Abstract: A linear oscillating water jet is capable of spraying in a linear oscillating fashion without deviating from a consistent linear path such that a resulting linear spray does not extend beyond a targeted area. Through the use of an internal turbine, energy from an incoming pressurized liquid is used to create rotational motion, which is subsequently converted into an oscillatory, back and forth linear motion by way of a rocker assembly that connects a nozzle assembly to the internal turbine. The oscillatory, linear motion of the rocker assembly is translated into a linear, back and forth rocking motion for the nozzle assembly.

Abstract: A chemical dispensing system including a rack based system that can hold a plurality of chemical dispensing containers. The chemical dispensing containers can make use of concentrates or hyper concentrates of chemicals allowing smaller capacity containers. The rack based system can include a modular rack that is configurable to hold a desired number of containers. Using the modular rack, the containers can be easily ganged together to increase capacity or build in redundancy for one or more of the chemicals through the configuration of a rack manifold constructed of individual manifold segments. Within the manifold, various flow paths can be linked or terminated between adjacent manifold segments and chemical containers.

Abstract: A system for controlling and monitoring the chemical usage in a car wash systems that form an aqueous cleaning solution by diluting a cleaning chemical concentrate in a process water stream to form. Level sensors are mounted to the bulk containers containing the chemical concentrate to measure and track the usage of the chemical concentrates. The usage data is collected and used to adjust flow rate controllers controlling the dilution of the concentrate into the process water stream. The system can be integrated into continuous processes where the aqueous cleaning solution is dispensed immediately after production and batch processes where the cleaning solution is stored temporarily before being dispensed onto a vehicle.

Abstract: A chemical dispensing assembly having injector assemblies that combine a solvent stream with a concentrate stream within a Venturi injector assembly to produce a chemical solution outlet stream. Each injector assembly has an interchangeable metering assembly that limits the flow of concentrate into the Venturi injector assembly to change the resulting concentration of the concentrate within the solution outlet stream. The chemical dispensing assembly also has a keyed connector system that prevents the connection of the wrong concentrate container to the wrong injector assembly.
