Abstract
A static mixer includes two or more mixing segments, each mixing segment including an inlet section, an outlet section oppositely disposed to the inlet section, a longitudinal axis defined between the inlet section and the outlet section, a plurality of mixing passages and a common distributor connected to each of the plurality of mixing passages of the mixing segment. The common distributor is arranged at the inlet section. Furthermore, inlets of the passages of the mixing segments form an inlet arrangement at the distributor of the corresponding mixing segment and outlets of the passages of the individual mixing segments form an outlet arrangement at the outlet section of the corresponding mixing segment. Thereby, the outlet arrangement is different from the inlet arrangement.
Claims19
A static mixer comprising:
- two or more mixing segments,
- each mixing segment of the two or more mixing segments including an inlet section, an outlet section oppositely disposed to the inlet section, a longitudinal axis defined between the inlet section and the outlet section, a plurality of mixing passages, and
- a common distributor connected to each of the plurality of mixing passages for each mixing segment,
- the common distributor arranged at the inlet section,
- the inlet section for each of the plurality of mixing passages forms an inlet arrangement at the common distributor of a corresponding mixing segment, and
- the outlet section for each of the plurality of mixing passages forms an outlet arrangement at the outlet section of a corresponding mixing segment,
- the outlet arrangement being different from the inlet arrangement,
- each of the common distributors having an inlet and an outlet located opposite from the inlet along the longitudinal axis,
- an inlet cross-section at the inlet that having an elongated inlet shape with an orientation parallel to a first transverse axis and an outlet cross-section at the outlet that has an elongated outlet shape with an orientation parallel to a second transverse axis, and
- the first transverse axis being different from the second transverse axis.
A static mixer comprising:
- two or more mixing segments,
- each mixing segment of the two or more mixing segments including an inlet section, an outlet section oppositely disposed to the inlet section, a longitudinal axis defined between the inlet section and the outlet section, a plurality of mixing passages, and
- a common distributor connected to each of the plurality of mixing passages for each mixing segment,
- the common distributor arranged at the inlet section,
- the inlet section for each of the plurality of mixing passages forms an inlet arrangement at the common distributor of a corresponding mixing segment, and
- the outlet section for each of the plurality of mixing passages forms an outlet arrangement at the outlet section of a corresponding mixing segment,
- the outlet arrangement being different from the inlet arrangement,
- a cross-section of each of the common distributors perpendicular to the longitudinal axis transforming from the inlet shape via an intermediate shape at an intermediate longitudinal position in between the inlet and the outlet to the outlet shape,
- the intermediate shape being different from the inlet shape or outlet shape.
