Abrégé

Method and system for system for controlling dispensing of laundry chemistry from a laundry chemistry dispenser to a washing machine to minimize use of the laundry chemistry. The method and the system comprise an ozone monitor for determining a current ozone concentration level in the washing machine at a time that the washing machine requires dispensing of the laundry chemistry from the laundry chemistry dispenser; a control panel being coupled to the ozone monitor for receiving a signal indicative of the currently determined ozone concentration level in the washing machine; and the control panel is coupled to the laundry chemistry dispenser for controlling a dispensing operation of the laundry chemistry from the laundry chemistry dispenser based upon the currently determined ozone concentration level in the washing machine. When the ozone concentration level is low, less laundry chemistry is dispensed while when the level is high, more laundry chemistry is dispensed.

Abrégé

Method and system for controlling a concentration of ozone is a washing machine to be at or below a target value so that a cumulative contact time of the ozone with laundry approaches a duration of time of an entire wash stage or cycle thereby ensuring killing of any infectious diseases. The method comprises supplying ozone to the washing machine, upon filling the washing machine, and supplementing the supplied ozonated water by supplying additional ozone to the wash machine during each wash stage or cycle, and controlling the supply of ozone supplied to the wash machine so that the concentration of ozone sampled or exhausting from the washing machine is controlled to be within a control band between 60% and 100% of the target value and the cumulative contact time of the ozone with the laundry is at least 60% of the duration of the entire wash stage or cycle.

Abrégé

A system for controlling a supply of ozone to a washing machine during operation thereof. The system comprising a washing machine having an internal drum for containing laundry and a quantity of a water. An ozone generator is connected to the washing machine and the ozone generator produces and supplies the produced ozone to the washing machine for ozonating the water. At least one sensor is provided for sensing a quantity of ozone exhausting from the washing machine during operation thereof, and the at least sensor being coupled to the ozone generator for interrupting production of ozone when a quantity of ozone exhausting from the washing machine exceeds a safe level.
