Aerator or Airpower in Rain Shower Head – Part 1

Water saving technology can not only save water loss, energy conservation and environmental protection, but also save money. It can also improve the shower experience at the same time. Sprinkler water-saving technology mainly works in two places, one is the bubbler at the outlet, which is more common, such as the bubbler of the faucet, and the other is the outlet of the sprinkler.

Let’s first study why the bubbler can save water.

When you go to buy a shower, many of the guides will tell you that their shower has water-saving technology, and will let you have a look at the honeycomb foaming device at the outlet of the product. In fact, there is nothing wrong with what the shopping guide said. The honeycomb foamer of the shower can save water. When the water flows out, the honeycomb foamer can fully mix with the air to form a foaming effect, making the water flow softer and won’t splash everywhere. After wetting clothes and trousers, the same amount of water can flow for a longer time and the utilization rate of water will be higher, Therefore, the effect of water saving can be achieved.

Another part of the water saving function of the sprinkler is the water surface of the sprinkler. High quality shower surface, the use of pressurization technology, when the water pressure is not enough, the shower will automatically increase, maintain the stability of water.

Air injection type, the biggest advantage is water saving, soft. With the function of air injection, the shower is rich in bubbles, which makes the water more smooth and comfortable. At the same time, it also has the effect of pressurization, which makes the shower feel better. But this way of water pressure is higher, if the water pressure can not meet the requirements, in fact, it is not different from the ordinary way of water. In addition, not all of the standard version of the products will have good suction effect, some even no effect, which has a great relationship with the technical strength of the shower manufacturers, so the best way to choose is to try the water.

Generally, in the center, back or handle of the shower, there are some small holes which are obviously different from the water outlet, which are called Wen style holes. When the water in the shower passes through these small holes, the air enters the shower through the small holes. When the air enters the shower and mixes with the water, it will hiss because of the vibration. At this time, the water in the shower mixes water and air. This technology comes from the venturi effect, which simply means mixing the air into the water stream to make the water softer, more water-saving and very comfortable. Generally speaking, air injection technology is to inject air while water flows, so that there is water and air in a certain space. How can this effect be achieved? This involves a venturi effect. The principle of Venturi effect is that when the wind blows through the barrier, the air pressure near the upper end of the lee side of the barrier is relatively low, resulting in adsorption and air flow. Let’s go back to the problem of shower. Let’s assume that the water flows into the interior of the shower, and the diversion pipe becomes thinner and thicker, and the water flow is blocked. At this time, the venturi effect is produced. Let’s assume that there is a small hole above the small pipe, and the air pressure near the small hole will become very low. If the water flow rate is fast enough, there may be an instantaneous vacuum state near the small hole, Because of the low air pressure in this area, the air from outside will be sucked in to achieve air injection. In the vicinity of the shower injection hole, the air will be injected in a pulse way, and each injection will cause a hindrance to the water flow, so as to achieve the intermittent effluent effect.
