Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If a large amount of ozone gas is injected into water to increase dissolution efficiency, then the concentration of dissolved ozone is improved, but economic cost and damage to exhaust ozone increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveconcentration of dissolved ozoneVSAvoideconomic cost and exhaust ozone damage

Core Design Contradiction:

Quantity of substanceVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

A hydrophobic coating is applied to the inner surface of the pressurization chamber, acting as an intermediary that prevents ozone gas from directly contacting and escaping through the water surface, thereby reducing exhaust ozone loss while maintaining high dissolution efficiency

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention changes the surface property parameter of the pressurization chamber by applying a hydrophobic coating, which alters the interaction between ozone gas and the chamber surface, reducing ozone escape and improving dissolution efficiency

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

2Quantity of substance

If water is decomposed to individual water molecules using a water decomposing device and mixed with ozone gas using a separate pressure device, then high-concentration ozone-dissolved water is produced, but equipment specifications and facility scale are increased

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveconcentration of dissolved ozoneVSAvoidequipment specifications and facility scale

Core Design Contradiction:

Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The water decomposition function and pressurization function are merged into a single integrated device. The pressurization chamber simultaneously performs water decomposition through high-pressure cycling and pressurization, eliminating the need for separate water decomposing equipment and reducing facility scale

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The pressurization chamber is designed to perform multiple functions: water decomposition through high-pressure cycling, gas dissolution, and pressurization delivery, making it a multi-functional device that replaces multiple separate equipment components

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Quantity of substance

If manufacturing ozone-dissolved water having a high concentration of 3.0 ppm or higher is performed using conventional methods, then the required concentration is achieved, but energy consumption and facility size are increased

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Quantity of substanceVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The hydrophobic coating serves as an intermediary that prevents ozone escape during the pressurization process, improving dissolution efficiency and allowing high concentration (3.0 ppm or higher) to be achieved with lower energy input and smaller facility size

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

By changing the surface properties of the pressurization chamber through hydrophobic coating, the system achieves more efficient ozone dissolution, reducing the energy and facility size required to reach target concentrations of 3.0 ppm or higher
