Applications of Blake’s Hydrams. No. III.
Hydram worked by Water from a Pond or Lake.
This view shows a Hydram worked by water from a pond or lake a few feet below
which the Hydram is placed, the waste driving water from the Hydram flowing into the
pond or stream nearest to it at a lower level. A Hydram can generally be worked in
such a case as this, even if the Hydram may have to be placed 100 to 200 yards from the
pond or lake to obtain sufficient working fall.
If the pond or lake water be not sufficiently pure for the desired purpose, then it
may be used to drive a Hydram of the “ B ” type to pump up any purer water which can
be gravitated to it from any conveniently situated spring or well, or it may raise part
of the same pond water after it has been passed through filtering beds.
If the supply of pond water be ample for the purpose required, then any working
fall down to 18-in. to 2-ft. is sufficient, though the greater the fall available, the smaller
the Hydram required to raise a given quantity of water.
