ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for pumping air in which ambient air is mechanically filtered and introduced into a stream of water circulating in a closed path and driven by a water pump, the air-water mixture being directed to an air separation chamber in which the air-water mixture is forceably impinged against one wall of the chamber to cause frothing of the mixture. The frothing mixture rises through a reservoir of water in the closed circulatory path into an air plenum chamber above the water level, the air rising into said plenum chamber being water stripped of pollutants not removed by the mechanical filter. Air collects under pressure in the air plenum chamber, the pressure air being released through a suitable tube or duct and introduced into a tank of water such as an aquarium. Apparatus for pumping air comprising a motor means driving a water pump means having impellers to cause flow of an air-water mixture, air separation means including an outer container and an inner container which receives an air-water mixture from the impellers, the outer container having a closed top wall provided with an outer duct and spaced above the level of the water to provide an air plenum chamber, the water in the outer container being discharged through a pipe means leading to a water accelerator system for aspirating air into the water and for accelerating the flow of water into the impeller chamber of a water pump means.
