Abstract
An illustrative expendable or reconstructable ozone generator cartridge for an aqueous ozone delivery device, for example, for antimicrobial sanitizing and/or medical treatment, includes a housing for a water treatment manifold providing parallel and operably fixed water pathways through ozone generating cells coupled to the manifold, and optionally a data logging and authentication feature.
Claims23
An aqueous ozone generator cartridge, comprising:
- a water inlet for supplying water to the cartridge;
- a water outlet for expelling aqueous ozone from the cartridge;
- a water treatment manifold including a coaxial water passageways portion having an inner conduit located within an outer conduit, one of the inner and outer conduits fluidly coupled to the water inlet, and the other of the inner and outer conduit fluidly coupled to the water outlet;
- and
- at least one ozone generating cell having a generating portion located outside the inner conduit and fluidly coupled with the inner and outer conduits to enable the manifold to provide waterflow through the generating portion of each of the at least one ozone generating cells.
2 more elements
An aqueous ozone generator cartridge, comprising:
- an electrical connector;
- a water inlet for supplying water to the cartridge;
- a water outlet for expelling aqueous ozone from the cartridge;
- a water treatment manifold fluidly coupled to the water inlet and the water outlet;
- a housing enclosing the water treatment manifold;
- and
- a plurality of ozone generating cells located within the housing and having a generating portion receiving a power signal from the electrical connector and fluidly coupled with the water treatment manifold to provide a plurality of water pathways, each of the plurality of water pathways flows through the generating portion of only one of the plurality of ozone generating cells;
- and
- wherein the plurality of water pathways are fluidly parallel and operably fixed.
