Abstract
A mechanical release system and method for eliminating scale conditions in water are described. The mechanical release system may include a pressure vessel comprising a head that has a through hole extending from an inlet to an outlet on opposite sides of the head, the through hole divided by at least a circumferential partial rib into an inlet section and an outlet section. Implementations may work without restricting water flow or “water-starving” equipment and control water before it enters equipment and create a scale-eliminating environment within water for extended periods of time (e.g., up to six months or more).
Claims6
A chemical release system comprising:
- a pressure vessel comprising:
- a head comprising:
- a through hole extending from an inlet to an outlet on opposite sides of the head, the through hole divided by at least a circumferential partial rib into an inlet section and an outlet section wherein the inlet section has a first size and the outlet section has a second size less than the first size of the inlet section;
- an inlet port and an outlet port on opposite sides of the circumferential partial rib extending downwardly from the inlet section and the outlet section respectively out a bottom of the head;
- wherein the inlet port has a first size and the outlet port has a second size that is one of less than the first size of the inlet port and equal to the first size of the inlet port;
- and
- wherein the outlet port comprises a single diameter as it extends from the outlet section out the bottom of the head and;
- wherein the inlet port and outlet port exit out the bottom of the head in substantially a same plane.
A chemical release system comprising:
- a pressure vessel comprising:
- a body defining an internal cavity and opposing upper and lower end openings;
- a head coupled to the upper end opening of the body, the head configured to couple in-line and in fluid communication with a cold water feed line running from a water source to equipment and to divert a portion of the water into and then out of the body, and the head comprising:
- a through hole extending from an inlet to an outlet on opposite sides of the head, the through hole divided by at least a circumferential partial rib into an inlet section and an outlet section, wherein the inlet section has a first size and the outlet section has a second size less than the first size of the inlet section;
- and
- an inlet port and an outlet port on opposite sides of the circumferential partial rib extending downwardly from the inlet section and the outlet section, respectively, out a bottom of the head, both the inlet port and the outlet port in fluid communication with the through hole and the internal cavity of the body;
- wherein the inlet port has a first size and the outlet port has a second size that is one of less than the first size of the inlet port and equal to the first size of the inlet port;
- and
- wherein the outlet port comprises a single diameter as it extends from the outlet section out the bottom of the head and;
- wherein the inlet port and outlet port exit out the bottom of the head in substantially in a same plane;
- and
- an end plug coupled to the lower end opening of the body;
- and
- a time-release pouch holding a composition that prevents the build-up of scale, the time-release pouch disposed within the internal cavity of the body.
