System and method for dissolving detergent tablets or granulate

A system for dissolving solid detergent in the form of tablets or granulate in water and thereby creating a detergent liquid, said system comprising:

• a chamber for dissolving said solid detergent while continuously submerged in a pool of water inside the chamber, comprising an interior space having an insertion opening that is closable by a cover, the insertion opening for receiving said solid detergent and being closable by the cover prior to the dissolving of the solid detergent in the water to create the detergent liquid, said chamber having inner walls that define the interior space,
• a water inlet positioned at the bottom of the chamber for connecting the chamber to a water supply, with the water inlet being coupled to a water inlet valve that permits the entry of water into the chamber when the water inlet valve is open and preventing entry of water into the chamber when the water inlet valve is closed;
• and
• a colander positioned inside the chamber for carrying said solid detergent, wherein said colander ensures a flow of water around the solid detergent and that all sides of the solid detergent will be constantly exposed to water in the chamber and water flow in the chamber, when said chamber is filled with water and, during the dissolving of the solid detergent, the solid detergent and water turn into a detergent liquid;
• a safety valve coupled to the chamber for reading pressure inside the chamber and for opening when pressure inside the chamber exceeds a limit;
• a measurement device positioned in the inner space of the chamber inside the pool of water for measuring the conductivity of the detergent liquid in the chamber to determine when the concentration of the detergent in the water is sufficient to permit release of concentrated detergent from the system;
• and
• a detergent liquid outlet positioned at the upper part of the chamber that is coupled to a valve that permits detergent liquid to exit the chamber when the valve is opened and that prevents detergent liquid from exiting the chamber when the valve is closed,
• wherein dissolving of the solid detergent in the pool of water is monitored based upon the measured conductivity of the liquid detergent by the measurement device, which is submerged in the pool of water.
