- Nota Adicional1
- A heating device (preferably controlled by a thermostat) should be installed inside the gauge if there is a possibility that water might freeze in the float chamber during the winter. This will prevent damage to the float and float chamber and will enable rain to be recorded during that period. A small heating element or electric lamp is suitable where a mains supply of electricity is available, otherwise other sources of power may be employed.
- Contexto
- The rain passes into a float chamber containing a light float. As the level of the water within the chamber rises, the vertical movement of the float is transmitted, by a suitable mechanism, to the movement of a pen on a chart or a digital transducer. By suitably adjusting the dimensions of the collector orifice, the float and the float chamber, any desired chart scale can be used.
- Float chamber carburetors: (…) Operation of: throttle valves, main and idle jets, power enrichment systems, float chambers, discharge nozzles, accelerator pumps, mixture control systems, and altitude control.
