COMPACT MIXING DEVICE FOR HOMOGENISATION OF FLUID FLOW

摘要

The invention relates to a mixing device for the homogenization of temperatures and/or concentrations in a fluid flow, having a hollow element, for conducting the fluid flow, which hollow element has: (a) a first insert positioned within the hollow element and defining an excentric passage; (b) a second insert positioned within the hollow element upstream of the first insert, wherein the second insert has a central opening; (c) a third insert positioned in the hollow element downstream of the first insert and the second insert, which third insert has at least two openings, which are evenly distributed along a concentric circle within said third insert; and (d) a fourth insert positioned in the hollow element between the first insert and the third insert, wherein the fourth insert has at least two radially extending first deflectors. The invention further relates to a module to be used in such mixing device, to an apparatus for forming syngas having such mixing device connected to a quench, and to a power generator having a fuel cell and such apparatus.
