Abstract
A liquid additive feed system integrateable into a pressure controlled fluid flow line, which may include a liquid reservoir, a manifold, a flow line pressure regulation module, a flow controlled inlet line, a flow controlled feed line, and a diffusion interface, which dynamically adjustably delivers a metered dosage of liquid additive into a controlled aqueous flow delivery system.
Claims3
A liquid additive feed system integrateable into a pressure controlled flow line comprising:
- a manifold having a conduit to communicate a directional fluid flow;
- a manifold restrictor positioned in the conduit to effect a decrease in pressure in the directional fluid flow;
- an inlet line in fluid communication with the manifold conduit prior to the manifold restrictor, relative to the directional fluid flow;
- a feed line in fluid communication with the manifold conduit subsequent to the manifold restrictor, relative to the directional fluid flow;
- a reservoir with a common interior for containing an additive and accepting a fluid flow portion of the directional fluid flow;
- the reservoir in fluid communication with the manifold via both the inlet line and the feed line;
- a diffusion interface in fluid communication with, and intermediate to, the inlet line and the reservoir;
- the diffusion interface comprising a fill structure internal surface and an inlet tube outlet;
- and
- the inlet tube outlet spaced apart from and non-parallel to the fill structure internal surface.
