Abstract
An apparatus for dissolving gas into a liquid is provided having a housing with an inlet opening for the liquid and an outlet opening for the liquid, and a blade unit arranged inside the housing in a small cross section area between the inlet opening and the outlet opening. A flow cross section for the liquid at the small cross section area is smaller than at the inlet opening. The apparatus further includes a gas inlet provided at an outside of the housing and at least one gas outlet provided in the housing on a surface of the blade unit. The at least one gas outlet is connected to the gas inlet by a channel. Methods for producing and using such an apparatus are also provided.
Claims19
An apparatus for dissolving gas into a liquid, comprising:
- a housing with an inlet opening for the liquid and an outlet opening for the liquid, said housing having an area with a smaller flow cross section for the liquid than the inlet opening flow cross section, and the area of smaller flow cross section is positioned between the inlet opening and the outlet opening,
- a blade unit arranged inside the area with smaller flow cross section, and
- a gas inlet provided at an outside of the housing and a plurality of gas outlets provided in the housing on a surface of the blade unit, the plurality of gas outlets being connected to the gas inlet by one or more channels,
- wherein the blade unit includes a jet nozzle and at least one connection element that connects the jet nozzle to an inner wall of the housing, and the at least one connection element has a cross section in the form of a blade, and
- wherein at least one of the plurality of gas outlets is provided at a surface of the jet nozzle and at least one other of the plurality of gas outlets is provided on a surface of the at least one connection element.
A method for producing an apparatus for dissolving gas into a liquid, the method comprising:
- providing a housing with an inlet opening for the liquid and an outlet opening for the liquid, said housing having an area with a smaller flow cross section than the inlet opening flow cross section, and the area of smaller flow cross section is positioned between the inlet opening and the outlet opening,
- arranging a blade unit inside the housing in the area of smaller flow cross section, and
- providing a gas inlet at an outside of the housing and a plurality of gas outlets in the housing on a surface of the blade unit, connecting the plurality of gas outlets to the gas inlet by one or more channels,
- wherein the blade unit includes a jet nozzle and at least one connection element that connects the jet nozzle to an inner wall of the housing, and the at least one connection element has a cross section in the form of a blade, and
- wherein at least one of the plurality of gas outlets is provided at a surface of the jet nozzle and at least one other of the plurality of gas outlets is provided on a surface of the at least one connection element.
