Abstract
A fluid dispersion assembly comprises a diffusion unit disposed in fluid communication with a fluid container, the assembly being powered by a compressed air source. The diffusion unit at least partially defines a diffusion chamber, and includes a diffusion assembly containing an atomizer assembly which, in combination with the diffusion chamber, generates a fluid dispersion from a mixture of compressed air and an operative fluid, for example, fragrant oils, essential oils, odor neutralizers, disinfectants such as triethylene glycol, air sanitizers, etc.
Claims15
A fluid dispersion assembly operatively engages a container of an operative fluid and a compressed air source and generates and discharges a fluid dispersion into a surrounding airspace, said fluid dispersion assembly comprising:
- a diffusion unit at least partially defining an enclosed diffusion chamber, wherein said diffusion chamber comprises an upper chamber and a lower chamber,
- a discharge port disposed in fluid communication between said diffusion chamber and the surrounding airspace,
- a diffusion assembly disposed in an operative engagement with said diffusion unit, wherein said diffusion assembly comprises an atomizer assembly,
- said diffusion assembly is disposed between said upper chamber and said lower chamber,
- said atomizer assembly comprising an atomizer air inlet channel, a fluid inlet, a mixing chamber, and an atomizer exhaust aperture, and
- said atomizer air inlet channel interconnected to the compressed air source and said fluid inlet disposed in fluid communication with the operative fluid in the container, wherein the compressed air and the operative fluid are mixed together in said mixing chamber to form the fluid dispersion.
A fluid dispersion assembly is operatively interconnected to a container of an operative fluid and a compressed air source to generate and discharge a fluid dispersion into a surrounding airspace, said fluid dispersion assembly comprising:
- a diffusion unit at least partially defining a diffusion chamber, wherein said diffusion chamber comprises an upper chamber and a lower chamber,
- a discharge port disposed in fluid communication between said diffusion chamber and the surrounding airspace, and
- a diffusion assembly disposed in an operative engagement with said diffusion unit, wherein said diffusion assembly comprises an atomizer assembly, said diffusion assembly is disposed between said upper chamber and said lower chamber.
A fluid dispersion assembly interconnects to a container of an operative fluid and a compressed air source and generates and discharges a fluid dispersion into a surrounding airspace, said fluid dispersion assembly comprising:
- a diffusion unit having an enclosed diffusion chamber, said diffusion chamber comprising oppositely disposed portions therein,
- said diffusion chamber comprises an upper chamber and a lower chamber,
- a diffusion assembly disposed in an operative engagement with said diffusion unit between said upper chamber and said lower chamber,
- said diffusion assembly comprises an atomizer assembly having an atomizer exhaust aperture,
- said lower chamber disposed below and adjacent said atomizer exhaust aperture, and
- said diffusion chamber structured to facilitate formation of the fluid dispersion prior to discharge of the fluid dispersion from said diffusion chamber, wherein the fluid dispersion discharged from said atomizer exhaust aperture into said diffusion chamber is interrupted and redirected in said lower chamber, thereby dampening sound waves generated during operation of said fluid dispersion assembly.
