B01F21/221
Dispenser
An inline dispersal valve that can be used with or without a base. One embodiment includes a rotatable member that is rotatable from a fluid stream obstructing condition to an out-of-the-way condition to prevent fluid diversion into the dispersal valve. Another embodiment includes a lever handle for quickly setting the amount of fluid being diverted into the inline dispersal valve. Another embodiment includes an indicator that can be viewed from a position above the inline dispersal valve. Another embodiment includes a cap that can be secured or removed without the aid of tools. Another embodiment includes a clip that allows one to disassemble the inline dispersal valve for servicing. Another embodiment includes a dispensing valve that can be reversed and still properly divert fluid into a dispersant chamber. Another embodiment includes an inline dispersal valve with a bleed valve positioned to allow one to bring the air volume in the dispersant chamber to the proper level.
High throughput brine generating system
A brine generation system includes a tank having an upper opening configured for receiving salt crystals to fill the tank. A divider separates a tank volume into an upper portion adapted for holding salt crystals a lower portion adapted for holding a brine solution. The divider is adapted to resist movement of salt crystals into the lower portion but is permeable to allow the brine solution to fall into the lower portion. A fluid conduit disposed within the upper portion includes at least one water jet for injecting water in a direction towards the salt crystals. The tank further includes an outlet positioned in the lower portion of the tank for withdrawing brine.
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DOSING A DISSOLVABLE CHEMICAL TO WATER
A method of treating water includes directing a stream of water towards a lateral side of a water treatment substance body contained within a holder. The water stream serves to abrade the water treatment substance body, thereby to dose the water with the water treatment substance. Dosed water is thus formed. The dosed water is allowed to pass through at least one opening in the holder.
Sieve-like filter unit for cartridge-shaped receptacle
A sieve-like filter unit, especially for a cartridge-shaped receptacle, which is arranged on a connecting port/connector of the receptacle and is designed to withhold undissolved powder and/or solid particles present in the receptacle, comprising at least two openings each being composed of at least two connected part recesses, wherein each individual opening in its entirety is formed to be extending in a non-linear manner.
Brine generation system
A brine generation system includes a tank unit having a tank body and a divider which separates the tank into an upper portion for holding salt crystals and a lower portion for holding brine. The divider is adapted to resist the movement of salt crystals greater than a predetermined size and to permit the brine solution to pass from the upper portion through the divider to the lower portion by the effect of gravity. The divider includes a sump channel having an opening in communication with the upper portion of the tank unit. The sump channel is adapted to collect non-soluble particles greater than a predetermined size and permit the brine solution in the sump channel to pass therethrough to the lower portion of the tank unit. The sump channel is in communication with a sediment discharge port defined in the tank body.
Tank overflow pipe adjustable dechlorinating device
A dechlorinating device includes a mixing chamber having an inlet and an outlet, and the dechlorinating device is configured to receive a fluid. The dechlorinating device also includes a dechlorinating conduit disposed within the mixing chamber and a recirculation zone disposed within the mixing chamber and positioned between the dechlorinating conduit and the outlet. A dechlorinating system includes a storage tank, an overflow pipe in fluid communication with the storage tank, and the dechlorinating device in fluid communication with the overflow pipe. A method of dechlorinating includes providing the dechlorinating device and feeding the fluid to the inlet of the dechlorinating device.
APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PREPARING A DIALYSIS SOLUTION
The present invention relates to a device for preparing a dialysis concentrate or another fluid, wherein the device includes an inflow for the raw material for the dissolving of or mixing with a raw material located in a container that can be dissolved in the solvent or can be mixed with it and a container having a raw material to be dissolved by means of the solvent or miscible with the solvent, wherein the device has connection means for connecting to the container, characterized in that the device has a mixing unit that is self-regulating and a mixing line and a suction unit arranged in the mixing line and a mixing chamber, with the suction unit being able to be brought into fluid communication with the inflow for the solvent and, by means of a suction line, with the container connectable to the device, and with a return line downstream of the mixing chamber leading back to the container connectable to the device.
HAIR TREATMENT SYSTEM, TREATMENTS AND APPARATUS
A hand held shower head configured to deliver a continuous dose of water dispersed treatment from a water disintegratable treatment source, the shower head including: a hollow body having water inlet opening and water outlet, the water outlet defined by a perforated plate, and a mesh formation disposed within the hollow body between the water inlet opening and the perforated plate, wherein the water inlet opening, hollow body and perforated plate are configured to create in use a pressurised turbulent water flow within the hollow body prior to exiting through the perforated plate, whereby a water disintegratable tablet treatment source introduced into the hollow body prior to use, is then agitated by the turbulent water flow against the mesh in an abrading manner and thereby dispersed into the water flow exiting the perforated plate. A water disintegratable tablet comprising emulsifier, thickening agent, surfactants, oil and rheology modifier is also disclosed.
Portable solid product dispenser
A portable dispensing system for dispensing a solution of a fluid and a solid product includes a fluid line, a dispenser, and a cartridge. The fluid line includes a first and second fluid line ends and a fluid source connection at the first fluid line end. The dispenser is at the second fluid line end. The dispenser includes a body and a fluid outlet. The cartridge houses the solid product and includes a fluid inlet and a solution outlet. The cartridge is removably connected at the fluid inlet to the fluid outlet of the dispenser. The cartridge is configured to receive fluid from the fluid outlet of the dispenser such that fluid contacts the solid product housed in the cartridge and dissolves at least a portion of the solid product forming the solution. The cartridge is also configured to output the solution at the solution outlet.
FORMULATION DELIVERY SYSTEM HAVING A SOLID CHEMISTRY
A formulation delivery system configured for outdoor use. The formulation delivery system includes a cleaning composition comprising chlorine, wherein the composition is in a form of a solid chemistry, and an outdoor cleaning device that is a spray wand having the cleaning composition positioned within a dispensing cartridge housed within the outdoor cleaning device.
