  • Patent number: 11958091
    Abstract: Fluid delivery devices (114), systems (100), and methods are disclosed. A fluid delivery device (114) includes a body (115), a solution flow path (144), and a flush flow path (166). The solution flow path and the flush flow path are defined at the body. The solution flow path extends from a solution inlet (116), defined at the body, to a solution outlet (146), also defined at the body. The solution flow path includes a cross channel (148), an inlet channel (150), and an outlet channel (152). The inlet channel extends from the solution inlet to the cross channel. The outlet channel extends from the cross channel to the solution outlet. The flush flow path extends from a flush inlet (118), defined at the body, to a flush outlet (120), also defined at the body. The solution outlet fluidly connects the solution flow path to the flush flow path.

  • Patent number: 9290884
    Abstract: The invention refers to a dosing apparatus (1) for dosing a composition (31), comprising: at least one box (2) for keeping the composition (31) or a capsule (43) containing the composition (31), a solution reservoir (3) for preparing a composition solution (4) with a pre-defined concentration of the composition (31) in solution, wherein the composition solution (4) with said pre-defined concentration of the composition (31) in solution can be further used as a use solution (34), at least one spray means (5) coupled to the box (2) for bringing the composition (31) being in the box (2) into contact with a solvent liquid, such that an amount of the composition (31) dissolves and the thus resulting composition solution (4) flows into the solution reservoir (3), at least one spray line (10), for feeding the spray means (5) with the solvent liquid, a supply line (6) comprising a liquid connection (7), for supplying fresh liquid, preferably water, to the solution reservoir (3), measuring means (14) for measuring the

  • Patent number: 6237807
    Abstract: The invention relates to a dosing apparatus with a container having a charging hole for a refill bag with a liquid in the top part, and an outlet in the bottom part. An opening device for the refill bag is fitted above the outlet. A connector leads from the outlet to a downstream pump. A chamber with a level sensor is arranged underneath the reservoir. The reservoir and the chamber are configured so as to be liquid tight, for supplying the liquid without a refill bag. A dosing pump is integrated within the dosing apparatus. A dosing conduit leads from the pump to a point of usage outside the dosing apparatus, and a return conduit leads to the integrated container.
