Abstract
A fluid gasification, pumping and mixing equipment, for fluids contained in open or closed bodies, which allows to control the bubble size and the proportion of mixed gases, of a gas flow to be diffused into the fluid, which functions to generate a gas suction flow that allows active filling of cavitation zones created by the radial movement of a cavitation propeller, which can be used to suction at different depths without losing suction force or generate higher energy consumption.
Claims9
A fluid gasification, pumping and mixing equipment for fluids, characterized in that it comprises:
- a rotary actuator (1) with an output shaft and a speed selector mechanism to control the number of revolutions per minute (RPM) at which said rotary actuator (1) operates;
- an outer conduit (2), which has a reception enclosure (2.1), arranged at an upper end, adapted to receive the rotary actuator (1) in a sealed manner, and one or more gas inlets (2.2) located below the reception enclosure (2.1), with a control valve (2.3) to control a gas flow or control a gas mixture proportion entering inside the outer conduit (2);
- a hollow rotary shaft (3) located inside the outer conduit (2) and connected to the output shaft of the rotary actuator (1), which has at least one inlet orifice (3.1) located near an upper end of the hollow rotary shaft for the entry of the gas flow from the outer conduit (2), and at least one outlet orifice (3.2) located near a lower end of the hollow rotary shaft to allow the gas flow to exit;
- at least one fed cavitation device (4), with first and second discs (4.1 and 4.2) with flat or substantially conical faces, the discs located adjacent each other and connected to each other by adjacent internal faces;
- each of which has a central orifice (4.3) through which the hollow rotary shaft (3) passes through a coupling to transmit the movement of said hollow rotary shaft (3) towards said first and second discs (4.1 and 4.2);
- a plurality of internal spiral blades (4.4) that form an internal impeller or turbine, which start from the central orifice (4.3) and end on the external perimeter of the first and second discs (4.1 and 4.2), in such a way that it forms a plurality of channels that drive the gas flow from the at least one outlet orifice (3.2) of the hollow rotary shaft (3);
- a plurality of external spiral blades (4.5) located on external faces of the first and second discs (4.1 and 4.2), in the same relative positions with respect to the plurality of internal spiral blades (4.4) arranged to drive the fluid to internal faces of an aeration chamber (5) containing the first and second discs, creating a fluid flow with a path parallel to a horizontal plane of the at least one fed cavitation device (4);
- a plurality of mini hydro-ailerons (4.6) located at the terminal ends of each of the external spiral blades (4.5), to generate controlled cavitation zones (a) along a path perpendicular to the fluid flow, in which micro or nano vacuum bubbles are formed and;
- a plurality of outlet orifices (4.7) arranged in the plurality of mini hydro-ailerons (4.6), which connect the gas flow channels formed by the plurality of internal spiral blades (4.4) with the controlled cavitation zones (a) generated on the outer perimeter of the first and second discs (4.1 and 4.2), in such a way that said plurality of outlet orifices (4.7) allow the gas flow to exit towards the controlled cavitation zones (a) feeding the formed micro or nano vacuum bubbles, in such a way that micro or nano gas bubbles are created and;
- the aeration chamber (5) in which the at least one fed cavitation device (4) is housed, having a first and a second casing (5.1 and 5.2) that can have a shape selected from a flat shape in their base or a substantially conical shape depending on the geometry of the at least one fed cavitation device (4), and are connected to each other by their larger diameter openings, by means of four ribs (5.3), in such a way that four expulsion cavities are formed between said first and second casings (5.1 and 5.2) through which the fluid flow is expelled together with the created micro or nano gas bubbles;
- first and second suction inlets (5.4 and 5.5) of cylindrical shape, arranged on the first and second casings (5.1 and 5.2) respectively, with inlet orifices for the connection of suction intakes (5.6 and 5.7) through which the fluid is sucked;
- a pair of support bearings (5.8 and 5.9) held in the casing internal part (5.1 and 5.2) by means of a plurality of ribs with perforations (5.10) that allow free flow of fluids, designed to support the rotating shaft hollow (3) and;
- first and second orifices (5.11 and 5.12) located on upper and lower faces of the first and second casings (5.1 and 5.2) respectively, the first orifice (5.11) being connected to the outer conduit (2), sealing the lower end of said outer conduit (2) to allow the fluid suction from the first suction inlet (5.4), while the second orifice (5.12) is sealed with a cap to allow the fluid suction from the second suction inlet (5.5).
