Definitions

  • water may liow through the tank in one sense of rotation at a time only, whereby, as practice has shown, the continuous exchange or replacement of the whole tank capacity is ensured.
  • the spiral conducting walls according to the invention are formed as load-bearing walls.
  • the outside walls only are load-bearing walls, the entire load of the empty tank must be taken up by the border foundations and a cover or roof with a large span is necessary. Owning to the great expanse of the bottom or floor of the tank between theload-bearing walls, the bottom cannot be concreted in a single operation and leakage from the tank always results in spite of the considerable consumption of material.
  • the invention it becomes possible to distribute the load over the entire cross-section so that a relatively thin bed plate suices, thereby allowing a considerable saving in reinforcing bars and concrete, the tank, moreover, being tight. Furthermore, roof span is reduced so that pre-fabricated covers, which may be placed with essentially higher speed, can be used.
  • the walls, which need take up relatively small loads, are constructed by the Torcret system which involves applying high-grade concrete in a single shell. Concrete injected by the Torcret (pneumatic gunite) system does not need any finishing and is suiiiciently water-tight.
  • FIG. 1 shows a horizontal plan view (roof removed) of a tank according to the invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken on line II-II of FIG. 1.
  • the water is supplied by a conduit 12 divided into two branches 13 and 14, branch 13 feeding the inner chamber 2, branch 14 the outer chamber 3.
  • the conduits 13, 14 may be blocked by valves 15 and 16, an overill of both chambers being prevented by valves 17 and 18 controlled by floats.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates that feeding of the outer chamber 3 may be realized through an upper inlet 19 as well aS through a lower inlet 20.
  • the inlet 19 may be blocked by a valve 2l, the inlet 20 by a valve 22.
  • the possibility of double feeding has the advantage that in summer, the incoming water, which is colder than that within the tank capacity, may be supplied through the upper inlet 19 so that this cooler water moves downwardly during circulation in the tank; in winter, the warmer water iS supplied through the lower inlet 20 and rises during circulation. Therefore, a mixing up of the tank capacity is also ensured in vertical direction.
  • the distance (d) between the individual load-bearing walls 1 is relatively small so that it is possible to concrete the bottom from wall to wall in a single operation.
  • Shrinkage gaps extending through the total construction are closed by concrete using the Torcret system when the concrete has set. Tightness of the tank is thus essentially increased.
  • a stagnation of the tank capacity is efficiently avoided as the water circulates only in one direction.
  • a water tank comprising a generally horizontal base, spiral wall means upstanding from said base and defining therewith at least one spiral channel extending over a plurality of turns and of uniform horizontal width, inlet means for delivering water to said channel at one end thereof, and outlet means for withdrawing water from said channel at the other end thereof, said inlet means including an upper inlet and a lower inlet opening into said channel at said one end thereof, and means for selectively operating said inlets to deliver Cold water t0 said channel at said upper inlet and warm water to sait. channel at said lower inlet.

  • said inlet means includes an upper inlet and a lower inlet opening into said channel at said one end thereof, and means for selectively operating said inlets to deliver cold water to said channel at said upper inlet and warm water to said channel at said lower inlet.
  • said inlet ,4 means includes an upper inlet and a lower inlet at one end of one of said sections and means for selectively operating said inlets for delivery of relatively warm water to said one of said sections-at said lower inlet and relatively cool water to said one of said sections at Said upper inlet.
