Definitions

  • the invention is related to a pneumatic wave producer, which can be installed in or at a distance of an existing or new to build liquid medium, in which waves have to been produced.
  • the object of the present invention is to execute these known wave producers by utilising one pipeconnection, each pressurechamber, with a tee piece on which are installed two butterfly-­valves ( interconnected or not ).
  • valves have not to been built against the vertical wall of the pressure chamber, that this wave producer is built with usual, ordinary materials, and that this wave producer can be installed in or at a distance of the liquid medium so that he is applicable in existing liquid mediums.
  • This wave producer shall be explained below with the help of following figures, in which by way of example the invention is applied to a swimming pool, which can be existing or new to build.
  • reference numeral VII denominates a swimming pool.
  • the pressure chambers are denominated X and the pneumatic wave production chamber VIII.
  • each branch III is positioned a tee piece IX, on which on the sight of the pipe collector II is mounted the pneumatic or hydraulic driven pressure valve IV, and on the free air sight is mounted the pneumatic or hydraulic driven escaping valve V.
  • the third sight of the tee piece goes to the pressure chamber X.
  • the pressure valve IV is open, the escaping valve V is closed and vice versa.
  • the time of closing or opening the valves IV and V is controlled with a time-relay or a programmised PLC computer.
  • the number of pressure chambers X and the time between opening and closing the valves determine the wave pattern in the swimming pool VII.
  • the waves are produced when the pressure valve IV is open (also the escaping valve V is closed ).
  • the water in the pressure chamber X is pushed down by the high air pressure of the fan(s) I.
  • the pressure valve IV closes, the water has achieved the lowest level.
  • the waterlevel in pressure chamber X will rise, due to the higher waterlevel in the swimming pool VII and to the open position of the escaping valve V through which escapes the air.
  • the pressure valve IV opens, and the escaping valve V closes. The pushing down of the water in the pressure chamber X starts again.
  • Different wave patterns can be produced f.e. a wave over the total width of the swimming pool VII by starting the above described cycle in all the pressure chambers X at the same time.
