Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for introducing gas, preferably C0 2 , into a liquid.
- Drinks especially water and mineral water, but also soft drinks such as lemonade, fruit juices and liquids with other flavors are often carbonated, ie with C0 2 (carbon dioxide), to give the currently popular impression of "freshness".
- C0 2 additive can also improve stale or stale water or water containing disinfectants. Therefore, water (with or without minerals) in bottles or other containers with C0 2 is added, which is introduced under pressure into the liquids and z. B. is released by so-called C0 2 cartridges.
- the purchase of bottled water with C0 2 is cumbersome and expensive because of the transport.
- the self-production is also cumbersome because the CO 2 gas must be introduced into the water in pressure vessels, which then remains under pressure in the vessels.
- the object of the invention is to be able to produce liquids, in particular water, mixed with CO 2 easily and continuously, the CO 2 consumption being based on the amount of water supplied and drawn off.
- the solution according to the invention is that the gas is directed to the flowing liquid and introduced into it.
- Another embodiment of the invention which improves the uptake of C0 and which has an independent inventive rank is that the gas is introduced into the inflow region of a Venturi tube through which the liquid flows.
- the uptake of C0 2 can also be improved by a further embodiment of the invention, which also has an independent inventive rank.
- This further training is that the liquid is cooled before reaching the point of introduction of the gas.
- the CO 2 gas is under a certain pressure in order to be able to get from and into the liquid from a storage container.
- a backflow preventer for example a check valve, is provided, through which the liquid flows in the flow direction according to normal operation. Gas and / or liquid cannot flow through in the opposite direction, so that the supply line cannot be acted upon by gas if the liquid supply fails.
- a preferably stationary mixing arrangement is provided in the flow path of the liquid and the gas, in which gas and liquid are brought into close contact with one another.
- the gas can be directed into the liquid through a nozzle at the end of a supply line.
- the pressure of the gas and its throughput rate (amount of gas / unit of time) can be kept at least approximately constant in a further embodiment of the invention, e.g. the pressure by a pressure reducer.
- the carbonized liquid can flow through a reaction zone in the form of a reaction line which is matched to the reaction time of gas and liquid.
- the preferred liquid which can be treated according to the invention ie can be combined with CO 2 , is water, preferably tap water.
- the carbonized liquid can advantageously be fed to a mixer tap which has a further water tap for normal cold water not enriched with C0 2 and optionally a tap for hot water.
- a mass flow of water enriched with CO 2 can be mixed with a mass flow of non-enriched water, the mass flow of one of these components being adjustable. This makes it possible to set the degree of carbonization in the volume flow of the water enriched with C0 2 in advance.
- the size of the total flow, which is formed by mixing the mass flows from water enriched with C0 2 and from non-enriched water, can also be controlled according to this development.
- plants enriched with a gas can be supplied to plants, preferably sprayed on. It can advantageously be supplied with water enriched with C0 2 .
- the generation of water enriched with CO 2 can be carried out continuously using one or more of the above-mentioned method steps and the components listed above and below in the same or similar manner.
- the use of water carbonated in different ways and with different components is also possible. It was found that the plants when used, e.g. B. spraying, of carbonated water thrive much better.
- liquid enriched with a gas can be supplied to a fabric (also carpet) for cleaning it the liquid is removed after an exposure time together with removed dirt.
- the fabrics that can be treated are in particular textile fabrics including carpets.
- water enriched with CO 2 gas carbonized water
- the continuously flowing water for example taken from a container, can be continuously enriched with C0 2 gas and sucked into a dirty water container after the exposure time.
- the generation of water enriched with CO 2 can be carried out continuously using one or more of the components mentioned above and below and using the method steps mentioned above in the same or similar manner.
- the use of carbonated water in different ways for the same purpose is also possible. It was found that a good cleaning effect can be achieved by the process according to the invention.
