A system for creating an oxidation reduction potential (ORP) in water employs a plurality of ozone supply units housed in separate enclosures. The ozone supply units feed into a manifold that contains a plurality of fluid paths and has one or more ozone intake ports. The ozone intake ports are fluidically coupled to one or more ozone output ports of each ozone supply unit. The manifold includes a plurality of flow switches configured to transmit control signals to one or more controllers of each ozone supply unit in response to sensing a flow of water through the fluid paths in order to cause the ozone supply units to generate ozone. The manifold also includes a plurality of fluid mixers that are fluidically coupled to the ozone intake ports and configured to introduce the ozone generated by the ozone supply units into the water flowing through the fluid paths.

A system may include a nanobubble generator that uses a shearing force applied by a fluid received through a fluid inlet and a negative pressure applied to an outlet by a pump to provide a vacuum-assisted shear flow nanobubble generator system. In some implementations, the system may include a nanobubble generator including a porous component including a chamber coupled to receive a gas and including a surface having a plurality of gas-permeable openings. The nanobubble generator may include an inlet and an outlet on opposing sides of the porous component to direct the fluid across the openings. The system may include a pump to apply a negative pressure to the outlet of the nanobubble generator. The negative fluid pressure and the fluid flow across the openings cooperate to form nanobubbles at low injected gas pressures, increasing the efficiency of production of nanobubble solutions with pressure sensitive gasses, such as ozone.

A transportable system for generating aqueous ozone solution includes a wheeled frame and an aqueous ozone solution supply unit that is coupled to the wheeled frame. The aqueous ozone solution supply unit is configured to produce an aqueous ozone solution onsite by generating and injecting ozone into water received from an onsite water source. The transportable system further includes an outer enclosure configured to surround at least a portion of the wheeled frame and configured to contain the aqueous ozone solution supply unit. The outer enclosure is also configured to store one or more external components for the aqueous ozone solution supply unit and one or more cleaning accessories when the aqueous ozone solution supply unit is being transported via the wheeled frame.

A pesticide residue removal device for a refrigerator, and a refrigerator are provided. The pesticide residue removal device includes: an ozone generator configured to generate ozone; an ozone water container configured to store water therein, where the ozone water container communicates with the ozone generator, so that ozone is dissolved into water of the ozone water container to obtain ozone water; and an atomizer communicating to the ozone water container, receiving and atomizing the ozone water, and supplying the ozone water to a storage space of the refrigerator. The generated ozone water is atomized to fully fill the entire storage compartment of the refrigerator to achieve effective pesticide residue removal and sterilization; ozone water can be prepared on demand to reduce waste; and people are well prevented from getting harmed at an excessive ozone concentration.

A vortex flow inducer has inducer body with an interior end, an outer end and a length extending there between, and a longitudinal axis extending between the interior and the outer ends. A flow passage extends between the interior and outer ends of the inducer body. The flow passage has an inlet at the outer end and an exit at the interior end. The flow passage is swept latterly toward a side of the inducer body in a direction from the outer end toward the interior end such that the exit is latterly offset from the longitudinal axis. The interior end of the inducer body has a concave curvature. The swept flow passage and the curved interior end induce a vortex flow in a fluid flowing through the flow passage as it exits the flow passage and into a flow passage of a conduit the that extends at an angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the inducer body.

An ultra-fine bubble-containing liquid generating apparatus (UFB-containing liquid generating apparatus) includes a dissolving unit that generates a gas dissolving liquid and an ultra-fine bubble generating unit that generates ultra-fine bubbles in the gas dissolving liquid. Additionally, the UFB-containing liquid generating apparatus includes a temperature controlling unit that controls at least one of temperatures of the dissolving unit and the ultra-fine bubble generating unit such that the temperature of the ultra-fine bubble generating unit is equal to or lower than the temperature of the dissolving unit.

A manufacturing apparatus for a solidified matter of an ultra-fine bubble (UFB)-containing liquid includes: a UFB generating unit that generates the UFB-containing liquid; and a cooling unit that generates the solidified matter of the UFB-containing liquid by cooling the UFB-containing liquid. The cooling unit cools the ultra-fine bubble-containing liquid such that a first solidified portion and a second solidified portion at a lower ultra-fine bubble concentration than that of the first solidified portion are formed in the solidified matter.
