Abstract
An interfacial surface generating means having an inlet end, an outlet end and a plurality of separate passageways connecting the two ends. The ends of the passageways at the inlet end lie along a first line and the ends of the passageways at the outlet end lie along a second line. The second line extends substantially normal to the first line. Each of the ends being dish-shaped and having connecting means to fasten a plurality of surface generators together in a liquid-tight manner. The adjacent dish-shaped ends forming a mixing chamber between adjacent surface generators.
Claims4
An interfacial surface generator comprising a body having
- (a) an inlet end,
- (b) an outlet end, and
- (c) a plurality of separate passageways through the body;
- both said inlet and outlet ends being concave inwardly;
- one of said ends having a peripheral edge and the other of said ends defined by a boss extending outwardly;
- said boss having a configuration that snuggly fits within and is in liquid-tight engagement with said peripheral edge when two interfacial surface generator bodies are put together inlet-to-outlet so that said concave ends face each other and form a liquid-tight chamber between the adjacent inlet and outlet ends;
- said passageways opening
- (1) on the inlet end essentially along a first line lying approximately through the center of the inlet end and
- (2) on the outlet end essentially along a second line lying approximately through the center of the outlet end, and the second line being essentially normal to the first line.
An interfacial surface generator for mixing a liquid stream comprising a plurality of generating means securely held together in liquid-tight relationship to each other;
- each generating means comprising a solid body having
- (i) and inlet end,
- (ii) an outlet end, and
- (iii) a plurality of passageways through the body connecting the two ends, each passageway diverting a portion of the liquid stream at the inlet end and delivering the diverted stream at the outlet end at a radially different point than the inlet point;
- the inlet and outlet ends in abutting generating means forming an enclosed, liquid-tight chamber into which the diverted streams are introduced and mixed;
- said inlet and outlet ends being dished axially inward, and said dished ends being positioned facing each other when the generating means are fastened together to form a mixing chamber with the generating means.
