  • Patent number: 12226538
    Abstract: An aqua-ozone hygienization system is disclosed, including a tank configured to hold an item for treatment. The system enables user selection between three hygienization methods: a non-wetting atomized mist for deodorization, a wetting spray for disinfection, or an immersion for comprehensive purification, deodorization, and disinfection. A platform within the tank forms a water reservoir beneath it and provides a top surface for item placement. The system includes an electrochemical generator that produces ozonated concentrate liquid from water, supplied by a circulating pump drawing from the reservoir. A nozzle connected to the electrochemical generator is switchable between dispensing the ozonated concentrate liquid as either an atomized mist or spray. During operation, the liquid is either misted or sprayed onto the item, or accumulates on the platform to immerse the item, depending on the selected treatment method.

  • Patent number: 12171914
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method of deodorizing air using aqueous ozone as a catalyst. Water is delivered to an electrochemical ozone generator which forms aqueous ozone gas, oxygen gas, and hydrogen gas. The first treatment stage oxidizes airflow extracted from a surrounding environment by combining the airflow with the aqueous ozone gas, oxygen, and hydrogen forming an oxidized airflow. A second stage deodorizes the oxidized airflow to form a deodorized airflow with hydroxide molecules that are created by combining the oxidized airflow with ultraviolet light, titanium oxide particles, and sintered columnar manganese dioxide particles. Residual aqueous ozone gas is converted to oxygen by interaction with the titanium oxide particles and the sintered columnar manganese dioxide particles. The deodorized airflow is vented back to the surrounding environment with ozone gas at or below the human-safe permissible level.

  • Patent number: 11597665
    Abstract: A disinfection system device for producing ozone water directly in a water pipe system contains an electrolytic tap water ozonation generator and holder. The electrolytic tap water ozonation generator includes at least one anode sheet and at least one cathode sheet. The holder includes a base, and the base has a locking portion, an inflow orifice, an outflow orifice, a connection interface, and a damping valve. A flow switch is mounted above the base and has an intake, and a discharge orifice of the flow switch is communicated with the outflow orifice. A top of the base is connected with one of two lids, the other lid is connected with the first socket and a second socket, and the other lid accommodates a control panel. The number of the anode sheet(s) is n which is a natural number and n?1. The number of the cathode sheets is n+1.

  • Patent number: 9757697
    Abstract: A spray atomizing ozone water generating apparatus with gas storage ability includes a gas-water mixing chamber with atomizing water nebulizer, a delay circuit, as well as a tap water inlet valve and an ozone water outlet valve controlled by the delay circuit. Because the mixer has ozone storage ability, atomizing water nebulizer will atomize tap water sufficiently, ozone water generating apparatus according to the invention can thus produce super high concentration ozone water having a concentration more than 30 ppm.

  • Patent number: 9248208
    Abstract: A device for sterilizing an ice machine using ozone gas from an electrolytic ozone generator includes a pure water tank (2), a pure water refilling device (1), and the electrolytic ozone generator (3). The pure water tank (2) is connected to a gas-feeding solenoid valve (4) and a gas-discharging solenoid valve (5). The gas-discharging solenoid valve (5) is connected to a reducing carbon tank (6), which is connected to a vent (10). The gas-feeding solenoid valve (4) is connected to a tee pipe (11-4) of the ice machine (11). The tee pipe (11-4) is connected to a water pump (11-2) in an ice-machine water tank (11-1) and an ice-machine evaporator (11-3) through loop piping. A controlling circuit board (7) is connected to power source (8), and further connected to the electrolytic ozone generator (3), the gas-feeding solenoid valve (4), the gas-discharging solenoid valve (5), and a motherboard (11-6).

  • Publication number: 20120097619
    Abstract: A method for keeping ozone of high concentration while turning on an electrolysis-type ozone device is provided with an ozone generator, a pure water tank, a pipe, another pipe, the other pipe, an ozone gas delivery pipe, and a DC power supply that provides electricity for the ozone generator and the controlling valve. When the ozone generator is turned off for a period, the DC power supply continues providing a half-loaded current for the ozone generator to operate; wherein, the half-loaded current is half smaller than a full-loaded current. When a predetermined time is reached, the DC power supply instantly offers the full-loaded current to the ozone generator, thereby triggering the ozone generator to automatically operate. The method automatically turns on the ozone generator to produce new ozone gas after the ozone device is turned off and stops discharging the ozone gas or the ozone water.
