Powdered and liquid chemical dispensing and distribution system
View Patent ↗A powdered and liquid chemical distribution system for distributing powdered and liquid chemicals. The system includes a transport module having a plurality of chambers arranged in series to automatically distribute both a powdered chemical and a liquid chemical to a point of use along a single line, wherein the plurality of chambers share a chamber wall.
1. A powdered and liquid chemical distribution system comprising a transport module including a plurality of chambers, wherein a first chamber of the plurality of chambers is configured to receive water defining a water level in the first chamber, wherein a second chamber of the plurality of chambers includes an inlet and is coupled to a liquid chemical source via an inlet line connected to the inlet to automatically receive a liquid chemical from the liquid chemical source through the inlet, wherein the liquid chemical received in the second chamber causes a rise in the water level in the first chamber, wherein the first chamber is further configured to receive a powdered chemical, wherein the first chamber and the second chamber are arranged in fluid series relationship such that the powdered chemical flows from the first chamber through the second chamber, and wherein the transport module is configured to automatically distribute both the powdered chemical and the liquid chemical from the plurality of chambers to a point of use along a single line, wherein the plurality of chambers share a chamber wall.
2. The powdered and liquid chemical distribution system of claim 1 , wherein the transport module is configured to automatically distribute the powdered chemical and the liquid chemical to a different point of use along a different single line.
3. The powdered and liquid chemical distribution system of claim 1 , wherein the point of use is a washer disposed remotely from the transport module.
4. The powdered and liquid chemical distribution system of claim 1 , wherein the point of use is a first point of use, the single line is a first single line, and the transport module is configured to automatically distribute the powdered chemical and the liquid chemical to a second point of use along a second single line.
5. The powdered and liquid chemical distribution system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of chambers includes a third chamber in fluid communication with the first chamber and the second chamber.
6. The powdered and liquid chemical distribution system of claim 1 , further comprising a manifold fluidly connecting the first chamber and the second chamber to the single line.
7. The powdered and liquid chemical distribution system of claim 5 , wherein the third chamber is in fluid communication with a source of water.
