Abstract

A transportable system for generating aqueous ozone solution includes a wheeled frame and an aqueous ozone solution supply unit that is coupled to the wheeled frame. The aqueous ozone solution supply unit is configured to produce an aqueous ozone solution onsite by generating and injecting ozone into water received from an onsite water source. The transportable system further includes an outer enclosure configured to surround at least a portion of the wheeled frame and configured to contain the aqueous ozone solution supply unit. The outer enclosure is also configured to store one or more external components for the aqueous ozone solution supply unit and one or more cleaning accessories when the aqueous ozone solution supply unit is being transported via the wheeled frame.

Claims (32)

1. A transportable system for generating aqueous ozone solution, comprising:

a wheeled frame;

an outer enclosure surrounding at least a portion of the wheeled frame;

an aqueous ozone solution supply unit disposed within the outer enclosure, the aqueous ozone solution supply unit comprising:

a supply unit enclosure coupled to the wheeled frame, the supply unit enclosure including one or more openings for a water inlet and an aqueous ozone solution outlet;

one or more ozone generators disposed within the supply unit enclosure; and

a fluid mixer disposed within the supply unit enclosure, the fluid mixer being fluidically coupled to the one or more ozone generators and configured to inject ozone generated by the one or more ozone generators into water received from a water source via the water inlet to produce an aqueous ozone solution that is output via the aqueous ozone solution outlet; and

a mounting bracket for removably coupling the aqueous ozone solution supply unit to the wheeled frame, the mounting bracket configured to be fastened to the wheeled frame,

wherein the outer enclosure is configured to store one or more external components for the aqueous ozone solution supply unit and one or more cleaning accessories when the aqueous ozone solution supply unit is being transported via the wheeled frame.

2. The transportable system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more external components for the aqueous ozone solution supply unit comprise: a power adapter; an extension cord; an ORP monitor; an ORP monitor control unit; a water input line; and an aqueous ozone solution output line.

3. The transportable system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more cleaning accessories comprise one or more spray devices.

4. The transportable system of claim 3 , wherein the one or more spay device include at least one portable electric sprayer or spray bottle configured to be filled with the aqueous ozone solution dispensed by the aqueous ozone solution supply unit, the at least one portable electric sprayer or spray bottle configured to release a spray, a mist, or a foam formed the aqueous ozone solution to disinfect or degrease a surface.

5. The transportable system of claim 1 , wherein the fluid mixer comprises a venturi.

6. The transportable system of claim 5 , wherein the fluid mixer further comprises and in-line mixer.

7. The transportable system of claim 1 , wherein aqueous ozone solution supply unit further comprises:

a flow switch disposed within the supply unit enclosure, fluidically coupled in between the water inlet and the aqueous ozone solution outlet, the flow switch configured to generate a signal indicative of water flow between the water inlet and the aqueous ozone solution outlet.

8. The transportable system of claim 7 , wherein the one or more ozone generators are configured to be selectively activated in response to the signal generated by the flow switch.

9. The transportable system of claim 1 , wherein aqueous ozone solution supply unit further comprises:

an air stabilizer disposed within the supply unit enclosure, the air stabilizer configured to hold air before the air is supplied to the one or more ozone generators to generate ozone via one or more one or more tubes coupled to the air stabilizer.

10. The transportable system of claim 1 , further comprising:

an ORP monitor fluidically coupled to the aqueous ozone solution outlet, the ORP monitor configured to detect an ORP of the aqueous ozone solution that is output via the aqueous ozone solution outlet.

11. The transportable system of claim 1 , wherein the aqueous ozone solution supply unit further comprises:

a secondary aqueous ozone solution outlet fluidically coupled in parallel with the aqueous ozone solution outlet and also configured to output the aqueous ozone solution.

12. The transportable system of claim 11 , wherein the aqueous ozone solution supply unit further comprises:

a cap configured to selectively close the aqueous ozone solution outlet or the secondary aqueous ozone solution outlet to selectively enable or disable the aqueous ozone solution outlet or the secondary aqueous ozone solution outlet.

13. The transportable system of claim 1 , wherein a base member of the aqueous ozone solution supply unit includes a plurality of slits configured to slide onto mounting members of the mounting bracket so that the aqueous ozone solution supply unit is removably coupled to the wheeled frame by the mounting bracket.

14. The transportable system of claim 1 , wherein the outer enclosure is at least partially made of fabric.

15. The transportable system of claim 14 , wherein the outer enclosure includes a plurality of inner pockets at least partially made from the fabric.

16. The transportable system of claim 15 , wherein the outer enclosure further includes a plurality of outer pockets at least partially made from the fabric.

17. The transportable system of claim 14 , wherein the outer enclosure includes a zipper for closing the outer enclosure.

18. The transportable system of claim 17 , wherein the outer enclosure includes one or more Velcro strips configured to fasten a top portion of the outer enclosure to the wheeled frame when the outer enclosure is unzipped so that the outer enclosure is held open.

19. The transportable system of claim 17 , wherein the outer enclosure includes one or more handles for carrying the transportable system when the outer enclosure is zipped shut.
