Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a system for generating nanobubbles in a fluid in which plants or fish are located, comprising at least one nanobubble generator for generating nanobubbles and increasing the amount of dissolved gas; at least two air pumps for controlling the generation of nano bubbles and automatically and periodically cleaning the nano bubble generator or other components; and a fluid quality monitoring system for displaying the measured parameters of dissolved oxygen, pH value, conductivity, water body temperature, environment temperature and the like. When the nano bubbles are generated by using air or oxygen or ozone, the system of the invention has application potential for promoting plant growth, increasing the germination rate of seeds, increasing the survival rate and growth rate of freshwater fish or marine fish, and the generated ozone nano bubbles can reduce bacteria or algae in the water medium for plant or fish culture.
Background
Oxygen is an essential element for the respiration of organisms. Plants absorb oxygen through stomata in the leaves and roots, while fish absorb oxygen through gills. Plants consume more oxygen at higher temperatures due to the increased respiration rate of the root tissue. The respiration rate of the roots may double for every 10 degrees celsius rise in temperature, up to 30 degrees celsius. If the dissolved oxygen in the water is not sufficient, as in the case of hydroponic plants, the energy released from the respiration process will be suppressed for root growth and nutrient absorption. Also, fish need more oxygen to breathe at high temperatures. When the dissolved oxygen level in the water drops below 5.0 mg/liter, the fish will be stressed. The consumption of oxygen by plants and fish is higher at higher temperatures. When oxygen is depleted, the growth of hydroponic plants and fish will be inhibited.

CN102657887A discloses a disinfection method of soilless culture nutrient solution, which comprises introducing micro-nano ozone bubbles into the soilless culture solution to sterilize the nutrient solution. The method combines the sterilization effect of ozone with the use of a micro-nano bubble generating device to dissolve the ozone into the nutrient solution to kill bacteria and other organic matters and increase the dissolved oxygen in the nutrient solution.
Disclosure of Invention

When air or oxygen or ozone is used to generate nanobubbles, dissolved oxygen in an aqueous medium for plants or fish can be increased. When the nanobubble generator of the present invention is used in the nutrient water tank of a planting system, the growth rate of plants may be higher in comparison. When the nanobubble generator of the present invention is used in the nutrient water tank of a planting system, a higher plant growth rate can be obtained. When the nanobubble generator of the present invention is used in a fish tank, the survival rate and growth rate of freshwater fish or seawater fish are higher. The use of air nanobubbles may increase the germination rate of plants. When nano bubbles are generated using ozone gas, the stable ozone nano bubbles in the water can be sterilized, for example, to reduce the content of bacteria or algae in an aqueous medium for plants or fishes. Thus, the system of the present invention has potential for application in agriculture and fisheries.
The invention and the prior art respectively lie in: the invention leads the bubbles on the surface of the micropore or the micro slit to be subjected to strong separating force by means of introducing the fluid into the gas outlet component with the micropore or the micro slit to reduce the pressure of the surface of the component near the micropore or the micro slit so as to generate micro bubbles or even nano bubbles, thus the gas can be introduced into the nano bubble generator by using relatively low gas pressure, for example, only using normal pressure; the invention further disperses the bubbles generated by the fluid inlet passing through the air outlet component with micropores or micro slits through the rough component arranged at the fluid outlet so as to generate more uniform nano bubbles; the air pump of the present invention has a function of automatic periodic cleaning, and can periodically remove any dirt on the surfaces of the components, particularly the nanobubble generator and the rough components, such as any undissolved aggregated particles in the nutrient aqueous medium of plants or fishes or metabolic wastes of plants attached to the surfaces thereof.

Within this control system 301, electronics unit 302 includes various electronic components, such as a 24V power supply, relays, a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) to control the operation of nanobubble generator 601, pump 304, pump 306, corona discharge ozone generator 303, and solenoid control valve 308. The check valve 309 is used to control the direction of the gas that generates the nano-bubbles by using air/oxygen or ozone gas generated by the corona discharge ozone generator 303 in the present invention. When air nanobubbles or oxygen nanobubbles are required to increase the dissolved oxygen in the fluid, a gas such as air or oxygen will be pumped through the pump 304 and the gas flow rate is controlled by the gas flow meter 305.

In the present invention, the fluid quality monitoring system 501 with the liquid crystal display panel 502 is used to display the measured parameters of dissolved oxygen, pH, conductivity, water temperature and ambient temperature. Dissolved oxygen probe 504 is connected to the electronic board of fluid quality monitoring system 501 to measure the concentration of dissolved oxygen in the fluid from about 0mg/L to about 100mg/L. The pH probe 505 is connected to the electronic board of the fluid quality monitoring system 501 to measure the pH in the fluid from about 1 to about 14. The conductivity probe 506 is connected to an electronic board of the fluid quality monitoring system 501 to measure conductivity, which is about 5 μ S/cm to about 200,000 μ S/cm.

The control experiment was performed in an environment with the same nutrient solution conditions without using a nanobubble generator. The dissolved oxygen in the nanobubble system and the control system exceeds 7ppm and 3-5ppm, respectively. Using the nutrient solution containing nanobubbles, the germination rate of the seeds of the flowers in the ice leaf day was 30%, while the germination rate of the seeds of the nutrient control group was 22%.

The dissolved oxygen in the nutrient water tank using the nanobubble system and the control system exceeds 7ppm and 6ppm, respectively. Watercress grown in both systems were harvested 30 days after sowing. The harvested water dishes grown using the nanobubble system of the present invention weigh about 20% more than water dishes that were not grown using the nanobubble system of the present invention.
