Dispenser

A cooling tower water purification system including a flow controllable dispensing valve wherein water is periodically added to the water purification system as cooling tower water recirculates to and from a cooling tower through the flow controllable dispensing valve with the flow controllable dispensing valve containing a top that can be removed to expose a cartridge chamber therein:

• a replaceable water purification cartridge having a closed top and an antimicrobial chamber with an antimicrobial agent therein that can be inserted into the cartridge chamber in the flow controllable dispensing valve;
• a bottom water inlet in the water purification cartridge for receiving a stream of water from the dispensing valve;
• and
• a bottom water outlet in the water purification cartridge for directing the stream of water from the dispensing valve through a portion of an antimicrobial agent comprising a batch of BCDMH particles sufficiently large so as not pass through a 20 mesh screen.

An evaporative cooling and water purification system comprising;

• an evaporator having a water inlet for cooling water, a water outlet and a water vapor vent;
• an inline dispenser having a cartridge chamber, an outlet in fluid communication with the water inlet in the evaporator, an inlet in fluid commination with the water outlet of the evaporator and a selector valve for controlling a flow rate of a stream of water flowing through the inline dispenser;
• a replaceable cartridge with a dispersant chamber located in the cartridge chamber of said inline dispenser, said replaceable cartridge having a first bottom extension port mateable with a base port in the inline dispenser, a second bottom extension port mateable with a further base port in the inline dispenser, a closed top and a sidewall diverging from said closed top to a bottom portion of said dispersant chamber;
• a batch of granular BCDMH particles located in the dispersant chamber in said replaceable cartridge with at least a portion of said batch of granular BCDMH particles in fluid contact with a stream of water flowing into the first bottom extension of the replaceable cartridge and out of the second bottom extension of the replaceable cartridge with an increase in the flow rate of the stream of water correspondingly increasing a rate of release of BCDMH from the inline dispenser and a decrease in the flow rate of the stream of water therethrough correspondingly decreasing the rate of release of BCDMH from the inline dispenser;
• and
• a source of additional water for replacing water evaporated from the evaporator.

A method of ridding a cooling tower water system of harmful organism wherein water is periodically added to the cooling tower water system comprising the step of:

• placing a batch of cluster inhibiting particles into a dispensing cartridge having downwardly diverging sidewalls;
• placing the dispensing cartridge into a dispensing valve having a valve for controlling a flow rate of a stream of water having harmful organism through the dispensing valve;
• directing the stream of water having harmful organisms therein into a bottom inlet of the dispensing cartridge and into the batch of cluster inhibiting particles and then out of the dispensing cartridge through a bottom outlet of the dispensing cartridge;
• measuring the output rate of BCDMH from the dispensing cartridge as a function of the flow rate of the stream of water through the dispenser changes;
• and
• increasing the size of BCDMH particles in the dispensing cartridge if the output of BCDMH from the dispensing cartridge is non linear.

A method of uniformly increasing or decreasing the BCDMH output in an evaporative cooling and water purification system wherein water is added to the system on the go comprising;

• directing water into an evaporator having a water inlet for cooling water, a water outlet and a water vapor vent from an inline dispenser having a cartridge chamber, containing a replaceable cartridge with a dispersant chamber located in the cartridge chamber of said inline dispenser, said replaceable cartridge having a first bottom extension port mateable with a base port in the inline dispenser, a second bottom extension port mateable with a base port in the inline dispenser, a closed top and a sidewall diverging from said closed top to a bottom of said dispersant chamber;
• an outlet in fluid communication with the water inlet in the evaporator, an inlet in fluid commination with the water outlet of the evaporator and a selector valve for controlling a flow rate of a stream of water flowing through a first batch of flowable granular BCDMH particles located in a lower portion of the dispersant chamber in said replaceable cartridge with said batch of granular BCDMH particles located in a lower portion of the dispersant chamber in fluid contact with the stream of water flowing into the first bottom extension of the first replaceable cartridge and out of the second bottom extension of the first replaceable cartridge with so that an increase in a flow rate of the stream of water causes a correspondingly increase in a rate of release of BCDMH from the inline dispenser and a decrease in the flow rate of the stream of water causes correspondingly decrease in the rate of release of BCDMH from the inline dispenser as water is periodical added to the system to replace water evaporated from said evaporator.
