Disclosed herein is a device (1) for generating a dispersion of a first phase in a second phase, the device comprising a first inlet (2) for supplying a first phase, which opens into a first chamber (4), a second inlet for supplying a second phase, opening into a second chamber and a dispersion outlet (6) for collecting the dispersion. Furthermore, the device comprises a membrane (7), which separates the first chamber (4) and the second chamber (5) and which comprises a first side (8) facing the first chamber (4) and a second side (9) facing the second chamber (5). The membrane (7) comprises multiple channels (10) extending from the first side (8) to the second side (9), providing a fluidic connection between the first chamber (4) and the second chamber (5). Each channel (10) comprises a channel inlet (11) arranged on the first side (8) mid a channel outlet 812) arranged on the second side (9). The first chamber (4) is typically configured such that a flow rate of the first phase through all of the individual channels (10) is essentially equal.

An admixing system for fire-extinguishing installations is provided for generating a mixture (premix) of extinguishing medium and extinguishing medium additive by admixing an extinguishing medium additive to an extinguishing medium. The admixing system has a motor that can be driven by a flow of extinguishing medium, an admixing pump that is connected to the motor and serves for supplying the extinguishing medium additive to an extinguishing medium additive inlet line, an admixing line, and an extinguishing medium additive outlet line from which the extinguishing medium additive is admixed to the extinguishing medium in the admixing line. The admixing pump is a piston pump having multiple cylinders and at least two outputs connected to the cylinders. At least one first output, through which return flow is possible, can be switchably fluidically connected either to a return flow line through which the extinguishing medium additive flows back to the admixing pump, or to the extinguishing medium additive outlet line. If the extinguishing medium additive flows from the return-flow-compatible output back to the admixing pump, it is therefore not admixed to the extinguishing medium in the admixing line. Thus, the admixing rate can be changed simply by means of this switching.

A method of mixing a pharmaceutical solution including adding a gas into an interior compartment of a mix bag to form a headspace. The interior compartment of the mix bag includes a top portion and a bottom portion. The headspace adjacent to the top portion contains gas. The method includes adding a solvent into the mix bag, and establishing a bubble column in the interior compartment by activating a recirculation assembly. The recirculation assembly includes a connecting pathway operably coupled to a recirculation pump. A first end of the connecting pathway is coupled to a top gas recirculation port and a second end is coupled to a bottom gas recirculation port of the mix bag such that the recirculation pump draws the gas from the headspace and delivers the gas to the interior compartment via the bottom gas recirculation port. The method includes adding a solute into the mix bag.

Ingredient cartridges and associated fluid mixture dispensing devices are disclosed herein. An ingredient cartridge can include a recyclable fluid storage portion, a recyclable shell at least partially surrounding the recyclable fluid storage portion, and a sturdy portion attached to the recyclable shell and having a device mating interface for a cartridge mating interface on the fluid mixture dispensing device. The cartridge mating interface can be a sliding cartridge mating interface meant to interface with a cartridge that slides into the device. The sliding cartridge mating interface can include a first anchor for receiving a mating interface of a cartridge, a second anchor for receiving a mating interface of the cartridge, and a rail surface. The first anchor and the second anchor can extend from the rail surface. The first anchor and the second anchor can be the tallest protrusions on the rail surface.

A liquid-liquid mixing device (10, 210) includes a barrel (20, 220) with a liquid port (23) at or adjacent one end. A plunger assembly (30) is reciprocably moveable along an axis in the barrel (20, 220) and includes a seal member (31, 231) and an agitator (50, 250). The seal member (31, 231) is in sealingly slidable engagement with the internal wall of the barrel (20, 220) to define a variable volume chamber (24, 224) therein in communication with the liquid port. The agitator (50, 250) is reciprocably moveable in the variable volume chamber (24, 224), which agitator (50, 250) includes one or more end to end passages (54) through which liquid in the chamber (24, 224) is forced as the agitator (250) reciprocates in the chamber (24, 224). The device (10) also includes a mode selector mechanism (60, 28, 46, 64, 65, 90, 92, 94, 96) for selection between at least two modes of operation for the plunger assembly, wherein the mode selector mechanism (60, 28, 46, 64, 65, 90, 92, 94, 96) is adjustable between two or more modes whereby movement of the plunger assembly (30) effects either movement of the agitator (50, 250) with the seal member (31, 231) or movement of the agitator (50, 250) relative to the seal member (31, 231), depending on the selected mode.