- the arrangement mentioned at the outset is characterized by a feed of the gas to the flowing liquid and by the introduction of the gas into the flowing liquid.
- the point of introduction of the gas is in the inflow region of a Venturi tube.
- a backflow preventer in particular a check valve, is arranged, which in the direction opposite to the operational direction of flow for Gas and / or liquid is essentially impermeable.
- a further advantageous possibility of realizing the invention is characterized by a cooling device for the liquid arranged upstream of the point of introduction of the gas.
- a cooling device for the liquid arranged upstream of the point of introduction of the gas.
- Such cooling is very advantageous because cooled liquids can absorb more C0 2 than uncooled.
- the cooling device can advantageously be designed as a continuous cooler.
- the mixing arrangement advantageously has at least two stationary mixing elements which are located in pipes. These tubes are preferably made of VA steel or plastic; their diameters suitably correspond to the diameters of the other pipelines.
- the mixing elements contain e.g. Slats or webs to conduct the liquid and gas for intensive mixing.
- the second mixing element is preferably rotated in the tube relative to the first mixing element, e.g. by 90 °.
- a nozzle can be used to introduce the gas into the flowing liquid at the beginning of the Venturi tube.
- a pressure vessel in the form is used to hold the gas, in particular the CO 2 gas a pressure bottle or a pressure tank, which are designed and arranged to be easily replaceable.
- a quick-closing connection is expediently provided between a valve closing the pressure bottle and a line which forwards the gas, for example in the form of a bayonet catch.
- the pressure bottle can usefully have a small, handy format, for example for attachment under a sink.
- a pressure regulator e.g. in the form of a pressure reducer, or a gas flow regulator.
- the latter can regulate the amount of gas per unit of time in accordance with the throughput of the flowing liquid to be carbonized.
- additives can be added to the liquid, for example flavors, for example for lemonade production or disinfectants, which are advantageously metered by means of a metering arrangement, for example as a function of the liquid flow rate.
- a reaction line in which liquid and gas can react with one another can be arranged downstream of the point of introduction of the gas and preferably downstream of the mixing arrangement.
- the liquid is preferably tap water, especially domestic tap water.
- one or more components for the gas and liquid supply can be removed or reattached separately or together.
- the carbonated water can advantageously be supplied in households to a mixer tap which, according to a further embodiment of the invention, additionally has a tap for cold and / or warm water. Details of the formation of the mixer tap and the supply of water are the German Patent application 198 06 243.5 dated 16.02.1998.
- a pressure reducer and / or a pressure relief valve limiting the overpressures can be provided in the line for the CO enriched water.
- a mixing device can be provided for a flow of liquid enriched with CO 2 and for an unenriched quantity of liquid, at least one quantity of which can be adjusted in size.
- the total quantity flow, which is formed by the two mixed quantity flows, can also be controllable by a special control arrangement. This has the advantage that the content of CO 2 -containing water can be predetermined, largely independently of the total amount of water which can also be controlled.
- the pipes and components arranged in them can be made of carbon-resistant plastic and / or stainless steel.
- An important development of the invention which relates to a very advantageous use of liquid enriched with a gas, in particular carbonated water, and which has an independent inventive rank, is characterized by a feed line for plants enriched with gas.

- the fabrics that can be treated are in particular textile fabrics including carpets.
- the liquid, preferably carbonated water is supplied under excess pressure and suctioned off after an exposure time.
- the water can be continuously taken from a container for fresh water or a pipe.
- C0 2 can be introduced into the water with a continuously operating entry device for C0 2 .
- At the end of the supply line there can be a spray head for spraying the enriched water onto the fabric or carpet.
- a suction device is used to remove the liquid containing dirt.
- a container for liquid containing extracted dirt can be provided.
- the arrangement of fresh water tank, entry device for C0 2 , supply line, drainage, suction device and waste water tank on a mobile frame is very advantageous.
- the carbonated water can be generated continuously using one or more of the aforementioned components and in the same or similar manner.
