Definitions
- My improvement in the manner of preventing water from freezing is intended principally'to be applied in thosesituations where water is conducted through pipes into a cistern, or into a dwelling from any suitable reservoir, or source, in climates where it is frequently liable 'tofreeze.
- the principle upon Which I proceed in preventing the water so supplied from freezing is, that the exhalations ofair and vapor which emanate from the ground-at the depth of four or five feet, vmore or less, below the surface, according to the location, is at a temperature some degrees above the freezing point, and that such exhalation'may be applied to the preserving of a corresponding temperature in a vessel containing water, and thus prevent its freezing.
- the manner in which I apply this principle so as to attain the desired end is the following.
- I When it is desired to collect'water in a cistern, or reservoir, within this'excavation, I prepare a vessel, which I prefer to make of wood, from four to six inches, (more or less,) less in its exterior diameter, than that of the excavation, so as to leave a space of two or three inches all around, between it and the surrounding earth, when placed therein.
- This vessel is to be put' into the cavity formed in the ground, and it will be found circumstances.
- the curb by which its upper v edge is surrounded isto be inclosedby a close fitting cover, furnishedwith a hinged shutter, which is tobe'opened when water is to be obtained.
- the pipe throughwhich the water is to be supplied is made to con-H duct it-up into this cistern, it'being carried up in the annular space between the cistern and the ground, and overtheedge of the cistern, its fiowbeing governed by a cock.
- the cistern will not be required, but the excavation is to be made in the ground, and a close fitting cover placed over it, as in the former case.
- the supply pipe is to lead into the excavation in the same manner as when the cistern is used, but the supply pipe is to pass up through the cover, surrounded by another pipe sufliciently' large to leave an air space of half an inch or more between it and the supply pipe.
- Figure 1 represented the manner in which a cistern may be supplied and kept filled with siderable space between its bottom and that of the excavation.
- D D is a curb, shown as surroundingthe excavation, and having a close fitting cover E, E, vof plank.
- F is a lid, or door, which is to be opened when water is to be obtained.
- G, Gr is a trunk, or large tube, which is inclosed by the door, and is open at both ends, and made of sufiicient size to allow a bucket to pass through it, for the dipping of water.
- the lower end of this trunk is always to be below the surface of the water in the cistern, so as to cut off the space above said water from communication with the external air.
- the height of water in the cistern may be represented by the dotted line H, H.
- the pipe I, I by which the water is to be supplied, enters the excavation A, below the line of frost, and ascends through the annular space between the cistern and the ground, and may be governed by a cock at J, so as to fill the cistern to the required height. Should any be allowed to run over the top, it will descend to the bottom of the excavation, and be absorbed by the earth. In cold weather the lid F should be kept closed, excepting when water is to be drawn. Under this arrangement warm air and vapor emanating from the ground will, as before observed, in passing through the space between the cistern and the surrounding ground, effectually prevent the contained water from freezing.
- the unavoidable passages for air which will exist in the cover, and curb, will allow the emanating matter to pass off slowly, so as to admit of a continued current upward. Any large opening that would admit the external air freely would defeat the purpose of the arrangement.
- the excavation A, A is represented as having its cover E, E, even with the ground.
- the pipe I, I which supplies the water ascends through the cover, and is surrounded by the pipe, or tube K, K, which extends down nearly to the point where the water pipe enters. It is open at its lower closet, or other apartment in a building which is to contain articles tobe kept from freezing and when I have completed my arrangement for so doing, shall add the description thereof to this specification.
