MULTI-OPENING CHEMICAL INJECTION DEVICE
This application relates to a fluid mixing device including a nozzle having a converging chamber, a chemical injection port, a diverging chamber, a nozzle throat, and an adjustable self-opening valve.
FLUID MIXING UNIT AND FLUID MIXING METHOD
A fluid mixing unit includes a cylindrical porous body partitioning a container into a first flow space and a second flow space surrounding the first flow space. A first supply port supplies a first fluid to one of the first and second flow spaces. A second supply port provided on one end side of the container in an axial direction of the cylindrical body supplies a second fluid to the other flow space. An outlet for a mixed fluid is provided on the other end side of the container to be open only to the other flow space. Closing members are provided in a plurality of stages along the axial direction to alternately close a right and a left of the other flow space as seen in the axial direction in the other flow space. A meandering flow is formed in the other flow space to create the mixed fluid.
TURBULENT FLOW MIXING BAG AND RELATED SYSTEMS AND METHODS
The disclosed bag for mixing materials may include a front wall, a back wall, a mixing chamber between the front wall and the back wall, a first sidewall between the front wall and the back wall and defining a first side of the mixing chamber, a second sidewall between the front wall and the back wall defining a second, opposite side of the mixing chamber, and a port positioned to provide fluid access to the mixing chamber from a bottom of the mixing chamber, wherein the first sidewall and the second sidewall are shaped to alternate a direction of fluid flow when fluid is introduced into the mixing chamber through the port. Various other components, systems, and methods are also disclosed.
MIXING CONDUITS INCLUDING SWIRLER VANES FOR USE WITHIN AN EXHAUST TREATMENT SYSTEM
A mixing conduit for use within an exhaust treatment system of a work vehicle. The mixing conduit is configured to receive engine exhaust and a mixture of engine exhaust and reductant. The mixing conduit includes an outer tube and an inner tube within the outer tube. Each tube extends lengthwise from upstream ends to downstream ends of the inner and outer tubes, respectively. The inner tube includes an exterior surface, and the outer tube includes an interior surface. The inner tube defines an inner flowpath within the inner tube. The outer tube and inner tube also define an outer flowpath radially between the exterior surface of the inner tube and the interior surface of the outer tube. The mixing conduit further includes one or more swirler vanes extending radially between the exterior surface of the inner tube and the interior surface of the outer tube and within the outer flowpath.
Method For Controlling Fluid Accuracy And Backflow Compensation
A method for controlling fluid ratio accuracy during a dual flow injection with a powered injection system is described. The method includes predicting a first capacitance volume of a first syringe comprising a first medical fluid and a second capacitance volume of a second syringe comprising a second medical fluid with a first capacitance correction factor and a second capacitance correction factor, respectively, selecting a ratio of the first medical fluid and the second medical fluid to be administered to a patient in the dual flow injection, determining a relative acceleration ratio of a first piston of the first syringe and a second piston of a second syringe based on the predicted first capacitance volume and the predicted second capacitance volume, wherein the relative acceleration ratio is selected to maintain the selected ratio of the first medical fluid and the second medical fluid during the dual flow injection, and injecting a mixture of a first medical fluid and a second medical fluid having the selected ratio with the powered injection system.
Hydroponic system and method for enriching a liquid with gas-bubbles
In one configuration, a hydroponic system for enriching a liquid with gas-bubbles is disclosed. The system may include at least one reservoir configured to temporarily store the gas-bubble enriched liquid. Each of the at least one reservoir may include an associated inlet port and an associated outlet port fluidically coupled with each other via a liquid-flow line. The system includes one or more pumps configured to cause movement of the liquid along the liquid-flow line, a gas supply feeding a gas (in one configuration, oxygen from a gas concentrator), and a gas-bubble generator provided on the liquid-flow line. The gas-bubble generator may be fluidically coupled to the gas supply to receive gas from the gas supply. The gas-bubble generator may be configured to generate a plurality of individual gas-bubbles of the gas received from the gas supply and mix with the liquid stream flowing via the gas-bubble generator.
BEVERAGE DISPENSING SYSTEM AND METHOD
A beverage dispensing system is disclosed that includes a container assembly configured to store two liquids (e.g., liquor and a mixer) that is couplable to a head assembly. The head assembly includes one or more pumps configured to draw the different liquids from the assembly, to mix variable ratios of the two liquids together, and to dispense the drink. In some configurations, the drink may be dispensed from the beverage dispenser into a glass or directly to the mouth of an individual.
Multi-opening chemical injection device
A fluid mixing device includes a plurality of nozzles, each having a converging chamber, at least one chemical injection port, a diverging chamber, a nozzle throat, and an adjustable self-opening valve. The fluid mixing device provides for improvements in mixing fluids.
On-demand in-line-blending and supply of chemicals
This in-line active and reverse calculating mass balance blending system can maintain a chemical at desired control points, such as with respect to concentration, temperature, and/or pressure, while the output flow rate is changing dynamically to a point of use. A blending unit is configured to receive and blend at least two species and deliver a mixture at selected concentrations to points of use. A controller can be configured to determine a mass balance to maintain the concentrations in the mixture using information from metrology systems and a flow in an output to the at least one point of use. The controller also can be configured to maintain a concentrations in the mixture within a concentration range by controlling flow rates to the blending unit.
Exhaust gas recirculation mixer
A mixer for a gas flow system, such as an exhaust gas recirculation system, is provided. In one example, a gas flow system for an engine includes a first passage through which a first gas is configured to flow along a first axis; a second passage through which a second gas is configured to flow along a second axis, the first passage fluidly coupled to the second passage at an outlet of the first passage; and a mixer integrated with the first passage at the outlet and extending into the second passage, the mixer including an extension extending radially around the first axis and a main body extending into the second passage along the first axis.
