DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE SUBJECT TECHNOLOGY

(8) Examples of the embodiments of the presented invention of the gas-saturated liquid generator, in particular with hydrogen, oxygen or ozone, are stated in FIGS. 1 to 7.

(9) FIGS. 1 to 3 show by way of example the optimal design of the gas-saturated liquid generator with a bell 6 having a dome-shaped form. The presented gas-saturated liquid generator is formed by a vessel 1 for liquid 2, a tube 3 for supplying gas and a driving equipment 4 with a mixer 5. In the vessel 1 in the area for the saturated liquid 2, a hollow bell 6, which prevents sucking air from the area above the liquid 2 surface, is located. The bell 6 is in its upside down position and the mixer 5 is located in the area covered by this bell 6. If the saturated liquid 2 is present in the vessel 1, the whole bell 6 is located under its surface. The driving equipment 4 of the mixer 5 is located above the vessel 1, while the mixer 5 is located on a shaft 9 projecting from the driving equipment 4, off the vertical axis of the bell 6. In this embodiment, the mixer 5 is provided with a foaming spring 7 in its bottom end part. In its upper part, the bell 6 has a drain hole 8 for venting air accumulated under the bell during immersion above the surface of the saturated liquid 2, and is also provided with a pass-through opening 10 for the shaft 9 of the mixer 5. FIG. 2 represents a top view of the generator body and FIG. 3 represents the bottom view. The dome-shaped form of the bell 6 enables its easy cleaning and efficient venting the accumulated air during immersion at the highest point of the bell 6 body above the liquid 2 surface by the drain hole 8. At the same time, it represents the optimal version of the formed vortex in the area of the bell 6 cavity 14.

(10) FIG. 4 represents the version of the generator where the bell 6 has a cone shape and is provided with the pass-through opening 10 for the shaft 9 of the mixer 5. The driving equipment 4 is located above the vessel 1 and the mixer 5 is situated in the cavity 14 of the bell 6. When submerging the bell 6 body under the liquid 2 surface, the air accumulated in the bell 6 area is gradually pressed out by the saturating gas which accumulates at the top of the dome-shaped cavity 14 of the bell 6.

(11) FIG. 5 alternatively depicts a generator where the bell 6 has a cylindrical shape and the drain hole 8 for venting air in its top part in this embodiment. The accumulated air is pressed to the highest point of the bell 6 and escapes using the drain hole 8 for venting the air above the liquid 2 surface. The bell 6 body in this alternative embodiment provides an area with the largest cavity 14 volume for the formed vortex.

(12) Another example of the embodiments of the presented invention is represented by a generator in FIG. 6. The vessel 1 of the generator is provided with the pass-through opening 10 for the shaft 9 of the mixer 5 in its bottom part. The bell 6 has a cylindrical shape with the drain hole 8 in its upper part. The driving equipment 4 is located outside the bottom vessel 1 part in this exemplary embodiment. With respect to the absence of the pass-through opening 10 for the shaft 9 of the mixer 5 in the bell 6 body, easier and safer bell 6 handling is enabled, including its maintenance and cleaning.

(13) As can be seen in FIG. 7, a gas-saturated liquid generator where the bottom vessel 1 part is provided with an inwardly protruding bulge 11 is depicted in this alternative embodiment. The mixer 5 is provided with a magnetic carrier 12. Together with this magnetic carrier 12, it is located rotatably on the protrusion formed by the bulge 11. Outside the vessel 1, a magnet 13 is also located in the bulge 11 area to secure the movement of the magnetic carrier 12. The driving equipment 4 is located below the bulge 11 and the magnet 13 is fastened to the shaft 9 projecting from the driving equipment 4. As well as in the previous example, also here the absence of the opening 10 for the shaft 9 of the mixer 5 in the bell 6 body enables easier and safer bell 6 handling, including its maintenance and cleaning. The mixer 5 body is easily removable for its possible replacement or cleaning.

(14) By way of illustration, we present the mixer 5 speed that reaches 100 rpm. Greater efficiency is reached at the speed of 3,000 rpm and more. By rotating the mixer 5, a vortex causing a negative pressure helping to draw in the saturating gas and retain it under the area of the bell 6 is formed in the area below the bell 6 which results in continuous liquid 2 saturation with gas in the form of micro and nano bubbles.

(15) The presented invention has a number of versions in particular with respect to the combination of the bell 6 shape, mixer 5 location not only in the vessel 1 area but also outside it, use of the foaming spring 7, the number of drain holes 8 and the number of tubes 3 for the supply of the saturating gas. Their mutual combinations can affect the resulting efficiency of saturating the liquid 2 with gas.

(16) The drain hole 8 for venting the air above the liquid 2 surface can be, by the way of example, provided with a check valve preventing back-suction of air below the bell 6 area. The back suction of air can be avoided by keeping a sufficiently high surface level of the fluid 2 above the drain hole 8 for venting air when the liquid 2 surface is exemplarily higher than 5 mm. It is understood that the individual implementations of the solution described here are represented for illustrative purposes not as limitations of the invention to enumeration of the embodiment examples given here.

(17) The generator according to the invention can be used for production of liquid saturated with gas, in particular with hydrogen, oxygen or ozone for domestic use and as a portable device.
