Mining | A. A standpipe or storage reservoir at the downstream end of a closed aqueduct or feeder pipe, as for a water wheel, to absorb sudden rises of pressure and to furnish water quickly during a drop in pressure b. An open tank to which the top of a surge pipe is connected so as to avoid loss of water during a pressure surge c. In pumping of ore pulps, a relatively small tank that maintains a steady loading of the pump. When new pulp is in short supply, a float valve causes recirculation of part of the load, therefore avoiding settlement. Alternatively, a float may vary the speed of the pump, vary the rate of delivery to the tank, or divert the flow to a parallel syste. (references) |
