It is an object of the present invention to provide a fluid stirring and liquefaction promoting apparatus which enables uniform mixture of refrigerator oil with refrigerant, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of heat pump systems and reducing the energy consumption. There is provided a liquefaction promoting apparatus to be disposed on a pipeline of a heat pump system for the purpose of stirring and uniformly mixing the fluid containing refrigerant and refrigerator oil circulating therein. The apparatus comprises a cylindrical casing, an one or more channelizing units each composed of a pair of large-diameter disks on its outer side and a pair of small-diameter disks on its inner side disposed in axial alignment inside the cylindrical casing. Each of the large-diameter disks is on its inner surface with a honeycomb panel having polygonal cells and each of the small-diameter disks is formed on its outer surface with a honeycomb panel having polygonal cells such that the honeycomb panels of the large-diameter disks and of the small-diameter disks are arranged to face each other and each polygonal cell communicates with more than one opposing polygonal cells. The fluid containing refrigerant and refrigerator oil is circulated in the heat pump system with a pressure of 0.2 to 10 MPa.

A modular continuous mixer includes a rigid casing having an inlet adjacent to an annular inlet end thereof and an outlet adjacent an opposing annular outlet end thereof. The casing further includes a cylindrical exterior casing wall that, together with the ends, define a volume therein. The ends each include a plurality of concentric rings of mixing pins projecting into the volume. One or more rotor disks are rotationally fixed within the casing between distal ends of the opposing pins. Each rotor disk includes a plurality of the concentric rings of mixing pins projecting from both sides thereof toward the inlet and outlet ends. A drive shaft is rotatably mounted in the casing and fixed through the center of each rotor disk. Additional casing extensions can be mounted between the inlet and outlet ends of the casing to facilitate further mixing.

Aeration discs used in water treatment and methods of using same are disclosed. According to one or more embodiments, an aeration disc may comprise projections and depressions located on at least one of its surfaces. The aeration discs may be incorporated into aeration devices and water treatment systems.

Mixing systems that include a mixer housing and one or more disk assemblies for mixing and processing materials is disclosed. The disks rotate to mix an additive into the material and to carry agglomerated solids toward a discharge of the mixing system. The disks may have a plurality of fingers or lobes which extend from a central portion of the disks.

A method is described of mixing fluid materials, including solids and gases. The materials to be mixed are introduced between two cylindrical rotors mounted in parallel on a motorized shaft. The rotors have arrays of cavities on their cylindrical surfaces and rotate within close proximity to the interior of a cylindrical shell. Passage of the fluid between the rotating rotors and the interior surface of the cylindrical shell causes cavitation, which mixes the materials. The mixture is passed to outlets on the far sides of the rotors from the inlet. Apparatus is described for extending the flow path of the materials and thus increasing exposure to the cavitation process.
