Abstract
A nozzle for injecting a first liquid mass into a stream of second liquid mass flowing within a pipe, comprising a first, outer, cylinder and second, inner, cylinder concentrically arranged about a nozzle axis, securing means for securing the nozzle to a wall of the pipe with the nozzle axis orthogonal to the pipe wall, the nozzle projecting into an interior of the pipe in use, duct means for receiving the first liquid mass and transporting it to the interior of the inner and outer cylinders, the inner cylinder comprising at least one hole arranged to expel liquid therethrough, and the outer cylinder comprising at least one hole arranged to expel liquid therethrough.
Claims15
A nozzle for injecting a first liquid mass into a stream of second liquid mass flowing within a pipe, comprising:
- a first, outer, cylinder and second, inner, cylinder concentrically arranged about a nozzle axis;
- securing means for securing the nozzle to a wall of the pipe with the nozzle axis orthogonal to the pipe wall, the nozzle projecting into an interior of the pipe in use;
- duct means for receiving the first liquid mass and transporting it to the interior of the inner and outer cylinders;
- the inner cylinder comprising at least one hole arranged to expel liquid therethrough;
- and
- the outer cylinder comprising at least one hole arranged to expel liquid therethrough.
A mixing system comprising:
- a nozzle adapted to inject a first liquid mass into a stream of second liquid mass flowing within a pipe, the nozzle comprising:
- a first, outer, cylinder and second, inner, cylinder concentrically arranged about a nozzle axis;
- securing means for securing the nozzle to a wall of the pipe with the nozzle axis orthogonal to the pipe wall, the nozzle projecting into an interior of the pipe in use;
- duct means for receiving the first liquid mass and transporting it to the interior of the inner and outer cylinders;
- the inner cylinder comprising at least one hole arranged to expel liquid therethrough;
- and
- the outer cylinder comprising at least one hole arranged to expel liquid therethrough.
A method of mixing a liquid flowing in a pipe comprising:
- securing a nozzle to a wall of the pipe with the nozzle projecting into an interior of the pipe, said nozzle comprising:
- a first, outer, cylinder and second, inner, cylinder concentrically arranged about a nozzle axis;
- duct means for receiving a liquid mass and transporting it to the interior of the inner and outer cylinders;
- the inner cylinder comprising at least one hole arranged to expel liquid therethrough;
- and
- the outer cylinder comprising at least one hole arranged to expel liquid therethrough;
- connecting the duct means to a liquid withdrawal means downstream of the nozzle;
- withdrawing a portion of the liquid mass using the liquid withdrawal means;
- pumping the withdrawn liquid to the interior of the inner and outer cylinders;
- and
- expelling liquid through the holes in the inner and outer cylinders.
