<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a static mixer capable of conveying a multilayer fluid flow while mixing the same and maintaining the homogeneous dispersion of fluid. <P>SOLUTION: A mixing element (12) for installation into a fluid-conducting means (1) includes an inlet opening (9) for at least two components having a first cross-section which is arranged substantially normal to the main direction (11) of flow in the inlet opening (9) and an outlet opening (10) for a mixture having a second cross-section which is arranged substantially normal to the main direction (11) of flow in the outlet opening (10), wherein the mixing element (12) has a cross-sectional design which increases substantially continuously from the first cross-section to the second cross-section. Flow-dividing layers (2, 3, 4) are arranged in the mixing element such that a precise fitting of the mixing element (12) into the substantially continuously expanding fluid-conducting means (1) is made possible. A static mixer having a mixing element (12) of this type is in particular used in natural gas processing, in automotive construction and in chemical reaction technology. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