- the use of carbonated water produced in different ways is also possible. It has been shown that this type of supply of carbonated water to fabrics, including carpets, leads to good cleaning effects.
- the invention is not limited to the carbonation of tap water, mineral water, lemonades or other soft drinks.
- alcoholic beverages such as beers, wines or the like can also be used.
- Drinks can be enriched with C0 2 .
- the advantage of the invention is that when a liquid is drawn from a tap, particularly in households, it can be enriched with CO 2 gas automatically for the production of refreshing drinks. There is no need to buy expensive water bottles or to transport the heavy bottles back and forth to and from the beverage suppliers. If a pipeline network contains inferior water, this can be improved and thereby upgraded with the invention.
- the costs of the new mixer tap including the fittings for a C0 2 gas bottle are slightly higher than a conventional mixer tap for tapping cold and hot water alone. Installation is straightforward, about as time-consuming as a conventional mixer tap. The new system takes up little space and can therefore be installed under almost every sink. Special pressure vessels for the water, pumps etc. enriched with C0 2 are not required. Cold, warm and C0 2 enriched water can be taken from a tap.
- the mixer tap contains a safety valve that also serves as a tap valve for water enriched with C0 2 .
- the mixing process and the valve are precisely matched to one another and are designed so that the flow rate and pressure cannot be changed by the end user. With the invention, a strongly enriched with C0 2 water (soda water) can be offered.
- FIG 1 A plant for the enrichment of water with C0 2 (carbon dioxide), which is particularly suitable for households,
- FIG. 2 a mixing chamber for setting the degree of carbonization of water
- Figure 3 an application for carbonated water for cleaning fabrics including carpets
- FIG. 4 another application for carbonated water for the application of plants
- Figure 5 a sketch of a circuit for pressureless water heating.
- the water flows through a line (1) for supplying cold water in accordance with the arrow (2) through a cooling device (3) which is designed as a known continuous cooler (4).
- a cooling device (3) which is designed as a known continuous cooler (4).
- the cooled water flows according to arrow (2) to a backflow preventer (6), which is expediently designed as a check valve and which prevents supplied CO 2 gas from entering the water supply network (not shown).
- CO 2 gas which emerges from a supply line (11), is passed into the liquid.
- a nozzle (9) can be used.
- the introduction point (8) is in the entrance area of a Venturi tube (12), in which there is a narrow point (13) through which the liquid flows at an increased speed.
- the CO 2 gas is supplied from a pressure bottle (15) via the supply line (11) and a control arrangement for the gas pressure or the gas throughput (quantity / time unit) according to arrow (10) to the introduction point (8).
- the gas pressure can be kept at a substantially constant value in a simple manner by means of a pressure-stabilizing pressure reducer (14). If a flow regulator known per se is used, the gas quantity per unit time can advantageously be adapted to the liquid quantity flow (liquid quantity per unit time).
- a stationary mixer arrangement (16) in the flow path of the liquid and the CO 2 gas which has at least one mixing element (17), but preferably two mixing elements (17, 18), at least for the most part made of corrosion-resistant material, preferably plastic.
- the mixing elements (17, 18) have wavy baffles and / or webs for the water and the CO 2 and are connected to a rod in the mixing tubes by means of supports.
- Two mixing elements (17, 18) (tubes) arranged one behind the other are advantageously rotated by 90 ° with respect to the position of their guide surfaces and / or webs. Their guide surfaces accelerate the water in different directions, which results in a very intensive and homogeneous mixture of liquid and gas.
- Mixing elements of the type described are known per se and are e.g. from the company Sulzer Chemtech GmbH, Usingerstr. 114, D-61239 Ober-Mörlen sold under the type designation SMV mixing elements, SMX mixing elements and SMXL mixing elements.
- a pressure reducer (33) is arranged upstream from (31), which reduces the pressure of the tap water (e.g. 4 bar) to a pressure (e.g. 2.8 bar) which is reduced by a certain amount (e.g.
