Reaction vessel for an ozone cleaning system

A reaction vessel for entraining ozone gas in an aqueous solution in an industrial cleaning system, comprising:

• a conical-shaped surface having a plurality of edges or ridges, the conical-shaped surface defining a generally hollow interior, and the plurality of edges or ridges are in contact with the generally hollow interior;
• the conical shaped surface has sloping sides leading to an opening;
• the opening is in fluidic communication with a cavity, and the opening separates the conical shaped surface from the cavity,
• an inlet port in a bottom of the reaction vessel in fluidic communication with a supply of an aqueous ozone solution to supply the aqueous ozone solution into the cavity and to the conical-shaped surface;
• a supply of water in communication with the reaction vessel at the top of the reaction vessel, wherein the supply of water directs water to the conical-shaped surface, and the water mixes with the aqueous ozone solution from the inlet port;
• and
• an outlet in fluidic communication with the industrial cleaning system.

A reaction vessel for entraining ozone gas in an aqueous solution in an industrial cleaning system, comprising:

• a conical-shaped surface having a plurality of edges or ridges;
• an opening at the narrowest portion of the conical-shaped surface;
• a supply of an aqueous ozone solution in communication with a bottom of the reaction vessel to supply the aqueous ozone solution to the conical-shaped surface via the opening;
• and
• a supply of water in communication with a top of the reaction vessel, wherein the supply of water directs water to the conical-shaped surface, and the water mixes with the aqueous ozone solution;
• and
• the conical shaped surface increases in diameter toward an outlet, and a mixture of the water and the aqueous ozone solution exits the reaction vessel through the outlet.
