Abstract
An eroding assembly for use in water-soluble chemical feeder where a solid chemical material is eroded by water so as to produce a sanitizing solution of dissolved chemical and water having removable components in its structure for ease of cleaning and removal of any undissolved chemical material, particularly the sieve plate and weir.
Claims9
An eroding assembly, comprising:
- an eroding chamber,
- the eroding chamber having an eroding chamber upper member and an eroding chamber lower member,
- the eroding chamber upper member and the eroding chamber lower member defined by a slidably removable sieve plate,
- the eroding chamber lower member in communication with a mixing chamber tank, the slidably removable sieve plate having a sieve therethrough adapted to provide fluid communication between the eroding chamber upper member and the eroding chamber lower member,
- a weir body removably attached to the eroding chamber upper member and adapted to limit fluid communication from the eroding chamber upper member to a mixing chamber tank;
- and
- a flow impeder selected from the group consisting of a penetrating slot and a water-impregnable dam, wherein
- the penetrating slot penetrating through the slidably removable sieve plate intermediate the sieve and an adjacent removable sieve plate first end or intermediate the sieve and a removable sieve plate second end,
- the penetrating slot having a slot width sufficient to prevent surface tension across the penetrating slot,
- the penetrating slot having a slot length sufficient to prevent surface tension across the penetrating slot,
- the water-impregnable dam positioned on a removable sieve plate top surface, the water-impregnable dam having a profile across the slidably removable sieve plate, the water-impregnable dam having a water-impregnable dam thickness sufficient to impede water flow on the removable sieve plate top surface exiting the eroding chamber 200.
