Abstract
Abstract of the Disclosure The invention provides a method and a device for transporting liquid between two points having a very small or no mutual pressure difference. The liquid is directed, into one end of a hose of a non-rigid material and flows out through the other end which has a smaller area than the inlet, the hose being expanded by the inner over pressure.

~7~7q53 A METHOD AND A DEVICE FOR
- TRANSPORTING A LIQUID
Background of the Invention Field of the Invention This invention relates to a method and a device for transportiny a liquid and more specifically to transporting the liquid through a hose lowered into the liquid.
Description of the Prior Art It is sometimes preferable to transport water from one area to another in the sea, a lake, a watercourse or the like. The purpose may be to transport warmer bottom water to keep the ice away during winter-time, water transport to fish-farms etc. This is then very easily achieved by the use of a submersible flowing source arranged at the point from which the water should be transported, the water being brought to i-ts destina~ion through a pipe or hose.
The problems of transportiny liquid in this way are mainly economical. Large volumes of water must be trans-ported often long distances, which means that pipes of sheet metal or plastic will be very expensive. A direct flow generated by use of a propeller or a jet stream, results in large losses and an undesirable dilution along the way.
Summary of the Invention According to the invention the transport problem is solved in a much cheaper way by bringing the water into one end of a hose of a non-rigid material, and out throuyh ,~
the other end of the hose and/or through a number of holes in the hose wall, the hose being submersed in the water and being filled by an inner over pressure caused by the total outlet area of the hose being smaller than its inlet area. As the hose is almost weightless relative its sur-rounding, the anchoring may be very simple, for instance by use of fishing net, weights and floats. The hose may also be arranged so that in its resting position it does not stop shipping. For instance, the hose may be allowed to collapse because of its own weight or by help of special weights.
Description of the Drawings Figure 1 shows a device according to the invention ) where bottom water is transported up to a point at the / 15 surface.
Figure 2 shows a device where bottom water is trans-ported upwards and being let out through a number of holes for keeping ice away from a pier.
Figure 3 shows a device where water is transported towards a fish breeding net for increasing the water renewal and the temperature.
Description of the Invention In the figures, there are shown a flowing source 1, a hose 2 having an inlet 3 ~nd an outl~t 4 with a throttle 5 Holes 6 are formed in the hose wall as shown in Fig. 2.
Floats 7 are used to support the hose or net.
According to the invention a flowing source, for instance, a submersible propeller mixer 1 is arranged at the point in the water from which it should be transported.
At a given distance from the propeller, the inlet 3 of the hose 2 is a~ranged, which distance depends on the diameters - of the propeller and the hose respectively. According to one embodiment of the invention, as shown in Fig. 1, the other end 4 of the hose is placed at the point to which the water should be transported, which end is somewhat throttled.
This means that the hose, which is entirely submersed in the water, is filled and expanded by the inner over pressure.
5~
As an alternative, if outflow is wished along a distance, a pier for instance, the hose is provided with a number of holes 6 in the wall, the outlet 4 then being throttled entirely or partly as shown in Fig. 2.
It is essential that the total outlet area is always somewhat smaller than the inlet area. The hose will then always be filled out or expanded, without the need of any special supports. The places where such supports are needed to hold the hose open are only by the inlet and outlet openings. The material from which either hose is constructed may be sail-cloth or soft plastic which is very cheap compared to pipes of a rigid material.
The method described above is thus only possible to use if the transport takes place in a hose submersed in liquid as then the hose is only influenced by small gravity forces.
