Appl. No.:

13/607170

Inventors:

Carl David Lutz - Windham NH, US
Jeffrey D. Booth - Andover MA, US
Donald J. Boudreau - Tewksbury MA, US

Assignee:

ELECTROLYTIC OZONE INC. - Wilmington MA

International Classification:

C02F 1/467

US Classification:

210 88, 210192, 210 97, 210 85

Abstract:

An apparatus has a hub including a water inlet for receiving source water, a water outlet for discharging ozonated water, and an interface between the water inlet and the water outlet. The apparatus also has a cartridge including an electrolytic cell for ozonating the source water. The electrolytic cell has a cathode, an anode comprising diamond, and a membrane between the cathode and the anode. The electrolytic cell is configured to flow source water through both the cathode and the anode. The cartridge further includes at least one cartridge port for removably coupling with the interface on the hub. The at least one cartridge port and the interface are configured to flow source water from the hub into the electrolytic cell and to flow ozonated water from the electrolytic cell into the hub.

Abstract:

Illustrative embodiments employ catholyte scrubbers to provide higher concentrations of ozone in ozonated water than was possible in prior art systems and methods. Moreover, some embodiments employ scrubbers to increase the efficiency of production of ozonated water by producing such higher concentrations of ozone in ozonated water using the same amount, or less, power than prior art systems and methods. Some embodiments employ scrubbers to enable production of water with higher concentrations of ozone, and/or ozonated water in which the concentration of ozone decays more slowly, as compared to prior art methods.
