Abstract
A system and method for creating an oxidation reduction potential (ORP) in water and for reducing the surface tension of the water for the pathogenic cleansing and/or degreasing of hard surfaces and equipment. The hard surfaces to be cleansed and/or degreased may be plastic, glass, ceramic, porcelain and stainless steel. The equipment to be cleansed and/or degreased may be food service equipment such as ovens, ranges, fryers, grills, steam cookers, refrigerators, coolers, holding cabinets, cold food tables, work tables, beverage dispensing equipment, beer dispensers, shelving, food displays, dish washing equipment and grease traps.
Claims14
A system, comprising:
- a housing with openings for a water inlet and a water outlet;
- an ozone generator disposed within the housing;
- a venturi disposed within the housing, in between the water inlet and the water outlet, the venturi being coupled to the ozone generator and configured to introduce ozone generated by the ozone generator into water received from a water source via the water inlet;
- an indicator on an exterior of the housing, wherein the indicator is a light source;
- a power source configured to provide power to the ozone generator;
- a flow meter in between the water inlet and the water outlet;
- an oxidation reduction potential (ORP) meter;
- and
- a relay coupled to the indicator, the power source, the flow meter, and the ORP meter, the relay configured to provide an activation signal to the indicator in response to receiving all three of:
- (1) a first signal from the power source indicating that the power source is providing power to the ozone generator;
- (2) a second signal from the flow meter indicating that fluid is flowing from the water inlet to the water outlet;
- and (3) a third signal from the ORP meter indicating that an ORP of at least 600 mV is detected in the water being output by the system.
A portable device, comprising:
- a housing that includes:
- a water inlet
- a water outlet;
- an ozone generator;
- a venturi in between the water inlet and the water outlet, the venturi being coupled to the ozone generator and configured to introduce ozone generated by the ozone generator into water received from a water source via the water inlet;
- an indicator on an exterior of the housing, wherein the indicator is a light source;
- a power source configured to provide power to the ozone generator;
- a flow meter in between the water inlet and the water outlet;
- an oxidation reduction potential (ORP) meter;
- and
- a relay coupled to the indicator, the power source, the flow meter, and the ORP meter, the relay configured to provide an activation signal to the indicator in response to receiving all three of:
- (1) a first signal from the power source indicating that the power source is providing power to the ozone generator;
- (2) a second signal from the flow meter indicating that fluid is flowing from the water inlet to the water outlet;
- and (3) a third signal from the ORP meter indicating that an ORP of at least 600 mV is detected in the water being output by the system.
