ABSTRACT:
A self-propelled aeration device comprising a jet-aerator mounted on floats and connected by a hinged arm to a central pile for enabling the said aerator to rotate around the pile thus mixing and aerating both the large surface and great depth of a reservoir. As the jet-aerator a weir or orifice, preferably tooth-shaped orifice, are employed. In order to reduce the obstruction of jets and the wind resistance most of the elements of the floating structure are combined in a central box. The said box is self-supporting on water so that only small balancing floats are needed in addition to the central box in order to provide the stability of the floating structure. The device has provisions for preventing icing and clogging.
