US 2025/0367689 A1 · FLUID DIFFUSION AND STORAGE CARTRIDGE SYSTEM AND METHOD

Abstract

A unitary cartridge designed to store and diffuse and dispense fluid via atomization is provided. The system generally comprises a cartridge, fluid, manifold, and air supply, wherein the air supply injects air through the manifold and into the cartridge through an air inlet of the cartridge. The air is manipulated by the cartridge in a way that creates a stream of fast-moving air above a fluid within the cartridge. This results in a zone of lower pressure above the fluid that results in the fluid to be suctioned into said stream of fast-moving air where it is atomized. The atomized fluid is then carried by the stream of fast-moving air out an atomization outlet where it is dispersed within the environment. One embodiment includes multiple cartridges, each containing different liquids, removably mounted to a common manifold supplying pressurized air to each cartridge, each of which diffuses the respective liquid and disperses the atomized liquid into a shared environment for mixing.

Dependent claims

A system configured to store and atomize and disperse an unclaimed liquid, the system comprising a casing defining:

(a) a reservoir storing the liquid to be atomized and comprising a bottom connection point;
(b) an air duct comprising an upstream air inlet and a downstream choke point having a cross-sectional area smaller than the cross-sectional area of the air duct upstream of the choke point;
(c) an atomization outlet;
and
(d) a vacuum channel comprising a junction point in fluid communication with said bottom connection point, and an upper connection point in fluid communication with said air duct downstream of and near the choke point;
and
wherein, air supplied by an unclaimed air supply enters the air inlet under pressure and travels into the air duct and through the choke point, converting the air into an air jet and lowering the downstream air pressure of the air duct near the choke point, creating a Venturi vacuum suctioning the liquid up the vacuum channel and into the air jet, thereby atomizing the liquid and propelling it out of the atomization outlet.
