Claims20
A device for application of a concentrate in diluted form, the device comprising:
- at least one concentrate line to transport at least one concentrate from a respective concentrate container into the device;
- a container comprising a diluent for diluting the at least one concentrate;
- at least one outlet;
- and
- at least one pressure regulator to drive the at least one concentrate through the at least one concentrate line and to drive the diluent through a diluent line in the direction of the at least one outlet, wherein the at least one concentrate line is adapted to inject the at least one concentrate into a flow of the diluent to facilitate mixing by generating turbulence of the concentrate in the diluent.
A device for application of a concentrate in diluted form, the device comprising:
- at least one concentrate line to transport at least one concentrate from a respective concentrate container into the device;
- a container comprising a diluent for diluting the at least one concentrate;
- at least one outlet;
- and
- at least one pressure regulator to drive the at least one concentrate through the at least one concentrate line and to drive the diluent through a diluent line in the direction of the at least one outlet, wherein the at least one concentrate line is adapted to inject the at least one concentrate into the flow of the diluent immediately upstream from the at least one outlet, and wherein after an application, at least a portion of a residual amount of concentrate remaining in the at least one concentrate line is recycled to the respective concentrate container.
A method for application of a concentrate in diluted form, the method comprising:
- transporting a concentrate from a plurality of concentrate containers through at least one concentrate line in the direction of at least one outlet;
- injecting the concentrate into a flow of a diluent to facilitate mixing by generating turbulence of the concentrate in the diluent;
- and
- applying the concentrate diluted with the diluent.
