LOW SHEAR GAS MIXER

摘要

A gas mixer for mixing an oxygen-containing gas stream with a carbon-containing gas stream is provided. An impact labyrinth is provided with the gas mixer, in which the labyrinth has an inlet for receiving the oxygen-containing gas stream, structures forming a tortuous path through which the oxygen gas stream must pass, and an outlet. Pipes are provided for receiving the oxygen gas from the labyrinth and carrying the oxygen-containing gas to a mixing point where the oxygen-containing and hydrocarbon-containing gas streams mix in the gas mixer. The structures forming the tortuous path in the labyrinth foster ignition of particles entrained in the oxygen gas stream.
