Description

METHOD AND ARRANGEMENT FOR INTRODUCING GAS INTO LIQUIDS BY MEANS OF A NOVEL MIXER The invention relates to a novel mixer by which gas is introduced into liquids, 5 preferably C02, in water. The invention further relates to an arrangement and a construction of the novel mixer. Beverages, in particular water and mineral water, but also refreshments such as lemonade, fruit juices and liquids mixed with other flavoring agents are 10 carbonized, i.e., mixed with C02 (carbon dioxide) to produce the impression of freshness that is currently so desired. Addition of CO 2 can also improve stale or flat water or water mixed with disinfectants.. Therefore, CO 2 is added to water (with or without mineral agents) in bottles or other containers and introduced under pressure into liquids and, e.g., dispensed from so-called C02 cartridges. 15 The purchase of carbonated water in bottle is complex and expensive in view of the transports. The do-it-yourself preparation is also complicated as the C02 gas in pressure containers has to be introduced into the water which then remains under pressure in the containers. 20 The invention is based on the object to provide a novel mixer by which carbonated liquids, in particular water, can easily be produced continuously, whereby the CO 2 consumption depends on the amount of supplied and tapped water. 1 The invention is attained by conducting the gas to flowing liquid and by using the novel mixer for attaining and optimum mixture. According to a further embodiment of the invention, which has separate inventive 5 status, for absorbing CO 2 and other gases, the novel mixture implements a very high mixing quality (carbonization) at slight pressure conditions of liquids and gas. According to a further embodiment of the invention, which also has separate 10 inventive status, the novel mixer is in a position to realize a constant quality, for example, soda water, provided that the water stream to the mixer is not interrupted and the gas supply C02 is also ongoing in this case, whereby the novel mixer runs better than all known systems which require very high pressure for the production of carbonated water. 15 A further embodiment of the invention, which also has separate inventive status, resides in the field of application in cleaning machines (carpet cleaning machines). The mixer is integrated downstream of a pump which is connected to a reservoir. Connected upstream of the mixer is the CO 2 introduction; thus, 20 carbonated water can be produced for the carpet cleaning. According to a further embodiment of the invention, which also has separate inventive status, the novel mixer is integrated in a washing machine. These 2 washing machines may be industrial or household washing machines. Water required for the washing process is conducted together with CO 2 through the mixer into the washing machine. 5 A further embodiment of the invention, which also has separate inventive status, resides in the structure and the configuration of the SLS-mixer. The novel mixer is comprised of individual mixing screens which abut one another depending on the field of application. The number of mixing screens and the diameter as well as strength thereof depends on the task of the mixer at hand. This relates also to 10 the mesh structure (throughput rate) of the mesh. Preferred materials include VA-steel or plastics. The same effect could be attained with metal disks or plastic disks having corresponding boreholes and same arrangement as in the screens. 15 According to a further development of the invention, which also has separate inventive status, the mixer is comprised of one or more parts and is identical or of similar configuration as the mixer described previously by me. Gas and liquids can be mixed in a same quality with this mixer as with the afore-described mixer. 20 According to a further advantageous configuration of the invention, which also has separate inventive status, the novel mixer mixes in the high temperature fluctuation range of water always at a same quality of soda water or other beverages. Also the extremely small bubble formation of carbonic acid, 3 generated by this mixer in soda water and other refreshments, tastes extremely pleasant. The high carbonization is characterized by the fact that the bound CO 2 in water has small losses of unbound C02 after the mixing process. The release of C02 is very low compared to other methods that carbonize water. This new 5 type of mixer exhibits superior properties to produce quality soda water with little pressure. A further embodiment of the invention, which also has separate inventive status resides in the fact that the novel mixer can be made highly cost-efficient and that 10 this mixer operates at slight counter pressure to hereby realize a calm flow behavior of the gas to be mixed with the liquid. According to a further development of the invention, which also has separate inventive status, the mixer may be comprised of spherical, conical or cylindrical 15 components which are connected in a construction frame. According to a further development of the invention, which also has separate inventive status, the novel mixer is placed in a tube which has at the same time a connection for the liquid stream and the gas introduction. The tube has further a 20 connection possibility for a metering station downstream of the mixing process of liquids and gas. This may also take place upstream of the mixer. One or more attachments are integrated in the tube for securement of the mixer. At the same time, the tube is so sized as to allow exploitation of the tube as reaction time. The 4 connection for the liquid and gas supplies can also be configured as detachable connection. According to a further advantageous configuration of the invention, which also 5 has separate inventive status, the connection possibility for a gas container (C0 2 ) is so constructed that a line from the tube where the mixer is installed has a connection possibility to attach a gas container without any problem. This connection from tube to container may be flexible. The connection for the gas container is so constructed that only a licensed gas container can be attached to 10 the tube for supply of gas to the mixer. According to a further advantageous configuration of the invention, which also has separate inventive status, the mixer is so constructed as to suit the field of application. The fact that there is a fixed setting of liquids and the respective gas 15 means with respect to the liquids the flow rate and the liquid pressure at the gas, the volume flow amount and the gas pressure. The afore-stated conditions are ensured by pressure reducers and volume flow valves. An optimum quality is ensured as a result of the fixed setting of the pressure as well as the volume flow of the liquid and the gas. The mixer can also be used reliably in situations, 20 where no fixed setting is required. The invention is not only directed to carbonization of water of any type. The novel mixer can be used for all conceivable liquids and gas types. 5 The invention will now be described in more detailed with reference to exemplified embodiments. FIG. 1 shows a single mixing screen; 5 FIG. 2 shows a complete mixer comprised of individual screens; FIG. 3 shows a mixer in one piece and the mixer comprised of individual screens, with similar structure and same task as the afore-mentioned mixer. Main field is 10 to mix water and CO 2 . Further shown are the connection ports for the supply with liquids and gas as well as the tube which accommodates the mixer. FIG. 4 shows a mixer comprised of individual mixing screens. All connection ports for gas and liquids, attachment points for the mixer and feed ports for 15 flavoring agents. FIGS. 1 and 2 show a top view of a single mixing screen (1) and the composition of the meshes (14). By changing the meshes (14), an optimum mixture of the respective liquids (4) and gases (13) can be achieved. This relates, of course, to 20 the complete mixer (2) shown in FIG. 2. FIG. 3 shows a schematic drawing of a complete mixer (8) which is made in one piece and inserted in a tube (7) which has a separate connection possibility (6) 6 for gas (13) supply and the liquid (4) supply. FIG. 3 shows further the exit possibility and connection possibility for integration of the mixer (2) (8) to respective systems. 5 FIG. 4 shows a mixer (2) which is composed of individual mixing screens (1). The drawing further shows the tube (7) with integrated connection ports for gas (13) liquids (4), gas line (11), gas container (13), connection (12) for the gas container, attachment points (15) for the mixer (2), feed possibility for flavoring agents (10), exit possibility for mixed liquids (4), with gas (13). At the same time, 10 this exit (5) is provided for the attachment to the desired field of use of the mixer (2), and moreover the exit possibility may be exploited with respect to the tube (7) length as reaction time for the mixed materials. 7
