Abstract: 4466. Harris, W. B. Feb. 23. Raising liquids by aerating ascending column.- Comprises means for elevating water, oil, or other liquids by the combined action of (1) direct air pressure, (2) ejectors, and (3) the introduction of air into the ascending column of liquid. Fig. 1 shows a section through the apparatus and Fig. 4 a section through one of the ejectors. The airtight casing 10 contains a delivery pipe 14 and a number of compressed-air pipes 17, 18 leading to the ejectors 15, which are fitted at intervals in the pipe. Air is introduced into the delivery pipe through specially-shaped ejector nozzles 22, and the mixture of air and liquid then passes through similarly-shaped sleeves 26 fitted above them. The delivery pipe is enlarged at the ejectors so that the area of flow may be constant throughout. The action of the ejectors is aided by the introduction of compressed air into the casing through the pipe 30. Any obstructions may be cleared away by closing the delivery valve 42 and admitting compressed air into the delivery pipe through the valve 41. The apparatus differs in its action from that of known apparatus of a similar type in that the suction means and forcing means can act separately and independently owing to the fact that separate air supplies are employed.