- the tap (27) can act on a valve, not shown, which, in addition to its control function for the mass flow of the carbonated water, is designed as a pressure relief valve. Overpressures in the line (1, 19) can thus be reduced to the outside by releasing C0 2 and / or water.
- a valve seat acted upon by the tap (27) can be designed as such a pressure relief valve, which opens when the pressure in the line (15) increases sharply in the direction of an environment into the interior of the mixer tap (22).
- the pipes (1, 19), the nozzle (9), the mixing elements (17, 18) and the other components that come into contact with the carbonic acid are advantageously protected against the aggressive water-C0 2 mixture in that they consist of a VA steel, which can still be lined with a durable plastic. They can also be made of a plastic that is resistant to carbon dioxide.
- One or more components of the system described can be arranged in such a way that they can be removed and reinstalled individually or together in a simple manner for maintenance purposes. nen. Details of this can also be found in German patent application 198 06 243.5 from February 16, 1998.

- the cooling capacity of the water for C0 2 is increased significantly.
- consumers generally find cooling the water pleasant.
- C0 2 gas flows through the supply line (11) to and into the cooled water.
- the carbonized water can emerge from the outlet (29) of the mixer tap (22).
- the water on line (20) can be enriched with additives, in particular flavors.
- a nozzle (9) can be arranged in the flow direction, through which the water enriched with C0 2 is accelerated in the direction of the Venturi tube.
- the tap (27) and the associated valve can be designed so that it is only open or closed.
- the degree of carbonization of the water is then largely constant.
- Non-carbonized tap water is mixed into this constant volume flow with a constant degree of carbonation in such a way that the resulting total flow contains the desired degree of carbonization, for example little, medium or high carbonation.
- FIG. 2 shows a variant of the invention in which the degree of carbonization can be set.
- a controllable valve (34) is arranged in the line (1), with which the flow rate of the water enriched with C0 2 can be adjusted.
- a mixing chamber (36) the non-enriched water flow supplied through line (23) and the enriched water flow supplied through line (1) are then mixed by union.
- the mixed water flow reaches the outlet (29) via a main flow valve (e.g. a one-hand lever) (26).
- the desired degree of carbonization can be set on the valve (34), the desired amount per unit of time (flow rate) on the one-hand lever (26).
- FIG. 5 shows a circuit in which the hot water is generated without pressure in a water heater (60).
- cold water is fed into the water heater (60) via a cold water line 61 controlled by the mixer tap 22.
- the water entering the water heater (60) via the cold water line (61) pushes the warm water located in the water heater (60) out of the water heater (60) through a hot water line (62) in the direction of the mixer tap (22).
- This hot water flowing in from the hot water pipe (62) emerges from the outlet (29) of the mixer tap (22).
- the mixer tap (22) also has a cold water supply line (23) which is connected via a corner valve (63) to a water network (not shown).
- the cold water which emerges from the outlet (29) is removed from this cold water line (23) by a corresponding adjustment of the one-hand lever (26).
- In the direction of flow behind the corner valve (63) there is a branch (31) through which cold water is removed for the purpose of mixing with C0 2 .
- This branch (31) is connected to the line (1) which opens into the mixer tap (22).
- the backflow preventer (6) is located behind the branch (31) in the direction of flow. Behind this, the introduction point (8) is provided in the flow direction of the cold water, at which the C0 2 removed from the pressure bottle (15) is mixed into the water flow flowing through the line (1).
- This introduction point (8) is designed as a feed T-piece (64).
- the cold water flows through the crossbar of the T-piece (64) in the direction of the mixer tap (22) and passes through the mixing elements (17, 18), which are designed as static mixers.
- the pressure bottle (15) is connected via the pressure reducer (14) to the longitudinal bar (65) of the T-piece (64) running perpendicular to the crossbar.
