An apparatus for mixing a first fluid into a flow path of a second fluid, the apparatus comprising: a chamber enclosing the flow path, the chamber including a second fluid first inlet for receiving its respective fluid. The apparatus also includes a second inlet arranged downstream of the first inlet and receiving the first fluid, as well as an outlet arranged downstream of the second inlet for discharging a mixture of the first fluid and the second fluid. The second inlet flows into the flow path and is formed by a shared fluid injector mounted transverse to the axial direction that one fluid and the two fluid flows through its chamber. The flow path includes two respective throttle bodies, each of which is pivotally arranged inside the chamber and attached to opposed sides of the chamber for controlling the flow area of the flow path.

The present invention relates to a self-cleaning rotary viewing hole and a centrifugal machine provided with said rotary viewing hole. The proposed rotary viewing hole includes a stationary frame (10); a transparent stationary panel (11) attached to said stationary frame by means of a leak-tight joint (41); a rotary frame (20) connected to said stationary frame (10) by means of a rotary joint (40); a transparent rotary panel (21) attached to said rotary frame (20) by means of a joint, said transparent rotary panel (21) being arranged opposite and spaced apart from the transparent stationary panel (11) by means of an intermediate chamber (1); and a motor (30) connected to said transparent rotary panel (21) or to said rotary frame (20), wherein the joint between the transparent rotary panel (21) and the rotary frame (20) is an interference joint (43) attached by means of a dimensional interference fit.

A valve comprising a valve spindle housing located in the side of the chamber and including a first fluid inlet and a first fluid outlet, and a cylinder open along a portion of a longitudinal axis of the cylinder and rotatably mounted in the valve spindle housing. The cylinder is positioned in one position so that the cylinder completely obstructs the valve spindle housing outlet, not allowing any fluid to pass around the cylinder. The cylinder walls are solid except for having openings through a portion of the cylinder, so that when rotated to a closed position, the solid portion of the cylinder fully obstructs the valve spindle housing outlet, and when rotated to an open position, the first fluid can pass into the inside of the cylinder and then through the openings and out of the valve spindle housing.

A system includes a source, a detector, and a controller. The source is configured to emit electromagnetic energy toward two plies of film. A portion of the emitted electromagnetic energy is within a range of wavelengths. The detector is arranged to detect electromagnetic energy propagating away from the two plies of film. The detector detects electromagnetic energy within the range of wavelengths and generates signals indicative of intensity of detected electromagnetic energy. The controller controls operation of the foam-in-bag system based the signals from the detector. The film is transmissive of electromagnetic energy in the range of wavelengths. When dispensed between the two plies of film, one or both of foaming chemical precursors or foam formed from a reaction thereof is opaque to electromagnetic energy in the range of wavelengths.

A method for producing a suspension, wherein plant parts are comminuted in portions and mixed with water so that the water and the plant parts form the suspension, and a pomace remaining from the plant parts is separated from the suspension. A device for producing a suspension, the device including a mixing chamber and a mixing element in the mixing chamber for mixing a portion of comminuted plant parts with water so that the water and the plant parts form the suspension, and an outlet on the mixing chamber for letting the suspension out of the mixing chamber so that a pomace remaining from the plant parts is retained in the mixing chamber. In order to accelerate production, the plant parts are mashed to a pulp while the water is pressed at a positive pressure through the pulp and through a filter which retains the pomace.

Thorough mixing of nitrogen with a beverage to provide a visually interesting and tasty drink is achieved by passing the nitrogen and beverage together through a mixing manifold that is inexpensive to manufacture and easily cleaned and sanitized.

A system for bone cement includes a vial holder configured for receiving a vial and including a holding structure for maintaining the vial in the vial holder. The vial includes a monomer component for bone cement. A holder chamber is configured to receive and secure the vial holder. The vial holder is advanced toward a vial-breaking device for breaking the vial and releasing its contents into the holder chamber past the elastomeric seal. Once the vial holder is advanced further the elastomeric seal is deformed to form a seal and prevent fumes produced from escaping from the device.

A device (1) and method for media filtration with a preparation container (2). A chamber (5) containing a dissolvable medium (29) is situated between the container inflow and outflow, and has a filter (22). A mixing arm (6, 7), connected to the inflow, protrudes into the medium in the chamber with at least one mixing nozzle (19, 20), disposed at the free end (17, 18) of the mixing arm for generating a directed jet of solvent. The preparation container has bottom (10) and top (8) parts bracketing the chamber. The filter is a sterile, has on the filtrate side facing the outflow, a circumferential outer edge (23) resting on a circumferential rest edge (37) of the bottom part of the preparation container and is connected fixedly thereto. A sterilised filtrate space (39) is formed between the filtrate side (38) of the filter and the outflow situated in the bottom part.

A process for operating an oxidizable combustion gas cleaning unit in a metallurgical plant, including the steps of: (a) passing an oxidizable combustion gas from a metallurgical reactor, in particular a blast furnace gas from a blast furnace, in a packed bed scrubber arrangement through a packed bed in countercurrent with a washing water or in a spray scrubber arrangement to remove cyanide compounds, in particular hydrogen cyanide, and to increase the removal of chloride compounds, in particular hydrogen chloride, from the combustion gas by solubilizing the cyanide and chloride compounds in the washing water, (b) collecting the washing water containing solubilized cyanide and chloride compounds at a bottom end of the packed bed or spray scrubber arrangement, and (c) collecting a cleaned oxidizable combustion gas at a top of the packed bed or spray scrubber arrangement, wherein a base is added to the washing water before step (a).

A locking member that locks a mixing nozzle to a cartridge that includes two syringes, the mixing nozzle being configured to mix the materials from the two syringes within the nozzle as the materials are discharged. The locking member includes a support rod supported on the mixing nozzle that is displaceable in a direction orthogonal to the direction in which the nozzle extends, and first and second engaging parts that engage with horizontal parts provided on the cartridge. The locking member further includes an inclined part that is inclined toward the opposite side to the nozzle, and that is provided between at least one of the first engaging part and the second engaging part, or between the second engaging part and the other end of the support rod.
