APPARATUS FOR IMPREGNATING A LIQUID WITH A GAS ESPECIALLY IRRIGATION WATER WITH CARBON DIOXIDE

摘要

An apparatus for impregnating water with carbon dioxide provides a stepped-flow channel with radial shoulders lying in planes perpendicular to the axis of the flow channel creating a zone of increased flow velocity downstream of each shoulder. Radial bores open into each stepped section adjacent the respective shoulder and communicate with a chamber surrounding the flow channel to supply the carbon dioxide to the liquid which is permitted to fill the flow channel and flow freely into an inlet section.
