Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0675234A1] The flushing method uses a valve (5) in the water feed pipe (4), which is operated by an electronic control and analysis unit (14). The feed pipe is also fitted with a water turbine (6) which drives a generator (7). The electrical energy produced by the generator is stored in a capacitor (15). The control unit monitors the state of charge of the capacitor, and when its voltage falls below a predetermined value, the valve is opened for an adjustable period. The system can also be made to operate at fixed intervals, regardless of the charge on the capacitor. <IMAGE>
