A flexible bag in the chamber contains a first liquid. First and second conduits are contained in the chamber. The first conduit connects the chamber to an outlet port in the container where the second conduit connects the bag to the first conduit. A supply source introduces a pressurized second liquid into the chamber. The first conduit serves to direct an existing flow of the second liquid from the chamber to the outlet port, with the pressurized second liquid serving to collapse the bag and expel the first liquid contained therein via the second conduit to the first conduit for mixture with the exiting flow of the second liquid. The second conduit lacks flow restrictions, such as metering orifices or the like. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A liquid dispensing system comprising: a first container (10) enclosing a chamber (12); a flexible container (18) in said chamber (12); a first liquid (20) contained in said flexible container (18); first and second conduits (22, 24) in said chamber (12), said first conduit (22) connecting said chamber (12) to an outlet port (26) in said first container (10), said second conduit (24) connecting said bag (18) to said first conduit (22), wherein said second conduit (24) is connected to said chamber (12) via an orifice (30) and said output port (26); and supply means (48) for introducing a pressurized second liquid (50) into said chamber (12), said first conduit (22) serving to direct an exiting flow of said second liquid (50) from said chamber (12) to said outlet port (26), with said pressurized second liquid (50) serving to collapse said flexible container (18) and expel the first liquid (20) contained therein via said second conduit (24) to said first conduit (22) for mixture with the exiting flow of said second liquid (50). ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The liquid dispensing system of claim 1 wherein said supply means (48) includes a constant flow valve (52) located externally of said first container (10). ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The liquid dispensing system of claim 1, wherein said first check valve (32) prevents a reverse flow of liquid into said chamber (12) or further comprising a second check valve (38) on said second conduit (24) for preventing a reverse flow of liquid into said flexible container (18). ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The liquid dispensing system of claim 1 wherein said first conduit (22) includes a metering orifice. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The liquid dispensing system of claim 1 wherein said second conduit (24) comprises a flexible tube (36) ### Claim 6 (depends on 3) The liquid dispensing system of claim 3 wherein said first and second check valves (32, 38) comprise duckbill valves. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The liquid delivery system of claim 1 wherein said supply means (48) is connected to said container (10) by a dry breakquick connect coupling (54). ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The liquid dispensing system of claim 1 wherein said first conduit (22) communicates with an upper region of said chamber (12), and wherein said pressurized liquid (50) is introduced into a lower region of said chamber (12) via an inlet port (56) in said first container (10). ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The liquid dispenses of claim 8 further comprising a third open ended bypass conduit (60) arranged between the interior of said first container (10) and said flexible container (18), said bypass conduit (60) extending from the lower region (RL) to the upper region (RU) of said chamber (12). ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The liquid dispensing system of claim 1 wherein said second conduit (24) comprises an orifice fitted to the opposite end of an elbow fitting. ### Claim 11 (depends on 11) The liquid dispensing system of claim 11 wherein said second conduit (24) comprises a first check valve (32) to provide a connection between said chamber (12) and said outlet port (26). ### Claim 12 A liquid dispensing system comprising: a first container (10) enclosing a chamber (12); a flexible container (18) in said chamber (12); a first liquid (20) contained in said bag (18); first and second conduits (22, 24) in said chamber (12), said first conduit (22) connecting said chamber (12) to an outlet port (26) in said first container (10), said second conduit (24) connecting said bag (18) to said first conduit (22);
