutes a kill zone for a large number of potential pathogens including viruses, bacteria and fungus. The effectively sterilised stream of tiny bubbles and entrained liquid then passes out of the inner tube 3 and is entrained within the flow of liquid through the outlet portion 6. This flow in turn entrains liquid within the outer tube 2 and therefore forms part of a larger flow flowing from left to right as seen in Fig. 1 through the outer tube 2. As the tiny bubbles rise slowly towards the surface they also dissolve in the water thereby super aerating the water.
As seen in Figs. 1 and 2, a pair of supports 17 and 18 are provided in order to maintain the outlet portion 6 and inner tube 3 substantially coaxial within the outer tube 2. Preferably the supports take the form of strips of thin plastic material such as Mylar (Registered Trade Mark) which can nestle together to create a cruiciform arrangement as illustrated in Fig. 2.
Industrial Application.
Fig. 3 illustrates in schematic form the overall arrangement of the pond where a compressor 21 supplies the air supply pipe 8. A pump 22 supplies the liquid supply pipe 4 with either water drawn from the pond 20 through an inlet 23 or water from another source provided through an alternate inlet 24. In one preferred embodiment the liquid supplied through the alternate inlet 24 can be treated effluent from intensively raised pigs, cattle or other such animals.
In the preferred embodiment the inner tube has a diameter of approximately 1 inch, the outlet portion 6 and liquid supply pipe 4 have a diameter of approximately 3 inches and the outer tube 2 has a diameter of approximately 9 inches or in excess thereof. The air supply pipe 8 preferably has a pressure in the range of 15-100 psi and the flow rate of liquid through the liquid supply pipe is preferably in the range 20-300 gallons per minute.
The foregoing describes only one embodiment of the present invention and modifications, obvious to those skilled in the art, can be made thereto without departing from the scope of the present invention. The term "comprising" as used herein is used in the inclusive sense of meaning "having" or "including" and not in the exclusive sense of meaning "consisting only of".
