Abstract
A gas exchange deoxygenating unit is disclosed. The unit comprises a hollow mixing chamber having an upstream water inlet. A gas inlet located downstream of the water inlet delivers carbon dioxide gas to the mixing chamber. Stainless steel wool material within the chamber encourages turbulent water and gas flow and intimate water and gas intermixing. The mixed water and gas flows from the mixing chamber to a deoxygenating chamber containing a number of foraminous members mounted at spaced apart locations. Excess carbon dioxide gas and replaced oxygen is drawn from the deoxygenating chamber at a slight negative pressure. Below the deoxygenating chamber is a water collecting tank, which mounts controls for adjusting the level of water in the tank and flow rate of water through the apparatus.
