Publication number: 20210347624Abstract: A liquid dispensing system comprises a container enclosing a chamber. A flexible bag in the chamber contains a first liquid. First and second conduits are contained in the chamber. The first conduit connects the chamber to an outlet port in the container were the second conduit connects the bag to the first conduit. A supply source introduces a pressurized second liquid into the chamber. The first conduit serves to direct an exiting flow of the second liquid from the chamber to the outlet port, with the pressurized second liquid serving to collapse the bag and expel the first liquid contained therein via the second conduit to the first conduit for mixture with the exiting flow of the second liquid. The second conduit lacks flow restrictions, such as metering orifices or the like.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2021Publication date: November 11, 2021Applicant: GATE CFV SOLUTIONS, INC.Inventors: John NEWTON, Jacob LOCKWOOD, Michael CHENEY, Dustin HARTSFIELD, Rory PAWL, Peter BROOKE, Gillian CALLAGHAN
