A system for treating exhaust gas of a vessel having at least one engine equipped with a turbocharger includes a storage tank configured to store a powder for treating the exhaust gas, and a dosing assembly fluidly coupled to the storage tank. The dosing assembly is configured to inject the powder into the exhaust gas at or adjacent the turbocharger, and includes a nozzle for injecting the powder into the exhaust gas. The nozzle includes a conduit configured to transport the powder, and a conical member mounted to a distal end of the conduit and defining a central hole in fluid communication with the conduit for guiding a first portion of the powder through the central hole. The distal end of the conduit and the conical member together define an annular gap configured to guide a second portion of the powder through the annular gap.

A method and apparatus for obtaining a product chemistry from a solid block is provided. The product is housed within a dispenser, which utilizes a liquid and a gas to erode the block and produce a concentrate solution. The liquid and gas characteristics can be adjusted in the field to achieve a predetermined concentrate level in the solution. The introduction of air into the dispenser saves water, while producing higher concentrate levels.

The inventions cover systems and methods for generation of emulsions having suitable clarity without requiring refractive index matching between emulsion components. Systems can include: a substrate including a set of openings; a reservoir facing the substrate at a first side and containing a sample fluid configured for droplet formation upon interacting with the set of openings of the substrate; and a collecting container facing the substrate at a second side and containing a set of fluid layers configured with a density gradient and suitable immiscibility characteristics. One or more components of the system(s) can support methods for emulsion generation, in relation to enabling interactions between multiple continuous phases and a dispersed droplet phase to generate clear emulsions. Applications of the inventions(s) can include performance of droplet-based digital PCR in an improved manner (e.g., without requiring implementation of correction factors based upon Poisson statistics).

The present invention provides an apparatus for producing frozen confectionery products, the apparatus comprising a mixing chamber, the mixing chamber having: at least one frozen confection inlet connectable to a source of a frozen confection; at least one sauce inlet connectable to a source of sauce; and an outlet, wherein the at least one sauce inlet is positioned between the at least one frozen confection inlet and the outlet, characterised in that the mixing chamber is rotatable. The present invention provides a process for producing frozen confectionery products, the process comprising: providing the foregoing apparatus; supplying a frozen confection to the at least one frozen confection inlet; supplying a sauce to the at least one sauce inlet; and extruding the frozen confection and sauce from the outlet, characterised in that the mixing chamber is rotated thereby to distribute the sauce randomly throughout the frozen confection.

The invention relates to an apparatus for heating and foaming a liquid, in particular a beverage, comprising a steam line (6), which can be connected to a steam generator (1); a pressurized gas line (4), which can be connected to a pressurized gas source (2); and a conveying means (3), connected to the steam line (6) and the pressurized gas line (4), for generating and transferring a steam/gas mixture into the liquid, and a controllable switching valve (5), wherein hot steam is supplied to the conveying means (3) via the steam line (6) and a pressurized gas flow under a defined constant pressure is supplied via the pressurized gas line (4) and pressure pulses (p) are generated from the pressurized gas flow by means of the switching valve (5). In order to damp the generated pressure pulses, the conveying means (3) comprises an expansion chamber (15) having a nozzle (14) arranged on the downstream end of the expansion chamber (15).

An exhaust hydrogen dilution device includes a purge receiving chamber to store hydrogen purged from a fuel cell of a fuel cell system and an air passage chamber adjoining the purge receiving chamber. Diluter gas flows through the air passage chamber. An interface member between the chambers comprises an interface member having first and second vents respectively on an upstream side and a downstream side. A pressure loss at the first vent is greater than or equal to a pressure loss at the second vent. Some of the diluter gas flows into the purge receiving chamber through the first vent and is mixed with the hydrogen into a mixed gas that flows toward the second vent. The pressure losses are adjusted such that a ratio of the hydrogen flowing into the air passage chamber to a total amount of gases flowing through the air passage chamber is 4% or lower.

A slurry mixer for a battery electrode capable of maximally simplifying a configuration of a high-speed stirring body to minimize a rotational load, such that a stirring time of the slurry may be greatly reduced and productivity may be increased, preventing a powdery material from being accumulated on an upper side face and an upper surface of a low-speed stirring body, preventing a deterioration in a performance, failure and a reduction in a life span of a high-speed stirring shaft and bearing, and uniformly stirring mixed materials located at inner corners and a bottom of a container, thereby further increasing stirring efficiency.

Provided are a compact mixing system capable of reducing a use amount of a mixing agent and reducing a volume of a utility that supplies the mixing agent, and a measurement system using the mixing system. The mixing system includes: a mixing agent discharge nozzle through which a mixing agent to be mixed with a sample is to be discharged; and a movable mechanism configured to adjust a gap between the mixing agent discharge nozzle and a sample collection port that opens to an inside of a sample tube through which the sample is to flow so as to collect the sample.
