Definitions
- the base plate or the outlet openings can be supplied with treatment liquid, for example, by means of a feeder tions 8 take place.
- the feed lines are expediently connected to one or more reservoirs in which the treatment liquid is placed.
- the required working pressure can be generated in various ways, for example hydrostatically by means of an elevated position of the reservoirs in relation to the base plate, or by means of pressurized gases acting on the liquid, such as compressed air, or by pumps.
- the working pressure is generally not subject to any restrictions, those pressures are generally only used in exceptional cases where the equipment, operation and safety requirements are disproportionately high.
- the line pressure provided in the usual liquid supply systems for example water pipes, is sufficient anyway.
