1. A chemical delivery system for distributing chemicals within a car wash, comprising:
- a motive fluid source including a pressurized motive fluid;
a distribution manifold having a plurality of distribution ports, andat least one chemical delivery manifold including a plurality of venturi injectors, each venturi injector have a motive fluid inlet, a chemical inlet and a mixed solution outlet, each venturi injector adapted for operation at the direction of an individual control signal selectively controlling flow of the pressurized motive fluid through each venturi injector, and wherein each venturi injector is adapted for independently introducing a different concentrated chemical solution,wherein the pressurized motive fluid is supplied to the distribution manifold and to each chemical delivery manifold through a corresponding distribution port, the pressurized motive fluid being provided through a distribution line to each motive fluid inlet at a constant pressure such that the corresponding concentrated chemical solution is mixed into the pressurized motive fluid within each venturi injector; and
wherein the distribution manifold and the at least one chemical delivery manifold are mounted on a common frame.

Abstract
A chemical delivery system capable of handling a variety of concentrated chemicals in such a manner as to reduce the amount of service required to maintain the system. The system should be able to accurately and consistently deliver an appropriate quantity of concentrated chemicals as needed by the application where the system is utilized. Additionally, the system is configured such that the system occupies as little space as necessary.
