Abstract
A method and apparatus for significantly extending the shelf life of an inert gas infused fluid. Air that has been subjected to a high electrical potential corona and then mixed with a fluid in a constant differential pressure venturi is delivered to an improved container apparatus wherein an inert gas is infused into the fluid such that the resultant stabilized fluid demonstrates significantly improved usable life. Alternatively, an additive may be combined to provide application specific characteristics. The combination of the method and apparatus, taken together, provide substantially increased shelf life of an inert gas infused fluid.
Claims11
A method for significantly extending the shelf life of an inert gas infused fluid comprised of:
- subjecting air to a high electrical potential corona:
- mixing said air under a first constant pressure with a fluid under a second constant pressure in a constant differential pressure venturi forming an air-fluid mixture:
- delivering said air-fluid mixture to a container, and:
- injecting an inert gas into said air-fluid mixture in said container such that the resultant stabilized fluid demonstrates significantly improved shelf life, said shelf life with a minimum of 30 to 40 days.
An apparatus for significantly extending the shelf life of an inert gas infused fluid to a minimum of 30 to 40 days comprising:
- a constant differential pressure venturi, said constant differential pressure venturi having a controlled pressure air input port and a controlled pressure water input port and an output port:
- a control mechanism for maintaining a constant pressure differential between said controlled pressure air input port of said constant differential pressure venturi and said output port of said constant differential pressure venturi, and;
- a container, said container having at least two ports, the first of said ports for delivering one or more fluids to said container and the second of said ports for infusing an inert gas into said container such that said container remains under pressure after the inert gas source has been removed.
