Researches Regarding Water Aeration Using a New Type of Fine Bubble Generator

Article Preview

Abstract:

The purpose of the paper is to demonstrate that the age of porous diffusers manufactured by ceramic, plastic or other porous materials declined. Following theoretical and experimental researches, the author built a new type of fine bubble generator whose nozzle plate is manufactured by spark erosion. The constructive solution of the fine bubble generator is presented; the scheme of the experimental stand developed at POLITEHNICA University of Bucharest is subsequently exposed. The final section of the paper presents the results of the experimental research, which are compared to data existing in specialty literature.
