The present invention relates to the application of liquid active substances. The subject matter of the present invention is a system, a method and a computer program product for the application of an active substance concentrate from a replaceable cartridge in a diluted form onto a target object with the aid of a portable spray device, wherein important parameters of the spray process are exchanged between the cartridge and/or the spray device and/or an external computer system.

A coating apparatus for coating a perimeter surface of a pipeline. A frame selectively mounts a sprayer on the pipeline. The sprayer can spray fluid along a flow path in a spraying mode and preparation mode. In the preparation mode, a fluid diverter moves into the flow path to divert the fluid delivered from the sprayer away from the pipeline. In the spraying mode, the fluid diverter moves out of the flow path to permit the sprayer to coat the perimeter surface of the pipeline with a curable liquid. A vacuum system can draw a vacuum through the diverter to remove the fluid the sprayer sprays in the preparation mode. The flow path can be located in a spray shroud. The diverter can fluidly couple the vacuum system to the shroud interior in the spraying mode to remove overspray.

A plural component dispensing system 10 receives separate fluid components, mixes the components in a predetermined ratio, and dispenses the components as mixture. Each fluid component is supplied by a separate pump 12A, 12B to an individual variably controllable fluid regulator 14A, 14B. Each fluid component is supplied from its individual fluid regulator 14A, 14B through a flow meter 18A, 18B to a mixing device 20. The ratio of the components delivered to the mixing device 20 is controlled by the individual fluid regulators 14A, 14B based upon the flow rates measured by the flow meters 18A, 18B.

A fluid delivery system includes a conduit. The conduit is configured to deliver a fluid. The conduit further includes a first electrically conductive element configured to deliver electricity through a length of the conduit. The fluid delivery system further includes master hub disposed on a fluid delivery device. The fluid delivery system also includes at least one slave hub disposed on the conduit and communicatively coupled to the master hub.

A system for delivering an additive into a fluid stream is disclosed that addresses the issues of delivering a pressurized stream of a shear thickening or dilatant material which is commonly used for fire suppression. The system uses a positive displacement pump that is controlled to deliver the additive to a fluid stream in the correct ratio according to fluid flow rates. The system also incorporates an injection quill for delivering the additive to the fluid stream within a dispensing line. The injection quill includes an internal extension within its valve chamber, and the internal extension provides ports that allow for improved fluid flow of dilatant material.

The sprayer can spray fluid along a flow path in a spraying mode and preparation mode. In the preparation mode, a fluid diverter moves into the flow path to divert the fluid delivered from the sprayer away from the pipeline. In the spraying mode, the fluid diverter moves out of the flow path to permit the sprayer to coat the perimeter surface of the pipeline with a curable liquid. A vacuum system can draw a vacuum through the diverter to remove the fluid the sprayer sprays in the preparation mode. The flow path can be located in a spray shroud. The diverter can fluidly couple the vacuum system to the shroud interior in the spraying mode to remove overspray.

A substrate processing system capable of supplying a gas-dissolved liquid having a supersaturated amount of dissolved gas without generating large bubbles in a middle of a supply line is disclosed. The substrate processing system includes a control device configured to control an operation of a bubble generation device. The control device is configured to control at least one of a pressure regulator and a boost pump so that a pressure of a gas supplied to a gas-dissolved liquid generation device is smaller than a pressure of a liquid supplied to the gas-dissolved liquid generation device.

A plural component mixing system includes an automatic balance feature to balance the pressure of two or more components as they are mixed. The pressures or flow rates of the two components are monitored. If there is a difference in pressure or flow rate greater than a specified amount, a bleed valve is opened for a short period of time to balance the flows. A computer with a touch screen is used to set the pressure and flow rate differences that trigger the bleed, and to set the time period for the bleed.
