Abstract

A dispenser system includes at least one main tubular element, at least one nozzle, and openings formed on the main tubular element. The at least one nozzle receives and injects a first fluid inside the main tubular element. The openings in conjunction with the nozzle enable fluid circulation between inside and outside of the main tubular element.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method of dispensing a fluid, comprising:
submerging an at least one main tubular element in a second fluid body;
introducing a first fluid inside the at least one main tubular element through at least one nozzle and simultaneously increasing a velocity of the first fluid inside the at least one main tubular element;
circulating a second fluid from outside the at least one main tubular element inside the at least one main tubular element through openings formed on the at least one main tubular element.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising egressing the first fluid from the at least one main tubular element after mixing the first fluid with the second fluid inside the at least one main tubular element.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one main tubular element is of uniform cross-section.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one main tubular element is converging in a direction of flow of the first fluid.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one nozzle is centrally disposed inside the at least one main tubular element.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein a rotameter is disposed along a fluid line connecting the pump to the at least one nozzle.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one nozzle is disposed proximal to the openings.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one nozzle is a converging nozzle.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one main tubular element comprises a plurality of auxiliary tubular elements emanating therefrom and in fluid communication therewith to configure fluid circulation of the second fluid from outside the at least one main tubular element to inside the at least one main tubular element.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein at least one of the auxiliary tubular elements converges towards the at least one main tubular element along an axis thereof.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the auxiliary tubular elements are angularly spaced with respect to each other along a periphery of the at least one main tubular element.

12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the auxiliary tubular elements are disposed diametrically opposite to each other.

13. The method of claim 9 , wherein the auxiliary tubular elements are inclined at an angle with respect to the at least one main tubular element.

14. The method of claim 9 , wherein at least one of the auxiliary tubular elements forms an acute angle with a corresponding at least one main tubular element.

15. The method of claim 9 , wherein the at least one main tubular element has a diameter “D” that is at least 4 times the diameter “d” of the auxiliary tubular element.

16. The method of claim 1 , wherein a first at least one main tubular element and a second at least one main tubular element are of different diameters, the first at least one main tubular element is co-axially arranged with respect to the second at least one main tubular element and an annular space between the first and second at least one main tubular elements enables the fluid circulation.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein a first free end of the first at least one main tubular element is co-axially received within the second at least one main tubular element to define annular space between the first and second at least one main tubular elements that enable fluid circulation loops.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the diameter of the at least one second main tubular element is at least 1.2 times the diameter of the first at least one main tubular element.
