ULTRA-FINE BUBBLE GENERATING UNIT AND ULTRA-FINE BUBBLE-CONTAINING LIQUID MANUFACTURING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17862569 titled 'ULTRA-FINE BUBBLE GENERATING UNIT AND ULTRA-FINE BUBBLE-CONTAINING LIQUID MANUFACTURING APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an invention related to an ultra-fine bubble (UFB) generating unit and a UFB-containing liquid manufacturing apparatus. The goal of this invention is to maintain stable UFB generation efficiency and produce a high-quality UFB-containing liquid with minimal variation.

  • The UFB generating unit has a specific configuration with a certain number of heating elements arranged in a direction of liquid flow (arrow F direction) and a corresponding number of heating elements arranged perpendicular to the arrow F direction.
  • The heating element substrate of the UFB generating unit satisfies a relationship where the number of heating elements in the liquid flow direction (n) multiplied by the number of heating elements perpendicular to the liquid flow direction (n) is equal to a specific value (nn).

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Water treatment: Ultra-fine bubbles can be used for various water treatment applications, such as improving dissolved oxygen levels, enhancing nutrient delivery in aquaculture, and removing pollutants.
  • Agriculture: UFB-containing liquids can be utilized in agriculture to improve soil health, enhance nutrient absorption by plants, and increase crop yields.
  • Medical and cosmetic industries: Ultra-fine bubbles have potential applications in wound healing, skincare, and drug delivery systems.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Maintaining stable UFB generation efficiency: The invention ensures consistent and reliable generation of ultra-fine bubbles, reducing variations in bubble size and concentration.
  • Producing high-quality UFB-containing liquid: The invention aims to minimize variations in the quality of the UFB-containing liquid, ensuring a consistent and reliable product.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced efficiency: The invention allows for stable UFB generation, maximizing the efficiency of bubble-based processes in various industries.
  • Improved product quality: By reducing variations in the UFB-containing liquid, the invention ensures a high-quality product with consistent properties.
  • Versatility: The technology can be applied to different fields, offering potential benefits in water treatment, agriculture, and medical/cosmetic industries.


Original Abstract Submitted

An ultra-fine bubble generating unit and an ultra-fine bubble-containing liquid manufacturing apparatus. Provided is an ultra-fine bubble generating unit and an ultra-fine bubble-containing liquid manufacturing apparatus capable of maintaining stable UFB generation efficiency and generating a high-quality UFB-containing liquid with less variation. To this end, the number of heating elements arrayed along a direction of a liquid flowing over the heating elements (arrow F direction) is n and the number of the heating elements arrayed to cross the arrow F direction is n In this case, a heating element substrate of a UFB generating unit in the present embodiment has a configuration in which a relationship of nn is satisfied.
