Apparatus for Introducing an Agent Into a Liquid or Gas at a Controlled Rate
20200331779 · 2020-10-22 ·

The present invention provides an agent dispenser for use in introducing an agent into a fluid where the agent is miscible with such fluid. The agent dispenser comprises a hollow casing constructed of a material having a coefficient of cubical expansion that differs from the coefficient of cubical expansion of the fluid. At least one opening is provided in the hollow casing for permitting the flow of the fluid to and from the interior of the hollow casing. The opening is provided with a tube sealed in the opening, one end of the tube being contained within the hollow casing and the second end of the tube being exterior to the hollow casing for communication with the surrounding fluid. The second end of the tube is provided with a filter membrane having a defined pore size to prevent any debris which may be present in the fluid from blocking the second end or entering the hollow casing. The dispenser contains the agent and the agent is introduced into the fluid through fluid drawn into and expelled from said dispenser as a result of variations in the internal pressure of the dispenser resulting from thermal expansion and contraction of the dispenser and its contents caused by variations in the temperature of the fluid surrounding the dispenser.
