Abstract

See full text

A vacuum pump control apparatus for an evacuating-type waste water collecting system is disclosed. In the system, waste water discharged from houses and facilities is collected into a water collecting tank by vacuum sewer pipes provided with a negative pressure therein, and the waste water collected in the water collecting tank is discharged by a booster pump while the air in the water collecting tank is discharged by a vacuum pump. The vacuum pump control apparatus comprises a gas-liquid ratio detection arrangement for detecting the ratio of the amount of air to the amount of waste water to be collected into the water collecting tank, and a control system for regulating the operating time of the vacuum pump based upon the gas-liquid ratio detected by the gas-liquid ratio detecting arrangement, so that a target value of the gas-liquid ratio is recovered when it falls below the target value. By this apparatus, the gas-liquid ratio within the vacuum sewer pipes is kept to an ideal value to thereby prevent an air lock from forming in the vacuum sewer pipes.
