A modular fountain assembly for controlling the temperature and flow of
viscous fluid with a melting point between ambient and approximately 150
degrees Fahrenheit is disclosed. The modular assembly for controlling the
heating and flow of fluid includes an enclosed controlling base and an
upper recirculation module having a detachable lower basin, one or more
modular tubular sections, a small high basin on top of the highest
tubular section, an Archimedes screw of a set pitch dimension to
facilitate the flow of the fluid from the lower reservoir to the small
high reservoir atop the tubular section or sections, and a series of
circular tiers atop each tubular section. The lower basin is attached to
the controlling base using mechanical or electro mechanical support
structures. The controlling base provides rotational force for the
Archimedes screw at variable rotational speeds to drive the fluid upward
within the modular tubes as well as a heating sub module. The lower basin
has an upper bowl and a lower pool of fixed set depth with an opening to
permit a drive shaft attach to the Archimedes screw. The circular base
controls the temperature of the fluid using a temperature probe
protruding from the lower base into the lower basin. The bottom modular
tube attaches to one or more vertical support structures that extends
from the controlling base thru the lower reservoir. The circular tiers
are held stationary between modular tube sections or between the highest
tubular section and the high basin.
