ABSTRACT:
A hydraulic system, device and method for dispensing fluids. Water and air are preferred. At least two tanks are preferably used for holding water under air pressure. In a preferred embodiment, one of the tanks is at a higher elevation than the second, so there is an additional pressure drop added to the pressure in the second or lower tank. The tanks have valves for introducing and discharging air under pressure. The tanks further include pipes extending into each to a point proximate one surface, such as the bottom, so that fluid enters and exits the container as close to the one surface as possible. Water is pumped into at least one of the containers to permit transfer of water between the tanks. Air hoses equalize pressure in the two containers. A discharge valve is employed for discharging fluid from one of the tanks under the equalized pressure. Prior to discharging any water, water and/or air is added to one of the tanks. The increase in pressure inside the tank is transferred to the other tank. The second tank is now capable of discharging the fluid contained therein under the increased pressure. In another embodiment, a bladder is located inside the tank such that the water is contained in the bladder and the air is outside to facilitate the changes in pressure and provide a steady response to these changes. A more regulated flow is achieved when water is discharged from the second or other tanks.
