Abstract: An automatic draining apparatus of condensation comprises a condensation tank; a float moving up/down along the level of the condensation; a hydraulic pressure chamber consisting of a volume changeable container for containing the condensation, and a check valve provided at an inlet of the hydraulic pressure chamber, the check valve allowing the condensation to flow only into the container, the rising float pulling up the hydraulic pressure chamber so that the volume of the container is reduced and the condensation of the container is pressurized; and a siphon having an inlet connected to the hydraulic pressure, and an outlet being provided at outside and a level of the outlet placing at a lower level of the inlet, the siphon draining the condensation into the outside when the siphon is filled with the condensation discharged from the compressed hydraulic pressure chamber.
Abstract: A constant flow liquid supplier includes a body having a cavity defined to contain liquid. An inlet assembly floats on the liquid surface and selectively opens the inlet of the constant flow liquid supplier. An outlet assembly floats on the liquid surface and has an inverted U-shaped siphon. The siphon has an inlet in the cavity and an outlet out of the body. The outlet is lower than the inlet. According to the principles of operation of a siphon and the structure of the present invention, the liquid in the body will flow out of the outlet of the siphon at a constant rate until the siphon shuts off.
