Abstract
Systems and methods for delivering a gas, such as nitric oxide, are provided. In some embodiments, systems and methods are provided for delivering a gas, such as nitric oxide, in the form of nanobubbles and/or a dissolved gas using a liquid medium.
Claims21
A nanobubble generation system for generating a medicinal solution, comprising:
- a reservoir configured to store a liquid;
- a source of medicinal gas;
- a pump configured to propel the liquid from the reservoir;
- a nanobubble generator in the form of a venturi and in fluid communication with the reservoir and the source of medicinal gas, the nanobubble generator configured to form a nanobubble solution comprising nanobubbles of the medicinal gas in the liquid;
- a return flow path configured to deliver the nanobubble solution exiting the nanobubble generator to the reservoir such that the nanobubble solution passes through the nanobubble generator and the reservoir a plurality of times;
- and
- a controller configured to modulate a concentration of nanobubbles in the nanobubble solution using one or more inputs, the one or more inputs comprising the plurality of times the nanobubble solution passes through the return flow path.
