Abstract
A nitric oxide repletion system in accordance with an embodiment of the present technology may disperse therapeutic constituents into a reservoir holding a body of liquid. The nitric oxide repletion system may comprise a reservoir, and a liquid circulation system for generating a fluid flow comprising a pump, a main liquid conduit, a venturi injector, an ultrafine bubble (UFB) generator, a main return, a nitric oxide dispensing system and a mineral dispensing system. The nitric oxide repletion system may further comprise a control panel. In some embodiments, the nitric oxide repletion system may further comprise a gas supply and a gas injector system for supplying a desired gas to the venturi injector or the UFB generator.
Claims15
A therapeutic soaking system for dispersing therapeutic constituents into a body of liquid, comprising:
- a reservoir;
- a main inlet in fluid communication with the reservoir;
- a main liquid conduit configured to receive a main flow of liquid from the main inlet;
- a pump in fluid communication with the main liquid conduit and configured to regulate a flow rate of the main flow of liquid out of the reservoir;
- a venturi injector configured to receive a first portion of the main flow of liquid from the pump;
- an ultrafine bubble generator configured to receive the first portion of the flow of liquid from the venturi injector;
- a main return configured to dispense the first portion of the flow of liquid from the ultrafine bubble generator into the reservoir;
- a nitric oxide dispensing system in fluid communication with the pump, wherein the nitric oxide dispensing system comprises:
- a compartment for receiving a nitric oxide releasing composition;
- into the compartment;
- a valve coupled downstream from the first inlet for regulating an incoming flow of the second portion of the liquid;
- and
- at least one outlet for expelling a nitric oxide infused liquid into the reservoir, wherein the nitric oxide dispensing system is configured to:
- receive a second portion of the main flow of liquid from the pump;
- and
- dispense the nitric oxide releasing composition into the second portion of the main flow of liquid flowing from the pump into the reservoir;
- and
- a mineral dispensing system in fluid communication with the pump, wherein the mineral dispensing system comprises:
- a second compartment for receiving a mineral releasing composition:
- a second inlet for receiving a third portion of the liquid from the pump into the second compartment;
- a second valve coupled downstream from the second inlet for regulating an incoming flow of the third portion of the liquid;
- and
- at least one second outlet for expelling a mineral infused liquid into the reservoir, and wherein the mineral dispensing system is configured to:
- receive the third portion of the main flow of liquid from the pump;
- and
- dispense the mineral releasing composition into the third portion of the main flow of liquid flowing from the pump into the reservoir.
A therapeutic soaking system for dispersing therapeutic constituents into a body of liquid contained within a reservoir, comprising:
- a liquid conduit system in fluid communication with the reservoir and configured to facilitate a flow of liquid through the therapeutic soaking system, wherein the liquid conduit system comprises:
- a series of liquid conduits;
- a pump configured to provide a main flow of liquid into a first liquid conduit;
- a nitric oxide dispensing system in fluid communication with the pump, wherein the nitric oxide dispensing system is configured to:
- receive a second portion of the main flow of liquid from the pump through a second liquid conduit;
- and
- dispense a nitric oxide releasing composition into the reservoir;
- and
- a mineral dispensing system in fluid communication with the pump, wherein the mineral dispensing system is configured to:
- receive a third portion of the main flow of liquid from the pump through a third liquid conduit;
- and
- dispense a mineral releasing composition into the reservoir.
A method for dispersing therapeutic constituents into a reservoir holding a body of liquid, comprising:
- pumping a main flow of liquid from an inlet in fluid communication with the reservoir;
- pumping a first portion of liquid from the main flow through a first liquid conduit coupled to a venturi injector and ultrafine bubble generator in fluid communication with the reservoir;
- pumping a second portion of liquid from the main flow through a second liquid conduit coupled to a nitric oxide dispensing system in fluid communication with the reservoir, wherein the nitric oxide dispensing system is configured to dispense a nitric oxide composition into the reservoir;
- pumping a third portion of liquid from the main flow through a third liquid conduit coupled to a mineral dispensing system in fluid communication with the reservoir, wherein the mineral dispensing system if configured to dispense a mineral composition into the reservoir.
