Estimating the term…
A method, apparatus, and system for obtaining a solution from a solid product are disclosed. A solid product is housed in a dispenser. A liquid is introduced into the housing of the dispenser to interact with the solid product to form a solution. To control the concentration of the formed solution, the turbulence of the liquid introduced to the dispenser is controlled and adjusted either manually or on a real time basis to account for varying characteristics of either or both of the solid product and the liquid. The dispenser will adjust the turbulence based on the characteristics to maintain a formed solution within an acceptable range of concentration. The concentrated solution can then be discharged from the dispenser to an end use application.
A method for obtaining a solution from a solid product and a liquid, comprising:
The method of claim I wherein the step of adjusting the liquid turbulence comprises changing a geometry of the flow path of the liquid prior to contacting the solid product.
A dispenser configured to obtain a solution from a solid product and a liquid, comprising:
A method of controlling the concentration of a solution of a solid product and a liquid dispensed from a dispenser, comprising:
