Abstract
The present invention describes a turbulent flow promoting surface, intended to improve the aeration of fluids, namely of water. The equipment of the present invention comprises a surface, which may or may not be the surface of any apparatus used in the aeration of fluids, which comprises promoters that promote turbulent flow of fluid. The promoters comprise a protuberance integrating a cavity and an edge responsible for dividing the stream of the fluid in two streams, one of which goes into the cavity through a central opening. In the cavity, fluid is dispersed and pulverized repeatedly, significantly increasing the amount of bubbles formed.
Claims21
Turbulent flow promoting surface comprising a surface and promoters comprising:
- a protuberance placed on the surface;
- a cavity placed in the contact zone between the protuberance and the surface, the cavity comprises two lateral openings, each positioned on the opposite lateral ends of the cavity, the promoters additionally comprising at least one lateral blockage element wherein:
- the cavity comprises one blockage element placed in one of the lateral openings of the cavity which blocks the lateral opening of the promoter that possess the blockage element;
- or
- the promoter comprises two blockage elements placed in each of the lateral openings of the cavity which blocks the two lateral openings of the promoter.
