Abstract
A plasma-activated gas generated by a plasma-activated gas generator is mixed with a liquid in a variety of ways to generate a gas activated liquid. The gas activated liquid may be applied to various items, surfaces, and/or added to fluid volumes to affect chemical specifies and organism therein.
Claims19
A gas and fluid mixing system comprising:
- a fluid inlet;
- an inlet fluid manifold coupled to the fluid inlet;
- a fluid outlet;
- an outlet fluid manifold coupled to the fluid outlet;
- a gas distribution manifold having a gas inlet;
- a plurality of fluid conduits between the inlet fluid manifold and the outlet fluid manifold;
- an infusing member in each fluid conduit;
- and
- a gas conduit coupled to each infusing member from the gas distribution manifold;
- wherein a fluid is operable to enter the fluid inlet and flow to the fluid outlet through the inlet fluid manifold, the plurality of fluid conduits, and the outlet fluid manifold while being infused with a gas at each infusing member from the gas inlet through the gas distribution manifold to each gas conduit;
- wherein each of the fluid conduits extend and allow for fluid flow between the inlet fluid manifold and the outlet fluid manifold.

A plasma activated gas (PAG) generating system operable to generate PAG, comprising:
- a casing extending from a first end to a second end;
- a plate separating a first portion of the casing from a second portion of the casing between the first end and the second end of the casing;
- at least one corona generating member positioned a distance from the plate;
- and
- a generator configured to generate a voltage at the generating member relative to the plate;
- wherein the plate includes at least one hole through which an electron is operable to travel to affect a gas;
- wherein gas is operable to flow from the first end of the casing in the first portion of the casing to the second end of the casing in the second portion of the casing.
