Abstract
The disclosed technology includes a portable hand washing station having a sink with an atomizing nozzle that can provide an ultra-low flow of atomized liquid. The atomizing nozzle can reduce consumption of water and reduce the required supply of power for adequate operation of a heating device and a pump of the portable hand washing station. The heating device can include insulation, such that the heating device can provide heated water during an extended operation period.
Claims19
A portable hand washing station comprising:
- a housing defining a cavity;
- a sink attached to the housing, the sink including:
- a faucet having an atomizing nozzle configured to provide an ultra-low flow of atomized liquid;
- and
- a basin having a drain;
- a clean water tank disposed within the cavity and being in fluid communication with the faucet;
- a waste water tank disposed within the cavity and being in fluid communication with the drain;
- a pump configured to transport liquid from the clean water tank to the faucet;
- and
- a heating device configured to heat liquids, the heating device being in fluid communication with the clean water tank and the faucet;
- and
- a water recovery system configured to recycle waste water collected in the waste water tank, the water recovery system comprising:
- one or more low-micron filters, and
- an ultraviolet light source.
A portable hand washing station comprising:
- a housing defining a cavity;
- a sink attached to the housing, the sink including:
- a faucet having an atomizing nozzle configured to provide an ultra-low flow of atomized liquid;
- and
