Ozone laundry system and its method of use with continuous batch and tunnel washers
First Claim
1. An ozone laundry system connected to a single continuous batch or tunnel washer, the single continuous batch or tunnel washer having a plurality of chambers and at least a mid-process point and an end process point, the ozone laundry system comprising:
- at least one fully integrated cabinet enclosing a multiplicity of components that form the ozone laundry system connected to the single continuous batch or tunnel washer;
a series of compression fittings protruding from the at least one fully integrated cabinet and connected to a multiplicity of components that form the ozone laundry system, a first input compression fitting of the series of compression fittings connected to a compressed air input source and at least two output compression fittings of the series of compression fittings providing at least two output streams of generated ozone to the single continuous batch or tunnel washer;
at least one two-channel meter having a dissolved ozone monitor and an oxidation reduction potential monitor located on the at least one fully integrated cabinet, the dissolved ozone monitor taking its reading at least one of a plurality of water inlet locations of the single continuous batch or tunnel washer, and the oxidation reduction potential monitor taking its reading in at least one of the plurality of chambers of the single continuous batch or tunnel washer;
a human machine interface located on the at least one fully integrated cabinet; and
a power source providing electrical energy to all of the multiplicity of components within the at least one fully integrated cabinet that form the ozone laundry system.

Abstract
An ozone laundry system and its method of use with continuous batch or tunnel washers is provided, wherein ozone can be injected into a plurality of different chambers along the continuous batch or tunnel washer and wherein the interfacing of a plurality of system controls occurs on a centralized HMI controller along with DOM and ORP monitoring. Vacuum sensors over vacuum switches are used to compensate for a slightly positive pressure at the ozone outlet, due to a long tube run with a weak vacuum.
