Autogenous water pressure producer using mountain lakes - takes pressure from water column in pipe over mountain side for driving hydraulic machine

摘要

The installation concerns means to use energy from high level mountain waters. It proposes to use a pipe (1) with one end dipped into a mountain lake (2). The pipe end is fitted with a buoy (5) to prevent it from sinking to the ground. The pipe is routed along the slope (3) of the mountain and terminates with a connection to the hydraulic machine (4). To start to the operation valves (6, 6a) have to be shut and using filling valve (7) the pipe section between (6, 6a) is filled with water. Subsequently valve (7) is closed and valves (6, 6a) opened. Water starts flowing to the machine (4) and at the same time valve (8) is used for venting the section from (8) to the machine. Valve (8) is then closed and pressure water continues to flow to the machine (4).
