Breve Historial do Museu

Em 1920 foi criado o primeiro serviço destinado aos “trabalhos de desenho, arquivo, biblioteca e museu” na Companhia das Águas de Lisboa, no qual deveriam ser apresentados diversos tipos de bens relacionados com o abastecimento de água tais como canalizações, contadores e outros objectos. A Estação Elevatória a Vapor dos Barbadinhos sofreu uma adaptação decorrente da sua desactivação e foi destinada à instalação de serviços e do acervo já existente, tendo sido possível preservar as bombas e as máquinas a vapor. O Museu da Água inaugurou em 1987 com sede no núcleo instalado na Estação dos Barbadinhos, onde actualmente se mantém, e com dois outros núcleos, o Aqueduto e a Mãe D’Água das Amoreiras. O Reservatório da Patriarcal tornou-se o seu terceiro núcleo desde 1994.

EN FRANÇAIS

Destinée à l'elevation des eaux provenant du fleuve Alviela, jusqu'au réservoir Verónica et Jusqu'à la citerne du Monte, la station de pompage à vapeur Barbadinhos, inaugurée le 3 Octobre 1880, a permis d'augmenter considérablement le volume d'eau fourni à la ville de Lisbonne.

Son principal équipement, constitué de quatre machines à vapeur construites dans les ateliers de E. W. Windsor de Rouen, ont fonctionné jusqu'en 1928.

Les machines dont la vapeur était produite par cinq chaudières sont toutes du même genre: pistons verticaux à deux cylindres chacun, avec chemise à vapeur - système Woolf - d'expansion variable et de condensation.

ENGLISH

The steam Pumping Station of Barbadinhos, inaugurated in 1880, is held in a typically 19th century industrial building. The equipment was initially composed of three machines built at the E. W. Windsor factory in Rouen. They were two cylinders, with a steam shirt Woolf System, of variable expansion and condensation. Machines 1 and 2 were destined to elevate water to the Middle Area at 63 meters height; Machine 3 elevated water at 42 meters. In 1889, a fourth Machine of the same type was acquired serving both Middle and Low Areas. The main equipment, composed of four steam machines built by E.W.Windsor, was operating nonstop until 1928. The machines of the Woolf system were all of same type.

Destined to the elevation pf water from Alviela to thr reservoirs of Veronica and Monte, the Pumping Steam Station, due to the machinery and also due to its operating possibilities, constituted a major interest in the field of industrial archeology and is the pride of Water Museum today.
