Skimmer system with multi-weir door assembly
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11905728B2) discloses a skimming system designed for artificial bodies of water. The system includes a skimmer body with a front entrance for water flow and a multi-weir door assembly with multiple weir doors of varying buoyancies. These weir doors rotate differently based on the water flow incident, allowing for selective skimming based on the flow velocity. The system can adjust the weir doors to open or close positions to optimize skimming efficiency based on the water flow conditions.
Furthermore, the patent also covers a method for skimming artificial bodies of water using the described skimming system. By receiving water flow into the skimmer body through the front entrance and utilizing the multi-weir door assembly with varying buoyancies, the method enables efficient skimming based on the angular rotation of the weir doors. The method outlines how the system can adapt to different flow velocities, ensuring optimal skimming performance by adjusting the weir doors accordingly. Overall, the patented system and method offer a sophisticated approach to skimming artificial bodies of water, enhancing efficiency and adaptability in maintaining water quality.
