Fluid dispersion assembly

摘要

A fluid dispersion assembly comprises a diffusion unit disposed in fluid communication with a fluid container, the assembly being powered by a compressed air source. The diffusion unit at least partially defines a diffusion chamber, and includes a diffusion assembly containing an atomizer assembly which, in combination with the diffusion chamber, generates a fluid dispersion from a mixture of compressed air and an operative fluid, for example, fragrant oils, essential oils, odor neutralizers, disinfectants such as triethylene glycol, air sanitizers, etc. The diffusion unit may include a suppressor assembly and/or a silencer assembly to reduce the amount of noise generated during operation. In one alternate embodiment, a modified diffusion chamber is provided which functions as a suppression chamber, thereby reducing the noise generated during operation of the assembly.

1. A fluid dispersion assembly operatively engages a container of an operative fluid and a compressed air source and generates and discharges a fluid dispersion into a surrounding airspace, said fluid dispersion assembly comprising:
a diffusion unit at least partially defining an enclosed diffusion chamber, a service access port at least partially defining an access opening into said diffusion unit, and a service access plug removably disposable in a sealing engagement with said service access port, a discharge port disposed in fluid communication between said diffusion chamber and the surrounding airspace, a diffusion assembly disposed in an operative engagement with said diffusion unit, wherein said diffusion assembly comprises an atomizer assembly, said atomizer assembly comprising an atomizer air inlet channel, a fluid inlet, a mixing chamber, and an atomizer exhaust channel, said atomizer air inlet channel interconnected to the compressed air source and said fluid inlet disposed in fluid communication with the operative fluid in the container, wherein the compressed air and the operative fluid are mixed together in said mixing chamber to form the fluid dispersion, and a suppressor assembly disposed in communication with said diffusion assembly, said suppressor assembly comprising a suppression chamber structured to dampen sound waves generated during operation of said fluid dispersion assembly.
