Definitions
- the invention relates! a device for gas enrichment of fluids, a process for the production of gases enriched with gases, and the use of the above-mentioned device in human and veterinary medicine, pharmacy, food industry, cosmetics, environmental research, environmental technology and environmental industry.
- Aerobic life on Earth was and is a revolutionary step in the world revolution and began, among other things. with the help of oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon, water and light quanta.
- the preliminary stage to the appearance of life came about through the big bang as an existential natural process.
- the oxygen in the primordial atmosphere crystallized as an existential element and thus as the basis of life for all aerobes.
- Oxygen is a highly potent, vital element that is capable of, among other things. realize the energy generation via ATP in connection with the mitochondrial respiratory chain. Oxygen acts as an information carrier and has, among other things. a quantum effect.
- the object of the invention is to provide a device for
- Gas enrichment in fluids and a method using the above-mentioned device which can be produced or applied comparatively easily and inexpensively and enables effective gas enrichment, effectively meaning that both a high dissolved gas content in the fluid is achieved and this gas content remains in comparison for a long time in the course of time after the gas enrichment.
- the object of the invention is achieved by a device with the features of the first claim, or by a method according to the corresponding method claim.
- the device for gas enrichment has a container for a fiuid in which the fiuid which is to be enriched with gas is located or into which the fiuid is supplied.
- a container for a fiuid in which the fiuid which is to be enriched with gas is located or into which the fiuid is supplied.
- This is, for example, a bottle, cylinder or tubular container, which is preferably made of steel, ceramic or glass.
- Means for supplying a gas into the container are also provided.
- these comprise a gas bottle in which the gas is stored before the enrichment and a gas line into the container.
- the gas is fed to the device, for example at 3 to 3.5 bar.
- means for supplying the fluid into the container are provided.
- an inflow of drinking water is provided as the supply means, the inflow with the domestic one Line water connection is connected.
- the fluid is supplied, for example, to the device at 4.5 to 6 bar. Usually, the fluid is supplied to the device at a higher pressure than the gas.
- the means for supplying the gas and / or the fluid are in the
- Container perforated in a sieve-like manner so as to provide outlet openings for the gas or fluids.
- the outlet openings of the gas are preferably in the fluid.
- the sieve-like, multiple perforation of the gas supply means brings about an effective dissolution of the gas in the fluid due to an atomizing effect. Due to the swirling effects on the fluid, the sieve-like, multiple perforation of the fluid supply means brings about an effective dissolution of the gas which is subsequently added to the fluid in the container.
- the container can also be double-walled or multi-walled.
- the gas concentration in the liquid can thus advantageously be increased.
- the multiple perforations and the associated extensive distribution of the outlet openings result in a comparatively wide outlet surface of the gas or fluid compared to a single outlet opening.
- the multiple perforation thus enables Fiuid to enter the container or gas into the Fiuid in a comparatively broader area.
- the multiple perforation of the gas supply means enables an outlet of the gas into the fluid similar to a shower head, the gas throughput being distributed over the multiple perforations and thus the exit velocity at the individual perforation being reduced compared to a single gas outlet opening with the same gas throughput.
- This enables a particularly uniform, turbulence-free gas entry into the fluid.
- every single relatively small perforation is surrounded by fluid in which the gas can be dissolved.
- the multiple perforations in addition to the extensive gas enrichment due to the large distribution of the outlet openings also a particularly uniform and effective gas enrichment of the fluid,
- the multiple perforation compared to a single outlet opening enables an increased gas or fluid throughput, in particular if the surface of all outlet openings is increased compared to a single outlet opening due to the multiple perforation.
- Fiuid in the sense of the invention is to be interpreted widely. These are, for example, liquids such as drinking water, blood, sera, injection solutions, suspensions, but also fluids of higher viscosity, such as cosmetic lotions and creams.