- the pressure bottle (15), which is designed as a small, handy bottle, is connected to the pressure reducer (14) via a quick-release fastener (66).
- This quick-release fastener (66) can be designed, for example, as a bayonet fastener which favors the rapid replacement of the pressure bottle (15).
- the line (1) is opened so that a constant water jet which cannot be influenced by the tap (27) and which is enriched with a constant amount of C0 2 , which cannot be influenced either, from the outlet (29) emerges.
- the mixing ratio between the amount of water flowing through the line (1) after opening the tap (27) and the amount of CO 2 is determined such that a mixture of carbonated water, which is highly enriched with gas, emerges from the outlet (29).
- the amount of C0 2 is determined so that the amount of water is saturated by the gas.
- the saturated amount of water can be adjusted by operating the one-hand lever (26) water is taken from the feed line (23) and mixed with the saturated amount of water.
- a corresponding mixing chamber (not shown) is provided within the mixer tap (22). In this way, the mixer tap (22) can be removed more or less strongly with C0 2 saturated water.
- a mixer tap (22) is also conceivable, which not only cold and warm water, but also more or less strongly saturated carbonated water can be removed only by actuating the one-hand lever (26).
- the one-hand lever (26) can be pivoted into a position in which the mixer tap (22) only releases an outflow of carbonated water.
- the outflow can be controlled so that a more or less large amount of cold water is mixed in with the carbonated water.
- FIG. 3 shows an arrangement for cleaning fabrics, including carpets, using carbonated water, ie using water enriched with CO. Surprisingly, it has been shown that such water has a very good cleaning effect, for example on carpets.
- a fabric, in particular a carpet (41) is sprayed with water by means of a spray head (42), which is enriched with CO 2 and which is supplied by means of a feed line (43).
- a spray head for this purpose, fresh water is removed from a fresh water container (44) and enriched with C0 2 in an enrichment device (46).
- a pump (47) is used for removal and delivery to the spray head (42).
- the C0 2 can be fed from a container (15) and into the water flowing through the line (43), possibly through a nozzle (9).
- a mixer arrangement (16) can be used for the intensive mixing of water and CO 2 gas.
- a motor-driven suction device for the polluted water is indicated schematically. This creates a vacuum, with the help of which the polluted water is sucked through a device (49) is sucked into a dirty water tank (51), in which the suction device (52) generates negative pressure through a suction nozzle (57).
- the suction line (49) has at its end facing away from the dirty water tank (51) a suction sensor (48) which is guided over the carpet (41) and which absorbs the mixture of carbonized water and dirt which has accumulated in it. After cleaning the carpet, the dirty water tank (51) can be emptied and cleaned via a disposal station (not shown).
- the components described are arranged on a frame which can be moved by means of wheels (53). If necessary, at least some of the components described in FIG. 1 can be used to carbonate the water.
- the Venturi tube (12) shown and described in FIG. 1 is arranged upstream of the mixing arrangement (16).
- An arrangement for setting the degree of carbonization according to FIG. 2 can also be provided. It is within the scope of the invention to otherwise use carbonated water for cleaning fabrics, e.g. Carpets to use.
- Fig. 4 shows an arrangement for the treatment of plants (indicated schematically and designated with position (56)) by means of carbonized, ie by means of water enriched with CO 2 .
- the water is supplied through a feed line (43) and enriched at the gas feed point (28) with CO 2 gas which is discharged from a gas container (15), for example a gas bottle, and into which water flowing through the feed line is introduced.
- a Venturi nozzle or mixing arrangement is designated, which have the same function as the components with the same numerals of FIG. 1.
- the water enriched with CO 2 can be sprayed onto the plant (56). It has surprisingly been found that plants sprayed or worn off with such water thrive better than untreated plants.
- further components described in FIGS. 1 and 2 can be used to carbonate the water Find use, for example an arrangement for adjusting the degree of carbonization according to FIG. 2. It is within the scope of the invention to use carbonized water in different ways.
