In everyday life and at work, special devices are often used that allow, if necessary, to add one substance to another drop by drop. These devices are called drip funnels. They can be divided into chemical, domestic and industrial. Funnels are made from different materials depending on the purpose.
Types of dropping funnels
Dropping funnel for chemical function is made of chemical glass material. It is very durable and allows you to protect yourself from chemicals.
Industrial drip funnel is made of plastic, glass and metal.
Home funnels can be made from plastic and glass.
The most important thing is that the funnels must be strong, not breakable, they must be constantly cleaned.
Dropping funnel is light in weight, with a thin wall and an elongated end.
Getting Started
Before starting work, be sure to lubricate the funnel tap with Vaseline. This allowsopen it without much effort. Otherwise, if the faucet is hard to open, the funnel may break.
In order for drops from the funnel to flow evenly, a special funnel with a nozzle is used. In it, immediately after the tap, there is an extended part. It goes into a narrow tube. The liquid first flows into the expansion, only then into the tube.
Air conditioners with drip funnel with siphon
In the modern world, air conditioners are often used in organizations, enterprises, and homes. Typically, outdoor units of split systems are installed on the facade of buildings and the liquid from the pipe, condensate, flows into the street, onto the heads of passers-by, or into some kind of container. Especially in hot weather.
To solve this problem, a dropping funnel with a water seal was created. It is suitable for any kind of air conditioner. The drain from the air conditioner connects with a jet break to the sewer system. The siphon must necessarily have an odor-locking function, which starts working when the water seal dries out. This function is very important, because due to the possible drying of the shutter in the room where the air conditioner is located, unpleasant odors may appear. The funnel allows you to dump the resulting condensate and drainage into the manhole.
This funnel is designed to discharge small and irregular amounts of liquid. This feature protects against unpleasant odors from the sewer.
Drip funnel for air conditioners is made of polypropylene material. The height of the water seal is sixty millimeters.
