Abstract
A nozzle for injecting a first liquid mass into a stream of second liquid mass flowing within a pipe, comprising a first, outer, cylinder and second, inner, cylinder concentrically arranged about a nozzle axis, securing means for securing the nozzle to a wall of the pipe with the nozzle axis orthogonal to the pipe wall, the nozzle projecting into an interior of the pipe in use, duct means for receiving the first liquid mass and transporting it to the interior of the inner and outer cylinders, the inner cylinder comprising at least one hole arranged to expel liquid therethrough, and the outer cylinder comprising at least one hole arranged to expel liquid therethrough.
Claims10
A nozzle for injecting a first liquid mass into a stream of a second liquid mass, the second liquid mass flowing within an interior of a pipe, the second liquid mass composed of a multi-component liquid composition and the first liquid mass being a portion of the multi-component liquid composition, comprising:
- a first, outer, cylinder and second, inner, cylinder concentrically arranged about a nozzle axis;
- a flange securing the nozzle to a wall of the pipe with the nozzle axis orthogonal to the pipe wall, the nozzle projecting into an interior of the pipe in use;
- a duct configured to receive the first liquid mass and transport the first liquid mass to the interior of the inner and outer cylinders;
- the inner cylinder comprising at least one hole, the at least one hole in the inner cylinder communicating with the interior of the pipe, the at least one hole in the inner cylinder configured to expel the first liquid mass therethrough into the second liquid mass at a first fluid flow stream velocity;
- and
- the outer cylinder comprising at least one hole, the at least one hole in the outer cylinder communicating with the interior of the pipe, the at least one hole in the outer cylinder configured to expel the first liquid mass therethrough into the second liquid mass at a second fluid flow stream velocity, the first fluid flow stream velocity being greater than the second fluid flow stream velocity.
A mixing system comprising:
- a nozzle adapted to inject a first liquid mass into a stream of second liquid mass flowing within an interior of a pipe, the second liquid mass composed of a multi-component liquid composition and the first liquid mass being a portion of the multi-component liquid composition, the nozzle comprising:
- a first, outer, cylinder and second, inner, cylinder concentrically arranged about a nozzle axis;
- a flange securing the nozzle to a wall of the pipe with the nozzle axis orthogonal to the pipe wall, the nozzle projecting into an interior of the pipe in use;
- a duct configured to receive the first liquid mass and transport the first liquid mass to the interior of the inner and outer cylinders;
- the inner cylinder comprising at least one hole, the at least one hole in the inner cylinder communicating with the interior of the pipe, the at least one hole in the inner cylinder configured to expel the first liquid mass therethrough into the second liquid mass at a first fluid flow stream velocity;
- and
- the outer cylinder comprising at least one hole, the at least one hole in the outer cylinder communicating with the interior of the pipe, the at least one hole in the outer cylinder configured to expel the first liquid mass therethrough into the second liquid mass at a second fluid flow stream velocity, the first fluid flow stream velocity being greater than the second fluid flow stream velocity.
