Abstract
A production apparatus for a liquid containing gas bubbles includes a casing, a pump unit, and a gas bubble-mixing unit. The casing is provided with a main flow channel for a liquid, the main flow channel having a liquid inflow port and a liquid outflow port. The pump unit is disposed in the main flow channel and pumps the liquid to the liquid outflow port from the liquid inflow port. The gas bubble-mixing unit includes a first choke portion that is disposed in the main flow channel and has an inner diameter decreased and a gas supply channel that supplies the first choke portion with a gas.
Claims4
A production apparatus for a liquid containing gas bubbles, comprising:
- a casing provided with a main flow channel for a liquid, the main flow channel having a liquid inflow port and a liquid outflow port;
- a pump unit that includes a rotor disposed in the main flow channel and rotatably supported by the casing, and that pumps the liquid to the liquid outflow port from the liquid inflow port;
- a gas bubble-mixing unit including:
- a first choke portion that is disposed in the main flow channel and has an inner diameter decreased;
- and
- a gas supply channel that supplies the first choke portion with a gas;
- and
- a flow velocity control unit that includes a second choke portion in which an inner diameter of the main flow channel is decreased, is disposed between the pump unit and the liquid outflow port, and controls flow velocity of the liquid containing the gas,
- wherein the pump unit and the gas bubble-mixing unit are disposed inside the casing,
- wherein the pump unit is disposed between the gas bubble-mixing unit and the liquid outflow port, and
- wherein the gas bubble-mixing unit is disposed between the liquid inflow port and the pump unit.
