How does the fish tank oxygen rod work, how does the fish tank oxygen pump work?

The principle of the oxygen pump is to press the air into the water, so that the oxygen in the air is in full contact with the water, so that the oxygen is integrated into the water, so as to increase the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water body, so as to ensure the growth needs of aerobic organisms.

Now there are 2 main types of aeration pumps for fish tanks:

1. It is to use a water pump (often a sinking bottom pump placed at the bottom of the fish tank) to pump the water at the bottom of the tank to the water surface, and then let the water come into contact with the air when falling, and dissolve part of the oxygen before falling into the fish tank. The splash that occurs when the water falls can also act as a stirring surface.

2. The air pump is used to directly pump the air to the bottom of the water, and the porous material is used to distribute the air flow into a large number of fine air flows, so as to produce a large number of fine bubbles from the bottom of the fish tank to rise to oxygenate the water.

Extended information: Aquarium oxygen pumps, also known as aeration pumps, air pumps, aeration pumps, etc., are similar to the working principle of industrial aeration pumps, and the general power is small. The principle of the oxygen pump is to press the air into the water, so that the oxygen in the air is in full contact with the water, so that the oxygen is integrated into the water, so as to increase the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water body, so as to ensure the growth needs of aerobic organisms.

Because of its convenient and efficient use and low cost, oxygen pumps are widely used in modern fish farming.

1.

There are pros and cons to each of these two methods.

The running water and splashing water in scheme 1 are noisy, but filter material can be added below the water outlet to achieve oxygen enhancement and sewage filtration in the tank.

Option 2 has a good oxygenation effect and relatively low noise, but no filtration effect.

According to the size of the fish tank, choose an oxygen pump of different sizes, less than 50cm fish tank, you can use an oxygen pump, if you want to reduce the amount of inflation, you can make a small hole in the inflation pipe. (It's better to install a 3-in-1 filter, which can both oxygenate and filter, and ** is not expensive.) ）

Inside the oxygenation pump is a coil, through 50Hz 220V alternating current, using the principle of electromagnetic induction, the armature at one end of the coil will form a 50Hz push-pull movement, driving the air chamber of the air pump to suck and close, there are two one-way air valves above the air chamber, one only intakes the air and does not release the air, connecting the outside air, there is a filter sponge at the air inlet, when the gas volume is small, it is necessary to see if the sponge is dirty; The other is only the air outlet and not the air intake, which is connected to the air outlet of the air pump.

The opening time of the fish tank oxygen pump is generally judged according to the hypoxic state of the fish, and it is generally believed that it is best to keep it open, and the oxygen pump can be turned off if you feel noisy at night, but remember that no matter how long Zaoling is opened, the most important thing is to ensure that the fish tank is not hypoxic, and there is no fixed limit on the time.

Benefits of Using a Fish Tank Oxygen Pump:

1. It can increase the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water, and transport oxygen to every corner to avoid harm to fish due to insufficient oxygen. It is especially important for benches with seawater aquariums and water bodies that are not planted with aquatic plants;

2. Increase the air pressure in the water by aerating and make the water fluctuate, so as to achieve the purpose of removing harmful gases such as carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide dissolved in the water, and play a role in purifying water quality;

1. If we want to make our own fish tank aeration pump, we must first prepare a waterproof small fan, a small foam board, a few stainless steel wires, a few small wooden strips, and a power supply device for putting batteries.

2. Then we put the small fan on the foam board, draw the outermost contour line of the small fan with a pencil, cut off the foam inside the contour line with scissors, and then fix the small fan vertically in the foam board with stainless steel wire, put the power device outside the fish tank, connect it with the wire of the small fan, remember to wrap the connection with waterproof tape, so as to prevent leakage, and then add an appropriate amount of wooden strips to the foam board, so that half of the small fan is immersed in water, so that the water body and the air have a channel to exchange oxygen, In this way, a small homemade aeration pump is made.

Oxygen is needed for any living thing to survive, and life cannot survive without it. The same is true for fish, which are mainly obtained by absorbing dissolved oxygen in the water through the microvessels of the gills. A device that improves the dissolution of oxygen in water, this kind of equipment is also available on the market, but if you make it, you can save some costs, so how to make your own fish tank oxygen?

What are the functions of oxygen pumps? Let's take a look at the relevant knowledge.

1. How to make oxygen in a fish tank.

Prepare a storage box, the size of which is determined by the size of the fish tank, drill holes in the side with an electric drill, and then fill it with activated carbon. Place the bottle on the drilled side of the box and place the filter media inside the box. Flatten on the top, and then take two small storage boxes, the mouth is wide and the bottom is narrow, so that they can be stacked together, and the bottom is drilled, this hole should be slightly larger, in case the bottom drainage is blocked, it can be used as an emergency diversion, so as not to flow to the outside of the fish tank.

Appropriate amount of pebbles is used to grow hydroponic plants. Large pebbles are paved on the top layer to prevent the water from washing away the small pebbles. Hydroponic plants are planted in small storage boxes with pebbles.

Place another small storage box on top of the larger media box. A layer of filter cotton is laid inside as a secondary filter for impurities in the water, so that the homemade fish tank filter box is ready.

2. What are the functions of oxygen pumps?

1. It can increase the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water and transport oxygen to every corner of the fish tank to avoid harm to fish due to insufficient oxygen. This is especially important for seawater aquariums and water bodies that are not planted with aquatic weeds.

2. Increase the air pressure in the water by inflating the oxygen pump, so that the water body will fluctuate, and the harmful gases such as carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide dissolved in the water can be removed homeopathically, and the water quality can be purified.

3. When the oxygen pump is turned on, the water body will flow to avoid the phenomenon of stratification of the upper and lower water temperatures in the aquarium. When the thermostat is used in winter, the convection of the water disperses the heat energy evenly.

4. Due to the increase of oxygen in the water, the activity of aerobic bacteria is intensified, which can quickly decompose harmful substances in the water and improve the water environment.

5. When the oxygen pump is working, bubbles will be formed to spray out of the exhaust nozzle and float upwards from the lower layer of the water tank, which enhances the dynamic melody of the aquarium and improves the ornamental value of the aquarium.

What is the principle of the fish tank inflator pump? Brother Yao will disassemble it today and see what is inside.

The principle is very simple, it is an electromagnet, when the electromagnet coil is energized, the electromagnet produces a magnetic force, the iron sheet is sucked, and the leather bowl is moved, and the normally closed contact is also driven to disconnect, so that the electromagnet coil is de-energized, the electromagnet loses its magnetic field, and the iron sheet automatically springs back to its original position under the action of the spring, and at the same time the normally closed contact is closed, the coil is energized, and the electromagnet produces a magnetic force, and the iron sheet is sucked in, so that the cycle starts again and again, and constantly drives the leather bowl to move, complete the inhalation and exhaust, and the exhaust air is sent into the fish tank water through the pipeline. It plays the role of oxygenation.
