Sanitization system and system components
First Claim
1. A sanitization system for producing ozonated liquid, the system comprising:
- a pump for circulating liquid through the system;
a fluid transfer valve for interfacing with a liquid source to be ozonated, allowing simultaneous flow into and out of the system;
an ozone generator for forming ozone to be incorporated into the liquid, and an ozone contacting device for incorporating ozone into the liquid.

Abstract
A multi-use sanitization system is disclosed which includes one or more containers in fluid communication with other system components. Components of the system include an ozone contacting device, such as a vortex-venturi or a sparger, for incorporating ozone into a liquid, an ozone generator to provide ozone to the vortex-venturi, a fluid transfer valve to allow simultaneous flow of liquid into and out of the container, and a pump to promote fluid flow through the system. Optionally, a gas-liquid separator with an optional integral gas release valve, an ozone destructor, an oxidation-reduction potential ozone sensor, or a pour-through type pre-filter may be incorporated into the system.

24. A vortex-venturi for incorporating a gas into a liquid, comprising:
-
a cylindrical body with an interior chamber, a liquid inlet, a gas inlet, and a gas-liquid mixture outlet, the interior chamber having a helical path between the liquid inlet and the gas-liquid outlet, the interior chamber comprising a widened initial section decreasing in diameter to form a narrower waist section of a substantially cylindrical configuration, and a widened outlet section expanding to an increasing diameter relative to the waist section, wherein the liquid inlet is tangentially disposed to enter the interior chamber to create a vortex effect of liquid flowing therethough; and
wherein the gas inlet enters interior chamber through entry ports formed in the waist section. - View Dependent Claims (25)
