VARIABLY GRADED BOTTOM VORTEX-TYPE FLUID SHEAR EMULSIFIER

摘要

This invention provides a fluid shear device for emulsifying or mixing liquids, and also useful for deaeration. A central chamber with a tangential inlet has a forward wall perpendicular to the chamber axis and a rearward wall with a reverse curve in profile such that the rearward wall is more parallel to the forward wall in its outer portion than its inner portion. This produces a number of advantages in terms of pressure energy released, which energy is then available for the shearing and mixing function.
