Abstract
A windmill odor control and fluid evaporating device having a windmill head mounted on top of a windmill tower and having a plurality of rotor blades. A delivery hose is arranged around the windmill head and is supported by a support frame in fluid manifold. The delivery hose has a plurality of apertures directed toward the rotor blades. A fluid holding member containing a fluid containing an odor-controlling agent. A pump operated by a pump shaft rod pumps fluid from the fluid holding member to the plurality of apertures for expulsion onto the rotor blades of the windmill head.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A windmill fluid evaporating device comprising:
a windmill head having a plurality of rotor blades arranged radially around a hub; a delivery hose arranged adjacent to the windmill head and having a plurality of apertures directed toward the rotor blades; a fluid holding member containing a fluid; and a pump for pumping the fluid from the fluid holding member to the plurality of apertures for expulsion onto the rotor blades of the windmill head.
2 . The windmill fluid evaporating device according to claim 1 , wherein the fluid comprises an odor-controlling agent.
3 . The windmill fluid evaporating device according to claim 1 , further comprising a pump shaft rod for operating the pump.
4 . The windmill odor control and fluid evaporating device according to claim 1 , wherein the rotor blades are formed from a material selected from the group consisting of metals, polymers and combinations thereof.
5 . The windmill fluid evaporating device according to claim 1 , further comprising a support frame circumscribing the windmill head.
6 . The windmill fluid evaporating device according to claim 1 , wherein the windmill head is mounted on a top portion of a windmill tower.
7 . The windmill fluid evaporating device according to claim 5 , wherein the delivery hose is supported on the support frame.
8 . The windmill fluid evaporating device according to claim 1 , further comprising a gear pump motor for converting rotary motion of the rotor blades into reciprocating strokes carried through the pump shaft rod to the pump.
9 . The windmill fluid evaporating device according to claim 1 , wherein the delivery hose comprises a return portion for returning excess fluid to the fluid holding member.
10 . The windmill fluid evaporating device according to claim 1 , wherein the delivery hose comprises at least three apertures.
11 . The windmill fluid evaporating device according to claim 8 , wherein the gear pump motor is connected to the hub on a side axially opposite to the rotary blades.
12 . The windmill fluid evaporating device according to claim 1 , further comprising a supply hose connected to the fluid holding member at one end and to the pump at an opposite end for supplying the fluid from the fluid holding member to the pump and delivery hose.
13 . The windmill fluid evaporating device according to claim 7 , wherein the supporting frame is mounted onto the gear pump motor.
14 . A method of controlling odor in the air with a windmill fluid evaporating device, the method comprising:
pumping a fluid from a fluid holding member through a supply hose to a delivery hose; delivering the fluid to a portion of the delivery hose disposed adjacent to a downstream face of the plurality of rotor blades of a windmill head; expelling the fluid from a plurality of apertures in the delivery hose onto the downstream face of the plurality of rotor blades.
15 . The method according to claim 14 , wherein the step of delivering the fluid comprises delivering a fluid containing an odor-controlling agent.
16 . The method according to claim 14 , wherein the step of delivering the fluid comprises the step of increasing the pressure of the fluid in a pump to force the fluid through the delivery hose.
17 . The method according to claim 16 , further comprising the step of returning the excess fluid in the delivery hose to the fluid holding member after a power stroke.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
