Method and apparatus for continuous or intermittent supply of ozonated water

A method for continuously or intermittently providing ozonated water, the method comprising the steps of:

• generating ozone;
• entraining said ozone in water in a closed loop circulating and storage system comprising a holding vessel for storing ozonated water;
• allowing selective removal of ozonated water from said holding vessel;
• and
• recirculating ozonated water not removed from the circulating and storage system.

Apparatus for the production and selectively continuous or intermittent dispensation of ozonated fluids for use in disinfecting food and other items, the apparatus comprising:

• an ozone generator;
• a water circulating system;
• a device for entraining ozone generated by said ozone generator in water circulated by said water circulating system,
• a reservoir for holding ozonated water;
• a water withdrawal system adapted to allow withdrawal of ozonated water from the apparatus;
• and
• means for recirculating water not withdrawn from said reservoir through said entraining means.

Apparatus for the production and selectively continuous or intermittent dispensation of ozonated water for use in disinfecting food and other items, the apparatus comprising:

• a water circulating system;
• an ozone generator;
• an eductor for entraining ozone generated by said ozone generator in water circulated by said circulating system;
• a reservoir for holding ozonated water;
• and
• a water withdrawal system for allowing withdrawal of ozonated water from the apparatus.

Apparatus for the production and selectively continuous or intermittent dispensation of ozonated fluids, the apparatus consisting essentially of:

• a water circulating system;
• an ozone generator;
• an eductor for entraining ozone generated by said ozone generator in water circulated by said circulating system;
• a holding vessel for storing ozonated water;
• and
• a water withdrawal system for allowing withdrawal of ozonated water from the apparatus.
