The present disclosure generally relates to a fluid mixer, a system for mixing fluids utilizing the fluid mixer, and a method of mixing fluids using the fluid mixer or the system for mixing fluids, and more specifically, to a compact static mixing device with no moving parts and capable of mixing any fluid, such as air, nitrogen gas, water, oil, polluted water, and the like. A first pressurized, incoming fluid is accelerated locally by a section reduction, is split into streams, and then is released into a second fluid found in a closed volume or an open volume after a period of stabilization. The directed and controlled first fluid slides along an insert up to directional and angled fins at a vortex creator where suction forces from a self-initiating vortex in an internal cavity draws in at least part of the first fluid to fuel the vortex. The compactness and simplicity of the fluid mixer with internal vortex can be used alone within a closed volume in a conduit, in a sprayer, or within a fixed geometry to direct the mixing vortex to specific dimensions. One or more fluid mixers can also be used in an open volume such as a reservoir, a tank, a pool, or any other fluid body to conduct mixing. The technology alone, as part of a multimixer system, or as a method of mixing using the fluid mixer with internal vortex is contemplated to be used in any field where mixing occurs. |

1. A fluid mixer, comprising:
a holder with a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet defining a holding cavity between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet for the transfer of a first fluid from the fluid inlet to the fluid outlet, the holder further including an internal surface in communication with the first fluid; and an insert with an external surface slid at least partly into the holding cavity and in contact with a second fluid, the insert having a first end and a second end with a vortex creator, and an expansion area between the first end and the second end, wherein the holding cavity includes a means for splitting the first fluid into a plurality of streams before entry of the first fluid into the expansion area, and wherein the vortex creator includes an internal cavity at the second end, the internal cavity in communication with the second fluid and including at least an angled fin for the passage of the first fluid from the external surface to the internal cavity, and wherein the vortex creator includes a plurality of angled fins defining a plurality of passageways at the second end. |
