WATER VESSEL FLOATAGE PUMPING TYPE STORAGE CIRCULATING HYDRAULIC POWER PLANT

摘要

PURPOSE:To increase the extent of generating capacity by pumping water in a reservoir of a generator room with a water floating vessel and using it for power generation in a way of recirculation. CONSTITUTION:Water is supplied to a hydraulic power generator 2 from an intake 1 by a penstock 35 for power generation, and then the water after use for generation is stored in a reservoir 3 in the lower part of a generator room (a). This water passes through a water valve 8 and enters an upper air chamber 5, and water is put in a water floating vessel 17 moved after passing through an upper air chamber inlet 25 from a water floating vessel transport passage 20 and covered. The water floating vessel 17 is charged into water of a lower air chamber 7 from the charging port 18. Since compressed air is fed to the lower air chamber 7 by an air feed pipe 13, the water floating vessel 17 coming out of a floating vessel outlet 19 is floated up to an upper water surface by its own power through buoyancy.
