Fluid inductor system and apparatus having deformable member for controlling fluid flow

A fluid inductor system comprising:

• a housing comprising:
• primary fluid inlet means;
• primary fluid outlet means;
• secondary fluid inlet means;
• hollow inductor means disposed in said housing between said primary fluid inlet means, primary fluid outlet means and secondary fluid inlet means, said hollow inductor means having a plurality of holes formed therein proximate to said primary fluid outlet means;
• sensor means exposed to said primary fluid outlet means for sensing fluid at said primary fluid outlet means and generating a signal representing said outlet fluid;
• and
• control means in communication with said sensor means and said hollow inductor means, said control means adapted to receive said sensor signal and generate a control signal to control the shape of said hollow inductor means to induce secondary fluid to flow into said primary fluid at said hollow inductor means.

A method of controlling introduction of one liquid into another liquid, the method comprising the steps of:

• moving a first fluid stream through a flow path;
• interposing a hollow distribution member in said flow path to provide a venturi effect creating a low pressure area on a downstream side of the distribution member;
• adjusting the shape of the distribution member in the flow path to effect the low pressure region in the flow path downstream of the distribution member;
• introducing a second fluid into the distribution member;
• inducing said second fluid through at least one passage in the distribution member to the downstream side of the distribution member by the low pressure created from the venturi effect;
• sensing a downstream fluid exiting the distribution member;
• generating a signal representing said downstream fluid;
• and
• monitoring said signal for determining adjustment of said distribution member.
