METHOD FOR MIXING A LIQUID/LIQUID AND/OR GASEOUS MEDIA INTO A SOLUTION

摘要

THE INVENTION RELATES TO A MECHANICAL DEVICE WITH NO MOVING PARTS THAT HOMOGENEOUSLY MIXES TWO OR MORE LIQUIDS OR LIQUIDS AND GASES. IT IS POSSIBLE WITH THE DEVICE TO TOTALLY SATURATE LIQUIDS WITH GAS DROPLETS OF LESS THAN ONE MICRON. THE DEVICE COMPRISES AN INLET (1) FOR PARTIALLY MIXED COMPONENTS LEADING TO A PLURALITY OF PASSAGEWAYS (4) CONVERGING AXIALLY INTO A CHAMBER WHICH HAS RADIAL OPENINGS INTO ANOTHER CHAMBER (8) DEFINED BY A CONICAL MEMBER CONVERGING IN THE AXIAL DIRECTION AND HAVING AN OPENING (10) AT ITS APEX TO EXIT THE MIXED COMPONENTS, THE COMPONENTS EXITING THE RADIAL OPENINGS COLLIDE WITH THE WALLS OF THE CONICAL MEMBER (8) PRODUCING SHEAR AND TURBULENCE AND SUBSEQUENTLY SPINNING WITHIN THE CONICAL MEMBER AND ARE THEN SUBJECTED TO INCREASED PRESSURE IN THE AXIAL DIRECTION BY THE CONVERGING WALLS OF THE CONICAL MEMBER.
