Liquid Lifting & Power Generation System

A New Energy Circulation Model that Enhances the Value of Hydropower

Overview

In factories, buildings, hospitals, commercial facilities, and water treatment plants, water is typically pumped to elevated storage tanks, which results in high electricity consumption. To address this issue, the proposed invention introduces a liquid lifting and power generation system that uses high-pressure fluid to increase the internal pressure of a storage chamber, enabling liquid to be transported to higher elevations without conventional pumps.

💡Key Features of the Invention
・ Significant reduction in power consumption compared to conventional pumping systems
・ Superior safety and ease of handling compared to methods that use flammable gases
