The basic principle of artificial wave making in water park equipment
During the summer, the entire nation is enveloped in sweltering heat. On one side, there’s the blazing sun, and on the other, a refreshing and clear pool, creating a picturesque summer scene. The pool’s lively atmosphere mirrors the soaring temperatures of the season.
The sea, with its allure and mystery, offers beautiful beaches and crashing waves, perfect for an afternoon of sunbathing. However, for those living inland, enjoying the sea isn’t always possible. This is where artificial wave pools in water parks come into play. They replicate the sea experience, making it a trendy activity that combines affection, romance, and joy. For investors, this demand represents a lucrative market, sparking a wave of construction booms nationwide.
Artificial wave pools are always the highlight of water amusement parks. Swimming in these pools offers the sensation of being embraced by the sea, making it an attractive draw for tourists. These pools are complex projects involving aerodynamics, wave mechanics, electrical control systems, and more. The design focuses on transmitting wave energy, creating deep water waves that are high and small, and shallow water waves that are large. The shape of the wave pool is crucial, as a well-designed trough shape facilitates wave resonance, propagation, and superposition, affecting the wave form. The same wave-making equipment can produce different wave sizes depending on the pool’s shape. Let’s explore how these artificial wave pools are created.
General Guangzhou Lanchao Water Park Equipment Co., Ltd. recommends air-style wave-making equipment to customers. This equipment boasts a simple structure, reliable use, easy maintenance, and no pollution. The air wave-making system primarily consists of an air chamber, fan, valve mechanism, air duct system or pressure accumulation type, and a control system.
Basic principles and steps of water pressure wave making:
1. The circulation system fills the reservoir to the desired water level.
2. Hydraulic chamber water replenishment: The electronic control system signals the water replenishment gate lifting mechanism. The electric hoist opens the gate, allowing the reservoir to replenish the hydraulic chamber. Once the water reaches the pre-selected pressure level, the measuring point signals the gate mechanism to close.
3. After releasing the water and closing the replenishment gate, the electronic control system signals the hydraulic release gate mechanism. The hydraulic cylinder system opens the release gate, allowing water to flow from the hydraulic chamber into the wave pool, forming a giant wave valley.
4. A few seconds after opening, the system instructs the gate mechanism to close.
5. Repeat steps 2, 3, and 4 to create the next wave.
6. The size and shape of the waves can be adjusted by changing the release frequency and water level in the pressure chamber. Various wave forms are possible, but practically, the pool size and wave attenuation suggest 2-4 waves are ideal. Vacuum and hydraulic type wave generators can produce waves up to 2-3 metres high.
