Abstract: An apparatus for promoting the efficient use of gases dissolved in a liquid by limiting the amount of off-gassing or evaporation from the liquid. The apparatus is a distribution/retention plate, may be utilized in a portable food washing system. The food washing system is a portable unit having a treatment chamber with an access door for the placement of food products on a loading plate. A food product is placed in the chamber and sprayed with ozonated water containing diffuse concentrations of ozone which reacts with and destroys organic contaminants on the food product. The distribution/retention plate is located at the bottom of the treatment chamber, and divides the treatment chamber from a reservoir and controls the rate of ozone off-gassing from the reservoir, thereby increasing ozone concentration in the water in the reservoir. In an alternative embodiment, the distribution/retention plate is utilized in an automatic dishwashing system.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for promoting the efficient use of gases dissolved in a liquid by limiting the amount of off-gassing or evaporation from the liquid is disclosed. The apparatus and method is a distribution/retention plate, shown in a preferred embodiment as installed in a portable food washing system.

Abstract: This invention relates to a unique apparatus and method for promoting the efficient use of gases dissolved in a liquid by limiting the amount of off-gassing or evaporation from the liquid. The apparatus and method is a distribution/retention plate, shown in a preferred embodiment as installed in a portable food washing system. The food washing system is a portable unit having a treatment chamber with an access door for the placement of food products on a loading plate. A food product is placed in the chamber and sprayed with ozonated water containing diffuse concentrations of ozone which reacts with and destroys organic contaminants on the food product. The apparatus of the present invention is a distribution/retention plate located at the bottom of the treatment chamber. The distribution/retention plate divides the treatment chamber from a reservoir and controls the rate of ozone off-gassing from the reservoir, thereby maximizing ozone concentration in the water in the reservoir.
