Abstract:
There is provided a drip emitter for providing low flow irrigation. The drip emitter includes a mixing chamber system to maintain flow of debris with the fluid flowing through the emitter. The chamber system includes an inner and outer chamber. Both chambers receiving reduced pressure fluid compared to the conduit providing the fluid for the drip emitter. The outer chamber is supplied with greater reduced pressure fluid as compared to the fluid supplied to the inner chamber. A first check valve controls discharge of fluid for irrigation, and a second check valve controls the flow between the first and second chambers. The first and second chambers expand and contract in response to the operation of the check valves to provide the mixing of the debris with the fluid flowing through the emitter.

Claim (Index 6):
A drip emitter comprising:\n a first reduced pressure source; a second reduced pressure source, the first reduced pressure source supplying higher pressure than the second pressure source; a first pressure chamber communicating with the second reduced pressure source; a second pressure chamber disposed inside the first pressure chamber and communicating with the first reduced pressure source; a first port communicating with the second pressure chamber, the first port associated with a first check valve, the first check valve controlling emission of water from the drip emitter; a second port communicating with the second chamber, the second port associated with a second check valve, the second check valve controlling flow between the first pressure chamber and the second pressure chamber; and wherein the first and second pressure chambers allow for expansion and contraction and cooperate with the first and second check valves to cause mixing of fluid and debris in the first pressure chamber.
