INERTIA-GRAVITY MUD TRAP FOR WATER SUPPLY PIPELINES Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC F16L55/24 B01D43/00 

FIELD: pipeline transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to servicing of pipeline systems designed for transportation of liquid media and it can be used as auxiliary devices preventing accumulation of mud and dirt in pipelines of boiler rooms, heat supply systems, central heat supply points and heat supply units of buildings as well as technological water flows and recycling of water in industrial enterprises. In proposed mud trap pipe and outlet branch pipe are hermetically connected, three-dimensional members are made in form of part of ball enclosed between two parallel secant planes, height of three-dimensional members is equal to distance between far part of members and surface of pipe, holes in pipes are made elongated and orientated parallel to plane of bottom. Member designed to prevent getting of particles earlier settled on bottom into medium to be cleaned is cone-shaped, with its larger base pointed upwards which is secured with clearance on pipe. Water-level gauge glass is installed in housing between bottom and larger base of cone-shaped member.

EFFECT: increased degree of water cleaning.
