Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a liquid reservoir according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such liquid reservoir is known from DE-A-35 42 529 .
  • the reservoir contains as a cistern a first container collecting liquid supplied through a supply pipe and being connected to the pump housing through a pipe having a return valve.
  • the object of the invention is to further improve such a liquid reservoir.
  • liquid reservoir according to the invention has the features according to the characterizing portion of claim 1.
  • the liquid reservoir according to the invention has the advantage that the housing can form an independent unit within the cistern.
  • the housing in addition to being used in new catch pits, can also function as a unit which is subsequently built into an existing cistern of the catch pit.
  • an existing catch pit fitted with an electromechanical submersible pump can for example be converted into a catch pit according to the invention, wherein the water is pumped by means of gas pressure.
  • a further advantage is that the pump is readily accessible, which makes it possible to carry out maintenance work and repairs on the pump in a simple manner, whereas furthermore the pump is not exposed to the liquid that is present in the cistern of the liquid reservoir and is possibly corrosive.
  • the pump is a vacuum pressure pump having a suction side and a delivery side, which are both connected to the housing, whereas the pump is arranged for alternately drawing gas into the housing and forcing gas out of the housing.
  • Fig. 1 shows a catch pit which is incorporated in a sewer system, in which sewage water from one or more sources can collect.
  • the catch pit includes a cistern 1, which may be made of concrete, for example, and which will usually be disposed underground.
  • Cistern 1 comprises an inlet 2 for letting in sewage water, which flows into the cistern 1 of the catch pit via a natural drop.
  • Cistern 1 furthermore includes an outlet 3, which is located at a low level in the catch pit and which is led to a higher level via an outlet pipe 4 fitted with an outlet valve 5, and which exits the cistern at said higher level.
  • outlet 3 Connected to outlet 3, at the bottom end of outlet pipe which, in addition to pump housing 6, comprises a vacuum pressure pump 7 and one or more connecting hoses 8 between pump 7 and housing 6.
  • said housing includes an outlet 9, which is connected to the coupling of outlet 3.
  • Housing 6 furthermore includes an inlet 10, which is in communication with the cistern 1 of the catch pit and which can be closed by means of an inlet valve 11, in this embodiment in the form of a non-return valve, which is mounted in the interior of housing 6 and which closes inlet 10 when the pressure in housing 6 is larger than the pressure in cistern 1.
  • Valve 11 opens automatically when the pressure in cistern 1 is sufficiently higher than the pressure in housing 6.
  • Present in the upper wall of housing 6 is the pump connection 12 to which the connecting hose 8 of pump 7 is connected.
  • Control box 13 which control box 13 is disposed at a higher level than cistern 1, in particular above ground level, so that the interior of the control box 13 is readily accessible from outside.
  • the control box comprises the control units which are required for the functioning of catch pit 1.
  • a level sensor 15 which is disposed in cistern 1 of the catch pit, is connected to control unit 14, in response to the signals from which sensor the control unit 14 can control pump 7.
  • Vacuum pressure pump 7 is so arranged that it can alternately function as a vacuum pump and as a pressure pump, to which end hose 8 is switched between the suction side and the delivery side of the pump.
  • suction position air is drawn from the interior of housing 6, and consequently a sub-atmospheric pressure will be generated in housing 6, which makes it possible for housing 6 to be completely filled with sewage water.
  • pressure position air is pumped into housing 6 via hose 8 for the forced discharge of sewage water from housing 6.
  • Figs. 2, 3 and 4 illustrate the operation of the pumping device in the catch pit according to Fig. 1 .
  • pump housing 6 is in the inoperative position.
  • Non-return valve 11 will close, as a result of which inlet 10 will be closed, so that the sewage water cannot flow back to cistern 1.
  • outlet valve 5 is opened either automatically or in response to a control signal, the sewage water from housing 6 will be forced upwards through outlet pipe 4 via outlet 3, thus exiting cistern 1, from where the sewage water can be further discharged.
  • Pump 1 will continue to operate until housing 6 has been emptied, after which pump housing 6 is ready for a new cycle.
  • the invention provides a liquid reservoir and a pump therefor which are remarkable for their universal applicability, as well as for the simplicity of construction and reliable operation, because the pump is disposed outside cistern 1, so as to enable easy access thereto, in a protected environment, with only the housing being accommodated in the cistern of the pit.
  • the pumping device is very suitable for use in existing catch pits, where it can replace the electromechanical submersible pumps that are used therein.
  • the connections of the housing can be configured such that the existing pump can simply be disconnected and the housing can be fitted instead.
  • the invention can also be used in all kinds of other liquid reservoirs for collecting in particular corrosive liquids, such as liquids in the refinery industry, developers and waste water from various production processes.
  • the pump may be configured as a gas pressure pump only, in which case the housing will be filled as a result of the pressure from the water in cistern 1.
  • the pump may also be mounted on the housing while being disposed outside the cistern. Also further variations are conceivable, of course.
