Liquid agitator and gas injector for use in shallow tanks has deflector beneath rotor to convert flow from axial to radial and avoid damaging tank base

摘要

The liquid agitator, for use in a reactor in a shallow tank and comprising a driven rotor (4) that creates an axial flow, a gas injector (3, 7) and a deflector (5) above the rotor to prevent the gas/liquid dispersion rising, has an additional deflector (6) beneath the rotor to convert the direction of the flow from axial to radial. The additional deflector is in the shape of a plate on the output shaft (2) of the drive (1), and it can be fitted with a central deflecting cone or prism.
