Abstract
A jet impingement reactor having a small, spheroidal reaction chamber is provided. The reaction chamber exhibits a first and a second fluid inlet arranged at opposite positions of the reaction chamber such as to point at one another, and wherein each of the first and the second fluid inlet comprises a nozzle. The distance between the nozzles is the same or smaller than the diameter of the reaction chamber along the first central axis. Preferably, the nozzles are comprised in fluid inlet connectors that are reversibly insertable into the wall of the reaction chamber such as to provide the first and the second fluid inlet. The invention further provides a method of mixing two fluids based on jet impingement using the reactor according to the invention.
Claims19
A jet impingement reactor comprising a reaction chamber defined by an interior surface of a reaction chamber wall, the reaction chamber having a substantially spheroidal overall shape, said chamber comprising:
- (a) a first and a second fluid inlet, wherein the first and the second fluid inlet are arranged at opposite positions on a first central axis of the reaction chamber such as to point at one another, and wherein each of the first and the second fluid inlet comprises a nozzle;
- and
- (b) a fluid outlet arranged at a third position, said third position being located on a second central axis of said chamber, the second central axis being perpendicular to the first central axis;
- wherein the distance between the nozzle of the first fluid inlet and the nozzle of the second fluid inlet is the same or smaller than the diameter of the reaction chamber along the first central axis.
