Abstract:
A uni-directional flow chemical dispenser device for introducing a chemical solution into a flow of liquid said device comprising:a housing adapted to be incorporated into a flow conduit line, said housing having an inflow end with an inflow conduit adapted to receive an inlet conduit and an outflow end with an outflow conduit adapted to receive an outlet conduit connected to a main body;a chemical dispenser means disposed within said housing and comprising an upper conduit segment connected to an apertured midsection segment connected to a lower chemical containing cartridge member;an annular seal member positioned between said housing and said upper conduit segment;said apertured midsection segment having at least one flow opening to allow liquid to flow into said upper conduit segment;said cartridge member comprising a closed bottom a side wall containing at least one intake aperture positioned in the upper portion of said side wall, and a top containing at least one dispensing aperture, said bottom, top and side wall defining an interior and containing a chemical in solid form;whereby liquid enters said housing through said inflow conduit, flows past said cartridge member, through said at least one flow opening in said apertured midsection segment, through said upper conduit segment and exits said housing through said outflow conduit;and further whereby as liquid passes said cartridge member, a small amount of said liquid enters said cartridge member through said intake aperture and contacts said chemical to dissolve said chemical and form a saturated chemical solution within said cartridge interior, and whereby said saturated solution is drawn from said cartridge member through said dispensing aperture in response to liquid flow through said apertured midsection segment and said upper conduit segment.
