Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for disinfecting the piping of whirlpools, which are equipped with a piping system for water, and / or a piping system for air.
  • Whirlpools enjoy a great popularity, as they allow not only a cleansing but also a relaxation of the body.
  • the relaxation is achieved by the Whirpooldüsen flows through the mixed with air water under increased pressure in the bath while doing a pleasant, light body massage.
  • the piping system can only be charged with water and the admixture of air by means of Venturi nozzles done.
  • the injection of air into the tub also gives the desired massage effect.
  • the invention has the task of providing a method and apparatus for disinfecting the pipes of whirlpools, which avoid the disadvantages mentioned and ensure not only effective disinfection of the water-bearing, but also the air-conducting piping system.
  • the bathing water is first drained. Subsequently, a present in liquid form disinfectant is sprayed with suitable devices known per se and applied to the piping system of the whirlpool with the formed mist.
  • the mist is preferably added to an air stream and the air flow is directed into the corresponding pipelines.
  • the use of a disinfectant in the fog-like state - or after evaporation of the mist in the gaseous state - opens up the possibility of reaching all angles and corners of the conduit system and thus effectively disinfecting all elements of the whirlpool system.
  • the proposed method is used equally for disinfecting the water and the air-conducting system. After application, the disinfectant is effective at all Interior walls down and remains there as a film. It thus ensures a disinfection of the pipe system after bathing and reliably prevents its contamination.
  • the nebulization of the disinfectant can be done in principle in different ways.
  • it is proposed to carry out the atomization using a suction nozzle, preferably a venturi, through which gas under elevated pressure flows.
  • the disinfectant is sucked into the suction line of the nozzle and added as a mist to the gas stream, which is passed through the pipeline system in the further course.
  • the atomization of the disinfectant by means of Venturi nozzle and compressed gas with very simple means allows a very effective atomization.
  • the inventive method also allows effective disinfection of all elements of the water and air-bearing system of a hot tub.
  • the pipeline system for water is exposed to dry air.
  • any residual water remaining in the pipeline system is possibly blown out of the pipelines and, on the other hand, the inner walls of the pipes are dried.
  • the latter process means that the microbe-friendly climate in the interior of the tubes an essential basis - the moisture - is removed and the applied on the inner walls disinfectant can thus exert its effect reinforced.
  • the mist is generated in a known manner by a propellant gas which presses the liquid to be atomized through a nozzle and thereby finely distributed.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of a block diagram with the essential elements of the device according to the invention.
  • Its basic structure includes a whirlpool 1 with a water-carrying system 2, an air duct system 3 and elements 4 for performing the disinfection.
  • the elements of the water cycle are deposited with a dot matrix, while the elements of the air duct system are shown without deposit.
  • the water cycle comprises a suction port 5, a circulating pump 6, lines for guiding the water 7 and Whirlpooldüsen 8 for water emission.
  • the air guidance system is equipped with a suction opening for air 9, a fan 10, conduits for guiding the air 11 and air outlet openings, which are integrated in the Whirlpooldüsen 8.
  • the elements 4 for performing the disinfection of the pipeline system comprise a venturi 12, a container 14 connected by means of a line 13 with disinfectant 15 and a compressed air tank 16, which is connected via the line 17 to the input side of the Venturi 12. Furthermore, shut-off valves 18-20 and a line 21 leading to the inlet side of the compressed air tank 16 are provided, via which the compressed air tank is connected to a compressor (not shown).
  • the two shut-off valves 18 and 19 are opened after draining the bath water.
  • both the water-bearing 5-8, as well as the air-conducting system 8 - 11 made the disinfection available.
  • the Disinfection is initiated by opening the valve 20 which controls the supply of air from the pressure vessel 16 to the venturi 12.
  • the gas flowing into the nozzle 12 sucks in disinfectant 15 via the suction line 13 and atomizes it as it enters the nozzle.
  • the disinfectant-enriched air then penetrates the piping system of the spa, whereby the disinfectant is deposited on the inner walls of the pipelines and thus ensures a reliable disinfection of all elements of the piping system.
