Pressurized hydration filtration system
View Patent ↗A system and process for taking a liquid such as water from a source and supplying the liquid by, for example, pushing the liquid through a filter provided inside a reservoir in order to render the liquid clean and potable. The reservoir and filter may be surrounded 360-degrees by a pressure bladder that may be wrapped with a material such as nylon, so that substantially all pressure goes inwards towards the filter.
1. A portable liquid pack, comprising:
a reservoir that holds a liquid;
a pressure casing that includes a 360-degree chamber surrounding the reservoir; and a filter that filters the liquid in the liquid reservoir,
wherein the filter is installed inside the reservoir to filter the liquid when liquid when the liquid is evacuated from the reservoir through a conduit fluidly coupled to the filter to receive liquid from the filter,
a gas supply conduit and a pump that supplies a gas to the 360-degree chamber, and
wherein the pressure casing comprises an inner wall and an outer wall, the inner wall being configured to move and apply a force against the reservoir.
2. The liquid pack of claim 1 , wherein the inner wall of the pressure casing is configured to apply a central 360-degree force against an outer wall of the reservoir, thereby causing a capacity of the reservoir to be reduced.
3. The liquid pack of claim 1 , wherein the outer wall does not expand when the inner wall moves and applies the force against the reservoir.
4. The liquid pack of claim 1 , wherein the outer wall of the pressure casing comprises 210 nylon material.
5. The liquid pack of claim 1 , wherein the pressure casing comprises a bladder made of a material suitable for use in holding a liquid for human consumption.
6. The liquid pack of claim 1 , wherein the reservoir comprises a cap that is removable.
7. The liquid pack of claim 1 , wherein the reservoir comprises a bottom wall having an opening that receives and passes there-through the filter.
8. The liquid pack of claim 1 , wherein the conduit delivers the fluid to a mouth piece.
9. The liquid pack of claim 8 , further comprising a valve to control flow of the liquid from the liquid supply conduit.
10. A portable liquid pack, comprising:
a reservoir that holds liquid;
a pressure casing surrounding the reservoir having an inner wall that moves toward the reservoir and applies a force against an external wall of the reservoir;
a gas supply conduit and a pump that supplies a gas to the pressure casing;
a filtration system that filters the liquid in the liquid reservoir; and
a mouth piece connected to the filtration system for removing filtered liquid from the reservoir,
wherein a portion of the filtration system is installed inside the reservoir to filter the liquid when the liquid is evacuated from the reservoir though the mouth piece.
11. The liquid pack of claim 10 , wherein the pressure casing comprises a 360-degree chamber.
12. The liquid pack of claim 10 , wherein the pressure casing includes an outer wall that does not expand when the inner wall moves toward the reservoir.
13. The liquid pack of claim 10 , wherein the capacity of the reservoir is reduced when the inner wall moves in a direction of the reservoir.
14. The liquid pack of claim 12 , wherein the outer wall of the pressure casing comprises 210 nylon material.
15. The liquid pack of claim 10 , wherein the pressure casing comprises a bladder made of a material suitable for use in holding a liquid for human consumption.
16. A backpack comprising the liquid pack of claim 10 .
17. A portable liquid pack, comprising:
a reservoir that holds a liquid;
a pressure chamber casing having an inner wall that surrounds the reservoir;
a filter that filters the liquid in the liquid reservoir;
a conduit having a mouth piece for removing filtered liquid from the filter; and
a gas supply conduit and a pump that supplies a gas to the chamber casing,
wherein the filter is installed inside the reservoir to filter the liquid when liquid is evacuated from the reservoir through the mouth piece, and
wherein the pressure casing applies a force around the reservoir to evacuate the liquid from the reservoir.
18. The liquid pack of claim 17 , wherein the inner wall of the pressure casing is configured to apply a force against an outer wall of the reservoir, thereby causing a capacity of the reservoir to be reduced.
