LOOSE MATERIALS PRESSURE HYDRAULIC TRANSPORTATION METHOD Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: materials handling facilities; pressure transportation of hard loose nonsoluble materials, such as hydraulic mixtures of run-of-mine coal. SUBSTANCE: transmission of energy from source to hydraulic mixture is provided through the similar liquid being in continuous translational motion. Additional amount of this liquid is brought in contact with hydraulic mixture for a short by accompanying movement with mixture and then is separated from mixture before its delivery into main line and is returned to source of energy. Sources of transmitted energy and liquid return energy are combined, and additional liquid operates under squirrel-cage duty, i.e at uninterrupted process of reception and transmission of energy. EFFECT: provision of continuous transmission of energy to translationally moving hydraulic mixture. 1 dwg
