A dispenser for dispensing at two flow rates eductively draws a chemical fluid such as a concentrated cleaning solution for diluting with a motive fluid such as water. Using eduction rather than gravity feed provides a consistent dilution ratio over a range of pressures of the motive fluid. A chemical reservoir contains the chemical fluid and a bottle insert assembly for interfacing to the dispenser. The bottle insert assembly seals an opening to the reservoir when the reservoir is not inserted in the dispenser, preventing leaks. Also, the bottle insert assembly includes dual pickup tubes, each with a purge accumulator, to allow dual rate flow at the same or different dilution ratios as well as drawing back unused chemical fluids from the dispenser to avoid carryover or contamination.
A method of mixing in an eductor a chemical fluid stored in a reservoir with a motive fluid, the chemical fluid being drawn through a conduit from the reservoir into a venturi of the eductor when the motive fluid passes through the eductor, the conduit being in fluid communication with a pickup tube inside the reservoir, the pickup tube having a purge accumulator, the method comprising:
A detachable reservoir for a dispenser that dispenses a chemical fluid drawn from the reservoir eductively diluted into a motive fluid at two flow rates, the dispenser having two conduits for drawing the chemical fluid into respective eductors, the reservoir comprising:
A dispenser comprising:
A dispenser comprising:
A bottle for a dispenser that dispenses a chemical fluid drawn from the reservoir eductively diluted into a motive fluid at two flow rates, the dispenser having two conduits for drawing the chemical fluid into respective eductors, a first and second pickup tube for insertion into the bottle, and a cartridge that is in fluid communication between the two conduits and the two pickup tubes, the bottle comprising:
A dispenser comprising:
