Hydrophore

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A hydrophore (pronounced as hi-dro-fore) is an instrument for obtaining samples of water (as in a river, lake, or ocean) from any desired depth'.[1]

A hydrophore system is used in tall buildings and marine environments to pump, store and supply fresh or grey water. Such a system will consist of one or more chambers with valves, sensors and pipework.

Often under pressure and in combination with a calorifier, hydrophore chambers can provide hot or cold fresh or sea water to a ship in a controlled manner, and provide additional regulatory measures, such as temperature and pressure control.
