2. System Overview #

The dispenseIT Chemical Delivery System is a reliable, automated chemical delivery solution designed to ensure precise and consistent mixing and application of cleaning chemicals in car wash systems. Its primary function is to automate the accurate dilution and distribution of chemicals, ensuring optimal performance for a wide variety of car wash applications.

By using controlled solenoids and a highly efficient siphoning mechanism, the dispenseIT delivers the correct chemical concentration at precise intervals, reducing chemical waste and improving wash quality. The system integrates easily with a car wash’s existing control infrastructure and can be tailored to different setups through adjustable components, ensuring flexibility for any wash size or configuration.

2.1 Features & Functions #

innovateIT Car Wash Equipment LLC has developed the dispenseIT system as a reliable and precise chemical delivery solution designed to streamline the mixing and application of cleaning chemicals in car wash systems.

The dispenseIT uses Dema Rocket Injectors to accurately mix chemicals with water. The injectors create a siphon effect as water flows through them at high pressure, drawing the chemical from its container and mixing it with water. Adjustable dilution tips control the chemical-to-water ratio, ensuring accurate chemical dosing for each application.

All valves can be individually isolated, allowing the operator to repair or replace individual components or functions for maintenance or troubleshooting without shutting down the entire system. This improves efficiency and reduces downtime during repairs.

The system includes a Grundfos variable frequency drive (VFD) pump, which provides precise control over water flow and pressure. This allows for energy-efficient operation and consistent chemical delivery even under varying load conditions.

Additionally, the dispenseIT features an integrated electrical enclosure that houses the controls for both the chemical delivery system and the Grundfos pump. This enclosure simplifies installation and ensures that all electrical components are safely contained and protected, meeting local electrical codes.

The system operates at a maximum single function flow rate of 15 gallons per minute (GPM) and a maximum pressure of 200 PSI. It supports both wall-mounted and floor-mounted setups, with modularity for multiple water sources or split manifold systems, providing flexibility in installation.
