Emulsion manufacturing equipment

Abstract

[Object]To provide emulsion manufacturing equipment that can continuously produce and consume an emulsion, reduce a tank volume, and reduce production cost without need for an agitator. [Solution] The emulsion manufacturing equipment includes a primary tank 10 having formed therein a main space 12, and a secondary tank 16 having formed therein a space for emulsification promotion 18, communicating the main space 12. The main space 12 is communicated to a first negative pressure mixer 22 via a circulation passageway 28. The space for emulsification promotion 18 includes therein the first negative pressure mixer 22, and an emulsion is introduced into the first negative pressure mixer 22 through the circulation passageway 28. The negative pressure generated in the first negative pressure mixer 22 draws water, a fuel and an emulsifier into the first negative pressure mixer 22, thereby converting the water, fuel and emulsifier into an emulsion. The emulsion of the first negative pressure mixer 22 is injected to the space for emulsification promotion 18 of the secondary tank 16 to promote the emulsification of the emulsion, and then the emulsion is introduced into the main space 12.
