OXYGEN ENRICHED LIQUIDS, METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MAKING, AND APPLICATIONS THEREOF

摘要

A process for enriching a liquid with oxygen by introducing the liquid into an oxygen enriching vessel (1), subdividing the liquid, subjecting the interior of the vessel (1) to an oxygen pressure of at least about 20 psi, conducting the introduced water in a substantially flowing contact with the oxygen, and recovering the water under oxygen pressure when it is to be bottled. The process is carried out in oxygen enriching apparatus having an oxygen enriching vessel (1), a number of horizontal trays (4), vertically spaced apart from each other and having a central opening, a liquid supply tube (2) arranged into the interior of the enriching vessel (1) through the central openings, means (3) for discharging liquid from the tube (2) onto a tray (4) , an oxygen supply source (9) for providing the oxygen to the vessel, and a liquid outlet (13) for the removal of the oxygenated liquid. The liquids oxygenated by the invention are used in various aerobic and therapeutic processes.
