Abstract
A system for limiting the flow from a dispensing valve when a dispensing cartridge is replaced with the system including a dispenser cartridge with a cam and a water socket with a flow limiter therein that is activeable in response to the position of the dispenser cartridge in the dispensing valve and operable in response to an upstream fluid pressure in the dispensing valve.
Claims8
A method of on-the-go reconfiguring a dispensing valve from receiving a first set of dispensing cartridges where the first set of dispensing cartridge contain a bottom inlet and a bottom outlet of a first size to receiving a second set of dispensing cartridges wherein each of the second set of dispensing cartridges have a bottom inlet and a bottom outlet of a second size which is a different size than the bottom inlet and the bottom outlet of the first set of dispensing cartridges comprising:
- removing the first pair of dispensing cartridge from a chamber in the inline dispenser;
- inserting a converter having a set of radial fins with a peripheral edge thereon for cantileverly and frictionally engaging a sidewall of a dispensing valve at an acute angle to increase frictional resistance to removal of the converter from the dispensing valve, said converter having a first top socket and a second top socket and a first bottom socket and a second bottom socket into a chamber in the inline dispenser;
- frictionally engaging the first bottom socket of the converter with a first socket of the dispensing valve and frictionally engaging a second bottom socket of the converter with a second socket of the inline dispenser;
- and
- frictionally engaging a first bottom socket of the second set of dispensing cartridges with a first top socket of the converter and a second bottom socket of the second dispensing cartridge with the second top socket of the converter.
A method of on the go reconfiguring a bulk feeder usable in either an industrial water treatment application or a nonindustrial water treatment application to a bulk feeder for receiving a water dispersant contained in a dispenser cartridge comprising:
- inserting a converter having a peripheral edge, a first top cartridge socket and a first bottom socket and a second top cartridge socket and a second bottom socket into a chamber in the bulk feeder;
- engaging a cam in a dispenser cartridge socket with a flow limiter in the converter to deactivate the flow limiter to form a first flow path between the bulk feeder and the first dispensing cartridge;
- and
- securing the converter to the bulk feeder through cantileverly engaging the peripheral edge with an interior surface of the bulk feeder.
