PREVENTING WATER IN RESERVOIRS AND PIPES BECOMING STAGNANT AND CREATING GASES OR BECOMING OTHERWISE PREJUDICIAL TO HEALTH
Year: 1885

page_text: I EMIL BRUNO LORENZ of Beverley in the County of York Gardener do
hereby declare the nature of my invention for PREVENTING WATER IN RESERVOIRS
AND PIPES BECOMING STAGNANT AND CREATING GASES OR BECOMING OTHERWISE
PREJUDICIAL TO HEALTH to be as follows:-
The above object is gained by occasioning a continual flowing or movement of
the whole water in a Reservoir by means of a Paddle Wheel driving the water
between walls as shown in the drawing. The same effect in obtaining a continual
flowing of water in pipes is obtained by making an opening or hole through the
plug of the tap or in some part of the pipe or tap as near the end as possible.
Such opening either in a plug tap or pipe must be of such dimension as according
to the size of the pipes and the pressure of water will provide for a continual
flowing away of the water to the extent every twenty four hours of about one
gallon in one inch branch pipes of greater length than ten feet from the junction
with the main pipe and two gallons in two inch similar branch pipes and so on in
similar proportions and to the extent of entirely emptying the branch pipe every
twenty four hours when such branch pipe is of less length than ten feet. The hole
in tap plug or pipe referred to must be lined with non corroding metal so as
always to retain the samne capacity for flow of water.

I EMIL BRUNO LORENZ of Beverley in the County of York Gardener do
hereby declare the nature of my invention for PREVENTING WATER IN RESERVOIRS
AND PIPES BECOMING STAGNANT AND CREATING GASES OR BECOMING OTHERWISE
PREJUDICIAL TO HEALTH and in what manner the saine is to be performed, to
be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The above object is gained by occasioning a continual flowing or movement of
the whole of the water in a Reservoir by means of a paddle wheel driving the
water between walls as shown in the drawing. The same effect in obtaining a
continual flowing of water in pipes is obtained by making an oblong opening or.
hole through the plug of the tap or in some part of the pipe or tap as near the end
as possible. Such oblong opening or hole either in a plug tap or pipe must be of
such dimension as according to the size of the pipes and the pressure of water
will provide for a continual flowing away of the water to the extent every twenty
four hours of not less than one gallon in one inch branch pipes of greater length
than ten feet from the junction with the main pipe and two gallons in two inch
similar branch pipes and so on in similar proportions and to the extent of entirely
emptying the branch pipe every twenty four hours when such branch pipe is of
less length than ten feet. The said oblong opening or hole should be one eighth
of an inch long and in a one inch pipe one ninety sixth of an inch wide-in a two
inch pipe one forty eighth of an inch wide and in a three inch pipe one thirty
second of an inch wide and should be lined with non corroding metal so as always
to retain the same capacity for flow of water. I prefer the dimensions previously
given as I have found them to work satisfactorily but I do not limit myself to
them as circumstances might necessitate their being enlarged or lessened.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
Preventing water as aforesaid becoming stagnant and creating gases or becoming
otherwise prejudicial to health by keeping the water always in motion.
Dated this thirty first day of March 1885.
