Abstract
Mixing apparatus having an elongated cylindrical mixing chamber with an inlet end and an outlet end and an elongated closed jacket surrounding and spaced from the mixing chamber. The jacket is divided into a number of annular chambers each of which is in communication with the mixing chamber through a ring of inlet passages extending through the wall of the mixing chamber. Each inlet passage in each ring of inlet passages is at an angle toward the outlet end of the mixing chamber and is angularly skewed relative to the axis of the mixing chamber. A throat nozzle is located at the inlet end of the mixing chamber to supply material to the mixing chamber.
Claims13
Mixing apparatus including an elongated cylindrical mixing chamber having a wall with an inlet end and an outlet end, an elongated outer jacket surrounding said mixing chamber wall, the interior of said jacket being cylindrical and spaced from the exterior of said mixing chamber wall, the interior of said jacket being coaxial with said mixing chamber and having a first annular end member contacting the exterior of said mixing chamber wall and a second annular end member contacting the exterior of said mixing chamber wall, at least one intermediate annular wall on the interior of said jacket contacting the exterior of said mixing chamber wall to divide the space between the exterior of said mixing chamber wall and the interior of said jacket into a plurality of annular chambers, a plurality of rings of inlet passages extending through said mixing chamber wall to connect said annular chambers and the interior of said mixing chamber, each inlet passage in each of said rings of inlet passages extending at an angle toward said outlet end of said mixing chamber wall and being angularly skewed relative to the longitudinal axis of said mixing chamber, whereby fluids passing through said inlet passages have a component of motion toward said outlet end of said mixing chamber wall and a rotary component of motion relative to the radius of said mixing chamber.
