Intake and delivery module for a fluid and associated system for treatment of said fluid

Abstract

The invention relates to an intake and delivery module for a fluid, in particular water for a swimming pool or more generally for a tank, and an associated system for treatment of said associated fluid. It makes it possible to facilitate the installation and the activation of the system for treatment of the fluid of a tank, to generate a sufficient output of fluid, to decrease the number of pieces of equipment and to prevent any damage to the treatment means. The fluid intake and delivery module comprises an intake port which co-operates with a proximal part of a fluid outlet conduit and a delivery port which co-operates with a proximal part of a fluid inlet conduit. It also includes a self-priming pump which co-operates with the fluid outlet conduit downstream of the intake port.

1 . A fluid intake and delivery module comprising an intake port which co-operates with a proximal part of a fluid outlet conduit, a delivery port which co-operates with a proximal part of a fluid inlet conduit, and a “self-priming” pump  12  which co-operates with a fluid outlet conduit downstream of the intake port. 
     
     
         2 . The intake and delivery module as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the self-priming pump is a low-voltage pump. 
     
     
         3 . The intake and delivery module as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the self-priming pump is a well pump or a cellar pump. 
     
     
         4 . The intake and delivery module as claimed in  claim 1  further comprising a first casing including openings arranged so that the respective proximal parts of the inlet and outlet conduits emerge from said openings. 
     
     
         5 . The intake and delivery module as claimed in  claim 1 , further including ballast sufficient to cause the immersion of the module. 
     
     
         6 . The intake and delivery module as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein said first casing includes an upper part and a lower part intended to be immersed, and wherein the intake port is positioned on the lower part of the first casing. 
     
     
         7 . The intake and delivery module ( 6 ) as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the first casing encloses the self-priming pump. 
     
     
         8 . The intake and delivery module as claimed in  claim 6 , including means arranged to ensure the flotation of said module while keeping the lower part of the first casing immersed. 
     
     
         9 . The intake and delivery module as claimed in  claim 4 , comprising an outer casing in order to enclose the first casing, the delivery and intake ports, said outer casing including at least one opening to enable exchanges of fluids between the outside world and the first casing. 
     
     
         10 . The intake and delivery module for a fluid for a tank as claimed in  claim 4 , the first casing has a shape bent in an inverted L arranged to follow the rim of a tank. 
     
     
         11 . The intake and delivery module as claimed in  claim 1 , including fixing means. 
     
     
         12 . The intake and delivery module as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein respective proximal parts of the inlet and outlet conduits are flush with the openings of the first casing. 
     
     
         13 . The intake and delivery module as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the intake port includes a strainer or a grate. 
     
     
         14 . The intake and delivery module as claimed in  claim 1 , including means for distancing the delivery port from the intake port. 
     
     
         15 . The intake and delivery module as claimed in  claim 14 , wherein the means for distancing the delivery port keep the delivery port at a greater depth than that of the intake port. 
     
     
         16 . The fluid intake and delivery module as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the respective distal parts of the inlet and outlet conduits include universal connectors. 
     
     
         17 . The intake/delivery module as claimed in  claim 1 , including gripping means. 
     
     
         18 . A system of treatment of a fluid of a tank, comprising means for treatment of said fluid, and an intake/delivery module according to  claim 1 , said treatment means co-operating with respective distal parts of the inlet and outlet conduits of said module. 
     
     
         19 . The system of treatment of a fluid of a tank as claimed in  claim 18 , wherein the fluid treatment means include means for supplying and/or actuating the self-priming pump of the intake and delivery module. 
     
     
         20 . The system of treatment of a fluid of a tank as claimed in  claim 18 , wherein the fluid treatment means include filtration means. 
     
     
         21 . The system of treatment of a fluid of a tank as claimed in  claim 18 , wherein the fluid treatment means include a heat pump. 
     
     
         22 . The system of treatment of a fluid as claimed in  claim 19 , wherein said means for supplying and/or actuating the self-priming pump of the intake and delivery module are arranged so as to actuate self-priming pump prior to the treatment of the fluid. 
     
     
         23 . A method for adaptation of fluid treatment means of a treatment system as claimed in  claim 18 , comprising a step for adapting the fluid treatment means by joining the fluid treatment means to means for supplying and actuating the self-priming pump of the intake and delivery module, said supplying and actuating means actuating said pump prior to the treatment per se of the fluid during the activation of the treatment means.
