Patent number: 9095825Abstract: Fluid injection system for dispensing a solution into a fluid flow in a flow line, the fluid injection system including a storage tank having product to be dispensed therein; an inlet connection diverting fluid from the flow line into the tank; an outlet connection returning a mixture of fluid/product back into the flow line; a metering gauge in fluid communication with the inlet connection measuring water flowing into the tank; and a tank head connected to the storage tank and having multiple ports for connection to the inlet connection depending on whether the product to be dispensed is in liquid dry form. The inlet connection includes an inlet probe having an opening defined by an arc at a downstream side. The outlet connection includes an outlet probe having an opening having an angled cut facing downstream, such that a pressure differential is created between the inlet and outlet probes.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2013Date of Patent: August 4, 2015Assignee: EZ-FLO Injection Systems, Inc.Inventors: Dan Gilmore, Jeff Gilmore

Publication number: 20070185621Abstract: A system and method for controlling irrigation injection for controlling irrigation injection including the transmission of an irrigation injection data signal including an injection instruction. The injection instruction may be calculated from various irrigation data including, but not limited to, landscape zone, sun radiation, root depth, soil condition, irrigation efficiency, slope, evapotranspiration data, historical weather data, projected weather data, and any combinations thereof. The system and method may further include the monitoring of irrigation flow of water.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2006Publication date: August 9, 2007Inventor: Dan Gilmore

Patent number: 6805149Abstract: A chemical delivery system having a body defining a main fluid flow passage through which a fluid passes and a storage tank for holding a chemical. An inlet nozzle delivers a quantity of the fluid in the main fluid flow passage to the storage tank to be mixed with the chemical and an outlet nozzle returns a quantity of the mixed fluid to the main fluid flow passage.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2003Date of Patent: October 19, 2004Assignee: E-Z Flo Injection Systems, Inc.Inventor: Dan Gilmore

Publication number: 20030214132Abstract: A pipe connection fitting having at one end a tapered edge (1) which communicates at its base with tightening nut (2) which communicates with male pipe threads (3) which communicates with extension member (4) having an angle cut (6) with a flow port (5) through the center of the fitting. Positive differential pressure is created by installing a differential pressure fitting facing into the fluid stream of a flow line. Negative differential pressure is created by installing a differential pressure fitting facing away from the fluid stream of a flow line. Tubing connects the fittings to a pressure tank containing the fluid to be injected in the flow line. Fluid flow past the fittings in the flow line motivates flow from the flow line to the pressure tank and from the pressure tank back to the flow line. The fitting being made of rigid plastic or metal.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 22, 2003Publication date: November 20, 2003Applicant: E-Z Flo Injection Systems, Inc.Inventor: Dan Gilmore

Patent number: 6453935Abstract: A fluid injector made of pressure rated components that attach to a fluid flow line so that flow is transferred from the flow line, into the injection unit and back to the fluid flow line. The inlet flow is used to pressurize the storage tank and provide a solution to mix with injection solutions in the tank to provide an accurate preset or adjustable injection rate into the fluid flow line. Vent/proportioner ports provide back flow protection, prevent fluid from siphoning from the storage tank, provide an internal air release port and set injection ratios. A mixing control valve adjusts the injection ratios by mixing outgoing injection solutions with incoming fluid from the fluid flow line. Flexible bladders isolate one or more injection solutions within one storage container which are injected simultaneously at independent injection rates.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2001Date of Patent: September 24, 2002Assignee: E-Z Flo Injection Systems, Inc.Inventor: Dan Gilmore

Patent number: 5918621Abstract: An automatic pressure activated diverter valve with check valve action, made from pressure rated components, that provides flow from one or more independent flow lines to outside storage tank and back to flow line when the flow line is pressurized, without affecting unpressurized zones.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 1996Date of Patent: July 6, 1999Inventor: Dan Gilmore
