Abstract

A sterilization system with multipurpose degasser has a vortex mixing cylinder, an endcap, and a deionization system. The vortex mixing cylinder is a container that has an inlet an outlet. The inlet and out enable an ozone-water mixture to flow into a mixing chamber within the vortex mixing cylinder. The mixing chamber is designed to facilitate the formation of an ozone saturated ozone-water mixture. The endcap is used to cover an opening of the mixing chamber and is used to expel gasses out of the mixing chamber. The deionization system is an electrical filter that removes ozone particles from the air within the mixing chamber. The deionization system is mounted in between the vortex mixing cylinder and the endcap. Accordingly, gasses must pass through the deionization system prior to being expelled through the endcap. The ozone particles are removed from the gasses being expelled through the endcap, prior to expulsion.

Claims (59)

1. A water sterilization system comprising:

a vortex mixing cylinder;

an endcap; and

a deionization system;

wherein the vortex mixing cylinder comprises a cylinder body, a mixing chamber, at least one inlet, and at least one outlet;

the mixing chamber longitudinally traversing into the cylinder body;

the at least one inlet integrated into the cylinder body;

the at least one outlet integrated into the cylinder body;

the at least one outlet positioned offset from the at least one inlet along the cylinder body;

the at least one outlet and the at least one inlet are in fluid communication with the mixing chamber;

the endcap is mounted over an opening of the mixing chamber; and

the deionization system is mounted in between the cylinder body and the endcap.

2. The water sterilization system as claimed in claim 1 comprising:

a plurality of mixing elements;

wherein the plurality of mixing elements are mounted within the mixing chamber.

3. The water sterilization system as claimed in claim 2 , wherein each of the plurality of mixing elements is a textured sphere.

4. The water sterilization system as claimed in claim 2 , wherein each of the plurality of mixing elements is composed of non-conductive materials.

5. The water sterilization system as claimed in claim 2 comprising:

a vortex-inducing basket;

wherein the vortex-inducing basket is mounted within the mixing chamber; and

the plurality of mixing elements are positioned in between a base of the cylinder body and the vortex-inducing basket.

6. The water sterilization system as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the vortex inducing basket is composed of non-conductive materials.

7. The water sterilization system as claimed in claim 1 comprising:

an inlet coupling mechanism;

wherein the inlet coupling mechanism is mounted over the at least one inlet.

8. The water sterilization system as claimed in claim 1 comprising:

an outlet coupling mechanism;

wherein the outlet coupling mechanism is mounted over the at least one outlet.

9. The water sterilization system as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the at least one inlet comprises a first inlet and a second inlet;

wherein the first inlet is laterally integrated into the cylinder body; and

the second inlet being integrated into a base of the cylinder body.

10. The water sterilization system as claimed in claim 9 comprising:

at least one inlet plug; and

at least one outlet plug;

wherein the at least one inlet plug sealing the first inlet; and

the at least one outlet plug sealing the at least one outlet.

11. The water sterilization system as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the deionization system comprising a conductive mesh and an electrical coupling terminal;

wherein the conductive mesh is mounted across the opening of the mixing chamber;

the electrical coupling terminal is mounted onto the endcap; and

the electrical coupling terminal is electrically connected to the conductive mesh.

12. The water sterilization system as claimed in claim 1 comprising:

a transfer chamber; and

a relief valve;

wherein the transfer chamber longitudinally traversing into the endcap;

the relief valve is mounted onto the endcap, opposite to the vortex mixing cylinder; and

the relief valve is in fluid communication with the transfer chamber.

13. The water sterilization system as claimed in claim 12 comprising:

a conductive liner;

wherein the conductive liner being superimposed onto the transfer chamber; and

the conductive liner is electrically connected to the deionization system.

14. The water sterilization system as claimed in claim 1 comprising:

at least one gasket;

wherein the at least one gasket is mounted in between the endcap and the vortex mixing cylinder.

15. The water sterilization system as claimed in claim 1 comprising:

at least one window;
