Abstract
An apparatus for mixing fluids includes a housing which is mounted in line with a conduit carrying a primary fluid. A deformable member is mounted in the housing and an inlet conduit carrying a secondary fluid communicates with the deformable member. An adjustment knob adjusts the width of the deformable member, thereby adjusting the venturi effect created by the deformable member in the flow of primary fluid and adjusting the flow of secondary fluid which flows into the deformable member and is induced out of the deformable member through a plurality of holes to mix with the primary fluid.
Claims11
A fluid inductor apparatus comprising:
- a housing comprising:
- primary fluid inlet means;
- primary fluid outlet means;
- secondary fluid inlet means;
- hollow wedge shaped means having opposite ends disposed in said housing between said primary fluid inlet means and said primary fluid outlet means, said hollow wedge shaped means comprising a plurality of pivotable side panels, at least one of said side panels having a plurality of holes formed therein proximate to said primary fluid outlet means;
- and
- adjustment means, comprising:
- a pair of guide pins projecting from opposite ones of said side panels at one end of said hollow wedge shaped means, and
- control means coacting with the pair of guide pins for adjusting the distance between said guide pins for deforming said hollow wedge shaped means to adjust the width thereof, said secondary fluid inlet means communicating with said hollow wedged shaped means for inducing secondary fluid to flow into said hollow wedge shaped means and through said plurality of holes into said housing.
