Minimization of water for<br />

flushing purposes<br />

Case illustration:<br />

Nozzle head with air intake<br />

at <strong>the</strong> end of <strong>the</strong> water hose<br />

<strong>to</strong> reduce water consumption<br />

for flushing<br />

Concept Quite large amounts of water for flushing and cleaning purposes are lost,<br />

because <strong>the</strong> shut off valve for <strong>the</strong> hose is situated at a long distance from <strong>the</strong><br />

area of application. This loss could be avoided by a manually actuated nozzle<br />

head at <strong>the</strong> end of <strong>the</strong> hose, and fur<strong>the</strong>r minimizations could be obtained by<br />

mounting of a nozzle type with a water saving device. It is also anticipated that<br />

large amounts of water could be saved in continuous flushing and cleaning<br />

applications. It is often seen that e.g. <strong>the</strong> arrangement, type and number of<br />

spraying nozzles lead <strong>to</strong> an excessive consumption of water, and it should be<br />

investigated whe<strong>the</strong>r nozzles function property.<br />

Improvement potentials Water savings.<br />
