  • Patent number: 11484014
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling a concentration of dissolved oxygen in a volume (V) of water (W), wherein a device (1) for dissolving oxygen in water (W) is submerged in said volume (V) of water, wherein oxygen is injected by the device (1) with an adjustable flow rate into a main water stream (W?) sucked into a housing (100) of the device (1), and wherein the oxygen enriched main water stream (W?) is discharged by the device (1) out of the housing (100) of the device (1) into said volume (V) of water (W), and wherein a current concentration of oxygen dissolved in the sucked main water stream (W?) is measured with an oxygen probe (6) that is integrated into the housing (100) of the device (1), wherein said current concentration of dissolved oxygen is transmitted in a wireless fashion to a hand-held device (9) of an operator, and wherein the flow rate of the injected oxygen is controlled such that the measured current concentration of dissolved oxygen approaches a pre-defined reference value.

  • Patent number: 10994251
    Abstract: A device (1) for dissolving a gas (G) in water (W) is provided, and includes a housing (100) configured to be submerged into the water (W) with the housing (100) having at least one water inlet (101), a gas inlet (102) and at least one water outlet (103) for discharging gas enriched water out of the housing (100), a pump (5) in fluid communication with the at least one water inlet (10) for sucking water (W) from a surrounding of the housing (100), the pump configured to generate a main water stream (S?), and means for injecting the gas (G) supplied via the gas inlet (102) into the main water stream (S?). The device (1) includes a probe (6) configured to measure a concentration of the gas dissolved in water, and the probe (6) is arranged in the housing (100) of the device (1).
