A beverage aeration apparatus is used to generate air bubbles within a contained beverage, preferably wine, to enhance the overall visual appeal of the wine. The apparatus is also configured to improve the overall scent of the wine by providing contact with air, which stimulates the release of various fragrant tones contained within the wine. A pump connected to a hose provides a constant flow of air into the bottom of a wine glass, thus allowing that air to flow up through the wine and gather smells and scents contained within. The bubbles may be controlled to flow at different rhythms or rates to provide an interesting visual pattern for the user to observe. Furthermore, the apparatus may be configured to provide spray nozzles or tools to cause the wine to eject at various angles and pressures, thus providing a dazzling wine show within the wine glass.

An aerator for aerating water comprises a distribution system for distributing air below the water surface and a compressor with an air inlet and at least one air outlet. The compressor is configured to be placed below the water surface. The infiltration of water at the air inlet is prevented by an intake pipe with one open end above the water surface and the other open end has a watertight connection to the compressor. The distribution system has a watertight connection to the air outlet and, due to its nature or by at least one valve, can hold back water. The housing is in thermal contact with the water to cool the compressor. The compressor is a centrifugal compressor that comprises an impeller that is driven by a shaft that it is mounted on air bearings, magnetic bearings or both.

A water aeration system powers an air pump held in an encasement with a solar panel mounted directly or indirectly to the encasement or to the mounting pole supporting the encasement above a ground surface. An air conduit directs pumped air to one or more disc diffusers submerged in the body of water to be aerated. The disc diffuser(s) are supported by a floating platform that is suspended from a buoy or float so that the disc diffuser(s) are held at a desired depth below the water surface.

The aerator system incorporates a land-based or water-based floating solar activated water aeration system with integrated linear diaphragm air compressor and controller to provide improved oxygen addition into water. The system uses low voltage and an advanced controller with max power point tracking (MPPT) technique, which converts the solar panel photovoltaic low voltage DC to low voltage AC and allows power generated from each solar panel to be fully utilized.

The present invention provides modular devices and systems for infusing gas into a liquid and methods of manufacture and use thereof. In accordance with an embodiment, a modular device for infusing gas into a liquid is provided. The modular device comprises a plurality of microporous hollow fibers, and a cap covering open ends of the microporous hollow fibers. The cap is configured to receive a gas into an opening and to deliver the gas into the open ends of the microporous hollow fibers. The cap is further configured to removably mount the modular device to a fixture. A system for infusing gas into a liquid may include one or more of the modular gas infusion devices configured to be removably mounted to a fixture such that the microporous hollow fibers are within a hollow cavity. The hollow cavity includes a first opening configured to receive a liquid and a second opening configured to discharge the liquid infused with a gas. Because the system is modular, it is economical to manufacture, scale to different application requirements and to maintain.
