Abstract
An ozone laundry system that injects ozone into the chemical injection system in order to allow the system to inject ozone as other cleaning chemicals are injected into the washer. This allows ozone to be injected through the wash cycle rather than just during the initial fill phase and additional avoids the expense and maintenance of adding ozone recirculation plumping to an ozone laundry system. Accordingly, ozone levels may be maintained at superior levels throughout the wash cycle.
Claims17
An ozone laundry chemical injection system comprising:
- a chemical container;
- a chemical pump in fluid communication with the chemical container and being configured to pump chemicals therefrom;
- a water supply line configured to supply water;
- a flush manifold in fluid communication with the chemical pump and the water supply line such that the flush manifold is configured to receive chemicals from the chemical container via the chemical pump and water from the water supply line, thereby forming a mixture of water and chemicals therein;
- a chemical supply line in fluid communication with the flush manifold and a wash drum of a washing machine, the chemical supply line being configured to deliver the mixture of water and chemicals from the flush manifold to the wash drum;
- an ozone gas generator;
- and
- an ozone introducer in gaseous communication with the ozone gas generator and in fluid communication with the chemical supply line such that the ozone introducer is configured to introduce ozone gas directly into the mixture of water and chemicals prior to the mixture of water and chemicals being dispensed from the chemical supply line into the wash drum.
