Abstract:
A dispensing device (10) for dispensing a measured amount of a chemical (60) into a fluid piping system including a cap member (24) having a fluid inlet port (33) and a fluid outlet port (34) between which is a tubular flow conduit (28). The cap member (24) also includes by pass and control members (44), which align with an inlet passageway (36) and an outlet passageway (42) in the cap member (24). Fluid flows into the cap member (24) through the inlet port (33). The tubular flow conduit (28) has the inlet passageway (36) therein to divert a portion of the fluid passing through the system into a canister (11) operatively connected to the cap (24). A container (16) is disposed within the canister (11) containing the chemical (60), which is partially dissolved by fluid introduced into the container (16) to create a use solution. The use solution passes out of the canister (11) through the outlet passageway (42) in the tubular flow conduit (28) located downstream from the inlet passageway (36) and is reintroduced into the fluid system to flow out of the outlet port (34). The bypass and control members (44) may be used in variable positions to control and meter the amount of use solution being dispensed.
Abstract:
A device and method for cleaning and deororizing a unit having an enclosed space not otherwise easily accessible for cleaning and doedorizing. A variety of containers holding compositions for generating an antimicrobially active gas may be employed therein. One such container includes a unitary container housing having a plurality of sealed compartments. Each compartment contains a composition for generating an antimicrobially active gas upon exposure to moist air. The container may be employed in other applications as well.
