Container, and device and method for producing a disinfecting solution
View Patent ↗A container ( 14 ) with a content ( 8 ) has at least one hypochlorite compound, in particular a calcium hypochlorite compound, for generating an aqueous solution, and at least one inlet attachment ( 46 ) for attachment to a water supply line ( 48 ) and at least one outlet attachment ( 50 ) for attachment to an outlet line ( 52, 92 ) for a liquid composed of the incoming water and of the content ( 8 ), wherein the content ( 8 ) is located in accordance with the flow between the inlet attachment ( 46 ) and the outlet attachment ( 50 ), and the container ( 14 ) is designed as a transportable exchange unit that is sealed off from the outside in the unattached state.
1. A container for generating a chlorine-containing, aqueous solution, comprising:
at least one inlet attachment for attachment to a water supply line and at least one outlet attachment for attachment to an outlet line for a liquid formed from inflowing water and a charge which contains at least one hypochlorite compound or one calcium hypochlorite compound, wherein the charge is situated in terms of flow between the inlet attachment and the outlet attachment, and wherein the container is constructed as a transportable exchangeable unit sealed off from the outside in the non-attached state;
wherein at least one feed line is provided which passes from the inlet attachment through the charge and opens in a region of a bottom section of the container, the outlet attachment situated at a region of a top section of the container.
2. The container according to claim 1 , wherein the inlet attachment and the outlet attachment are provided with locking appliances which seal in the non-attached state or with self-locking attachment couplings, which are unlatchable for or during attachment.
3. The container according to claim 1 , wherein the container is constructed so as to be refillable.
4. The container according to claim 3 , wherein at least one unsealable and resealable refilling opening is provided.
5. The container according to claim 1 , wherein the container is disposed for an operating position such that the flow passes through the charge at least substantially from bottom to top.
6. The container according to claim 1 , wherein this container is constructed in such a manner that the sedimentation velocity of insoluble components of at least one of the charge and reaction products is higher than the through-flow velocity.
7. The container according to claim 1 , wherein the container is disposed for retaining and receiving at least one of dissolution residues and reaction products remaining on formation of the aqueous solution.
8. The container according to claim 1 , wherein the container is formed as a longitudinally extended cartridge and the charge is layered, as a standing column, over an entire diameter through which flow passes.
9. The container according to claim 1 , wherein the feed line extends at least in sections at least one of along and in parallel to a longitudinal axis of the container.
10. The container according to claim 1 , wherein at least one distributor for the water is provided, which distributor is arranged downstream of the inlet attachment in terms of flow and upstream of the charge in terms of flow.
11. The container according to claim 10 , wherein the distributor is arranged on a bottom-side line end of the feed line.
12. The container according to claim 1 , wherein the charge is a bulk material containing the hypochlorite compound and mixed with insoluble packing elements.
13. The container according to claim 1 , comprising at least one flow retarder or a fine-grained bulk material layer, following the inlet attachment and arranged upstream of the charge in terms of flow.
14. The container according to claim 1 , comprising at least one flow retarder or a fine-grained bulk material layer, following the charge and arranged upstream of the outlet attachment in terms of flow.
15. The container according to claim 1 , comprising an unfilled sedimentation section arranged downstream of the charge and upstream of the outlet attachment in terms of flow.
16. The container according to claim 1 , comprising at least one filter means for retaining insoluble components of the charge or a filter element arranged directly upstream of the outlet attachment in terms of flow.
17. The container according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the water inlet and water outlet can be throttled to a desired through-flow rate.
18. The container according to claim 1 , wherein this container is pressure-tight under conventional water line pressures or is pressure-tight up to 16 bar.
19. The container according to claim 1 , wherein the container comprises a recording appliance or a transmitter, for measuring the charge level.
