Turbine driven chemical dispenser

A method of diluting and dispensing a chemical concentrate, comprising the steps of:

• providing a turbine having a diluent inlet and a diluent outlet, the diluent inlet being configured for direct connection with a supply of pressurized diluent;
• providing a pump having a chemical inlet and a chemical outlet, the chemical inlet being configured for connection with a supply of chemical concentrate;
• and
• mechanically connecting the turbine with the pump to allow the pump to be driven by operation of the turbine when diluent flows through the turbine;
• providing a mixing chamber having at least one mixing inlet and a mixing outlet;
• providing a vertical gap separating the diluent outlet from the mixing inlet;
• and
• allowing diluent from the diluent outlet of the turbine and chemical concentrate from the chemical outlet of the pump to separately flow into the at least one mixing inlet of the mixing chamber.

A chemical dispensing device comprising:

• a turbine having a diluent inlet and a diluent outlet;
• a pump having a chemical inlet and a chemical outlet, wherein the pump is connected with and actuated by rotation of the turbine;
• a mixing chamber having at least one mixing inlet and a mixing outlet;
• a vertical gap separating the diluent outlet and the chemical outlet from the mixing inlet;
• wherein the diluent inlet is configured for direct connection with a supply of diluent;
• wherein the pump inlet is configured for connection with a supply of chemical concentrate;
• and
• wherein the diluent is directed through the turbine and the chemical concentrate is directed through the pump and wherein the diluent and the chemical concentrate are subsequently gravity fed through the vertical gap to the at least one mixing inlet of the mixing chamber.
