Standpipe




by oli 80 » 07/12/09, 21:39

good evening, this is what I found, we call that a fire hydrant, a kind of simple water pump to use http://www.franceenvironnement.com/prod ... taine.html

there are still some in some towns and villages, I was at the Christmas market in Strasbourg I had the opportunity to operate one of these terminals, no effort is necessary, it was enough to activate the steering wheel once and it turns on its own for a while and the water flows

what is nice is this type of pump can easily be operated by wind turbine, it could even interest jonule

These are collective water points, but not pumps, because they are connected to the municipal network under pressure, as far as I can see.

+1
There is a terminal like this in the village where I was in college, I don't think he has any pump in there.

fire hydrant




by oli 80 » 08/12/09, 16:51

hello, the fire hydrants connected to the pressurized network would have just a push button, like the taps of public toilets, http://www.mairie-charlevillemezieres.f ... /tap93.pdf

you have to enlarge the page to see the green standpipe, you can see the push button from the side, the previous model has a steering wheel at the top, so necessarily it activates a mechanism

on ebay they sell one but i will not put the links on the forum "spam" there are pictures of the mechanism

I saw the steering wheel, but I do not think that it is a pump, rather a timing mechanism (?), Ask ...

good evening here is a link that I found explaining pretty much the mechanism http://belcikowski.org/ladormeuseblogue/?p=922

You are right to specify: "roughly", all this is not as clear as spring water.
Especially since he adds:
In summer, for lack of pressure, it does not go up any more.

I do not remember seeing this specific type of device, maybe it is indeed a rudimentary pump?
In this case, this excludes coupling with a wind turbine: there are more suitable systems.

I also doubt that it is a pump. In the village I mentioned above, it is exactly the same terminal as that of the links. However, the village in question is a mountain village, no need to pump water in the mountains, the drop is enough to bring it where you want; so why would the municipality have installed a pump terminal where a pressurized water network already existed?

I am also thinking of a "temporization" based on inertia, to prevent it from flowing permanently.

fontaine




by oli 80 » 08/12/09, 20:38

ah if only it would have been a pump it would have been used in africa and other third world countries, pumping water effortlessly, i also saw a lever fountain, a bit like farmers use and used in the past but in addition easy to handle

the push-in fountain terminals, either at the top or at the bottom to be operated with the foot, are supplied with water under network pressure or by gravity in mountainous regions

like someone sells that on ebay http://cgi.ebay.fr/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie ... 0363205652

there are pictures of the mechanism

Ah yes we can clearly see the mechanism on the last photo. Two weights which move apart by centrifugal force and thus act on the valve plug.
