Ozone generation module

摘要

An ozone supply module for supplying ozonated water to an appliance that typically includes: an appliance module housing having a water inlet; a water outlet; and an electrical connection for receiving electrical power; a proton exchange membrane cell positioned within the housing; and a water conveying system within the module housing and operably connected to both the water inlet and water outlet. The water conveying system is typically configured to allow water to flow through the deionizing resin and into contact with the proton exchange membrane cell. The module and the proton exchange membrane cell receive electrical power from a home appliance when the module is operably connected to the appliance. The module produces water that contains (dissolved) ozone to be delivered to a chamber within the appliance when the module is in the engaged position with the appliance. The appliance is typically a residential appliance.

1. An ozone supply module for supplying ozonated water to an appliance comprising:
an appliance module housing comprising: a water inlet; a water outlet; and an electrical connection for receiving electrical power; a proton exchange membrane cell positioned within the appliance module housing; and a water conveying system within the appliance module housing and operably connected to both the water inlet and water outlet and configured to allow water to flow into contact with the proton exchange membrane cell and wherein the electrical connection allows the ozone supply module to receive electrical power from an appliance when the ozone supply module is operably connected to an appliance and supply electrical power to the proton exchange membrane cell and wherein the ozone supply module is capable of being removably changed between being engaged and disengaged with the appliance and wherein ozone supply module produces ozonated water to be delivered to an article processing chamber within the appliance when the ozone supply module is in an engaged position with the appliance and the ozonated water leaving the ozone supply module and being delivered to the article processing chamber; and wherein the ozone supply module is configured to be removably changed between being engaged and disengaged with the appliance, and wherein the ozone supply module further comprises a deionizing resin operable to remove dissolved metallic ions positioned within the ozone supply module.
