  • Patent number: 11952269
    Abstract: A system for generating aqueous ozone solution employs a variably controlled ozone generator and at least one pipe assembly for in-line mixing of ozone into water that is supplied to the system. The pipe assembly includes a first flow path for water to flow through. The first flow path includes one or more ozone intake ports that are fluidically coupled to the ozone generator. The pipe assembly further includes a second flow path fluidically coupled in parallel with the first flow path. The second flow path includes a control valve that selectively permits a portion of the water to flow through the second flow path to produce a negative pressure in the first flow path so that ozone is drawn into the first flow path through the one or more ozone intake ports and mixed into the water flowing through the first flow path.

  • Patent number: 11820684
    Abstract: A system for generating aqueous ozone solution (AOS) is disclosed. The system includes a system enclosure and a cradle mounted within the system enclosure. The cradle has a wall that defines separate compartments within the system enclosure, including a first compartment for electronic components and a second compartment for a fluid path extending from a water inlet to an AOS outlet. The first compartment contains an ozone generator and a relay mounted to the cradle. The fluid path within the second compartment includes a fluid mixer that is coupled to the ozone generator via one or more tubes extending across (e.g., over or through) the cradle wall that separates the first and second compartments. The fluid mixer is configured to inject ozone generated by the ozone generator into water received from a water source via the water inlet to produce AOS that is output via the AOS outlet.
