Definitions
- the present invention relates to the aeration of liquids and, in particular, to a nozzle arrangement for super aeration of water.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- a nozzle arrangement for super aeration of liquids 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.
- the present invention is used to super aerate aquaculture pond water, it preferably equalises the oxygen and/or salinity levels in the pond water.
- 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
- 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.
- a cartridge 13 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.
- the DC voltage is in the range from 15V to 24V.
- 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.
- 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.
- the tiny bubbles rise slowly towards the surface they also dissolve in the water thereby super aerating the water.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- the liquid supplied through the alternate inlet 24 can be treated effluent from intensively raised pigs, cattle or other such animals.
- 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
- 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.
