MULTIPLE PRODUCT DISPENSING SYSTEM INCLUDING DISPENSER FOR FORMING USE SOLUTION FROM SOLID CHEMICAL COMPOSITIONS.

摘要

A multiple product dispensing system (100) includes a plurality of use solution dispensers (10a, 10b, 10c) and a controller (110) for selecting one of the dispensers (10a, 10b, 10c) according to a preset regimen, e.g., selecting different dispensers on different days of the week. Each dispenser (10a, 10b, 10c) dispenses a controlled concentration of use solution using a diluent delivery apparatus (13) that delivers a diluent to form a liquid concentrate from a solid chemical composition (22), and to form make-up diluent for diluting the liquid concentrate and forming a use solution of controlled concentration. A foam reducer (24) reduces the kinetic energy of the make-up diluent prior to mixing with the liquid concentrate to reduce foaming. An unskilled operator may operate the dispensing system (100) to dispense a use solution of carefully controlled concentration, and the controller (110) will automatically select the proper dispenser according to the preset regimen, without any additional input on the part of the operator. Therefore, the likelihood of operator error occurring is greatly reduced by the automatic selection of the proper dispenser (10a, 10b, 10c) and the control over use solution concentration.
