Abstract:
A robotic pool cleaner (10) having an exterior housing and an electrochemical chlorine generator assembly mounted inside the housing. The electrochemical chlorine generator assembly comprises a plurality of conductive electrodes operatively connected to generator terminals for receiving power from a power source, a case (30) constructed of a non-conductive material in which the plurality of electrodes are mounted. The case (30) has passages for the movement of pool water across the chlorine·generating surfaces of the electrodes. The case (30) further comprises mounting means (124,126) on the case (30) for securely engaging corresponding receiving means (140, 142, 144, 146) on a structural member (150) of the pool cleaner housing for securing said electrochemical chlorine generator assembly in an operable position in which said generator terminals are in mating contact with power conductors mounted in said pool cleaner (10). The case (30) also comprises manually releasable engagement surfaces for separating said mounting (124,126) and receiving means (140, 142, 144, 146) to thereby permit removal of the electrochemical chlorine generator assembly from the interior of the pool cleaner housing.
Abstract:
The present invention comprises an efficient filtration process of water from a tank, where the filtration is performed over a small volume of water and not on the totality of the water from the tank; the process comprises the following steps: (a) emitting ultrasonic waves in the tank; (b) adding a flocculant agent to the water; (c) covering the tank bottom with a suctioning device which suctions a water flow with flocculated particles, discharging to a collecting effluent line; (d) filtering the effluent flow of the suctioning device from said collecting effluent line; and (e) returning the filtered flow to the tank. The present invention additionally comprises a suctioning device used in said efficient filtration process.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum pneumatischen Entleeren einer Brauchwasserleitung (1) mit einer Pumpe (2), wobei diese Teil eines Badewasserkreislaufs ist und ein Vorfilter (3) vor dieser angeordnet ist. Mittels einer Druckluftquelle (6) und über ein regelbares Ventil (7a,7b,7c) wird Druckluft in die Brauchwasserleitung in einen zwischen Sperrschiebern (4) angeordneten zirkulationsfreien Bereich eingebracht, wobei das Wasser aus diesem Bereich über eine Abführeinrichtung (9) entfernt wird. Weiterhin betrifft die Erfindung ein Verfahren zum pneumatischen Entleeren einer Brauchwasserleitung.
Abstract:
The present application relates to a wave pool (100, 300, 400) comprising: a channel containing water and having a bottom contour having a slope that rises upward from a deep region, the bottom contour further including a shoal that is an extension of the slope; one or more foils (500, 600, 704, 906, 1006), each foil arrangeable vertically proximate the deep region of the channel and adapted for movement in a direction along a length of the channel, each foil having a curvilinear cross-sectional geometry that defines a leading surface that is adapted to generate a solitary wave toward the shoal in the water from the movement, and a trailing surface, the trailing surface being configured for flow recovery to avoid separation of the flow of water in the wave and to mitigate drag from the foil in the water from the movement; and a moving mechanism having a track along the length of the channel proximate the deep region of the channel, the moving mechanism for moving the one or more foils along the track in the direction along the length of channel to generate a surface gravity wave from the solitary wave by each of the one or more foils.
Abstract:
A control and operating system for a swimming pool filtration installation, comprising a hydraulic pump; a control device for controlling the speed of the pump; and a multiport valve with rotational control means for operating the stem of the valve according to which the valve can adopt at least two operating positions. The valve is provided with detection means for detecting at least the angular position of its stem with respect to a reference plane, preferably a horizontal plane, and with an emitter for emitting the position or information relating to said position. The control device is provided with a receiver for receiving the information emitted by the emitter of the valve, capable of generating a command on the control device for controlling the speed of the pump to operate the pump in a specific operating cycle and/or at a specific rotational speed.
Abstract:
A pool pump (10) is provided which comprises a housing (11,211,311), and a control panel (13,217,317,121) arranged on said housing, with a control unit (14) connected to said control panel (13,217,317,121) to form a capacitive touch control. The pool pump (10) is detachably connected to a pool pump cover (110), and the pool pump cover (110) comprises: a cover body (111); a base connected to said cover body; and at least one functional device arranged on said cover body (111) for implementing at least one of the functions of communication, electrical charging and music play. The pool pump (10) adopts a pool control system (40) for a massage pool unit of an inflatable pool, comprising an intelligent controller which is configured to receive a usage operation to drive said pool pump (10) so that said inflatable pool generates multiple water circulation modes.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for treating a swimming pool, said method including the step of introducing Mg 2+ to a minimum level of 60 ppm and a maximum level of 300 ppm to said swimming pool, said Mg 2+ coming from a soluble magnesium compound.
Abstract:
A heating and/or cooling system for maintaining an environment at a desired temperature. The heating and/or cooling system includes a heat pump, a temperature sensor disposed to measure a temperature of the environment, and a system controller. The system controller may be configured to control a condensing temperature within the condenser such that the condensing temperature is set as low as possible while maintaining the condensing temperature a predetermined amount above the desired temperature that is being maintained. The system controller may also be configured to control the evaporating valve in order to vary, based on the measured temperature, an evaporating temperature in order to reduce the difference between the evaporating and condensing temperatures.
