A DEVICE FOR MODIFYING FLUID FLOW THROUGH A CONDUIT

摘要

A device (10) for increasing turbulence in a fluid flowing through a conduit (12) comprises two or more elements (14) each of which is provided with a respective orifice (16) through which fluid flowing through the conduit (12) passes. The elements (14) are spaced by regions (18) defined by an orifice (22) formed in a respective spacer (20). The orifice (16) of the elements (14) is of a shape and/or configuration that increases turbulence in fluid flowing through the conduit. The device has particular application in mineral processing plants and in particular dense medium separator plants.
