According to one embodiment, an apparatus (50) for mounting to an inner wall (33) of an exhaust tube (32) includes a tube engagement surface (52) and an exhaust engagement surface (54A). The tube engagement surface comprises a convex surface of a constant first radius of curvature about a first axis. The exhaust engagement surface is adjacent the tube engagement surface, and includes a concave surface of a second radius of curvature about a second axis generally perpendicular to the first axis.

A method and apparatus for the treatment of water and, more particularly, to the mineralization of water in order to improve pH, hardness, turbidity, and/or alkalinity is described. More particularly, a system is provided for the treatment of water that needs additional hardness, alkalinity, and/or pH adjustment while also meeting turbidity requirements. The use of sodium hydroxide and other methods for avoiding turbidity problems can be eliminated and/or minimized.

Disclosed is an ergonomic device for mixing fluids with controlled metering, provided with at least a mixing system adapted to allow an automatic mixing in predetermined quantities of an additive fluid with a primary fluid. The device includes: at least a first coupling flange and a second coupling flange, provided with a plurality of connection systems, which may be located in the zone, and seals adapted to contain fluid leaks; a substantially cylindrical body of the device adapted to house a mixing system; a mixing mechanism consisting of an axis and a plurality of blades; at least one ergonomic grip; possibly an integrated train of reduction gears which transmits the correct torque and number of revolutions to the pump; at least one gear pump or equivalent device; possibly a gearbox; and a final metering nozzle.

An exhaust treatment system for a work vehicle includes a reductant injector configured to inject an exhaust reductant into the engine exhaust flow flowing through a mixing conduit. A flow separation nozzle is located downstream of the reductant injector and is configured to separate a liquid reductant flow from an inner conduit wall of the mixing conduit for mixing with the engine exhaust flow flowing therein.

An exhaust treatment system for a work vehicle includes a reductant injector configured to inject an exhaust reductant into the engine exhaust flow flowing through a mixing conduit. A plurality of flow separation elements are located downstream of the reductant injector and are configured to separate a liquid reductant flow from an inner conduit wall of the mixing conduit for mixing with the engine exhaust flow flowing therein.

A medical device for making foam includes a syringe having a plunger for dispensing a liquid from a liquid dispensing port, and a mixing chamber including a mixing chamber inlet, a mixing chamber outlet, a liquid flow channel extending between the mixing chamber inlet and the mixing chamber outlet, and a gas inlet channel that intersects with the liquid flow channel. The system has a gas cartridge containing the gas, a first gas conduit connected with the syringe, and a second gas conduit connected with the gas inlet channel. An actuator is coupled with the gas cartridge for releasing the gas into the first and second gas conduits. The released gas in the first gas conduit forces the plunger toward the liquid dispensing port for dispensing the liquid from the liquid dispensing port and into the liquid flow channel while the released gas in the second gas conduit flows into the gas inlet channel of the mixing chamber for mixing with the liquid in the liquid flow channel.

The present application discloses an exhaust gas after-treatment mixing device including a first plate, a second plate and a mixer. The mixer includes a first space, a second space and a third space located between the first space and the second space. Top portions of the first space and the second space are in communication with the third space. The mixer includes a first raised portion protruding into the third space and a second raised portion located below the first raised portion. A fourth space is formed between the first raised portion and the second raised portion. As a result, the distance and time of urea evaporation is increased and the mixing uniformity is improved. Besides, a package with the exhaust gas after-treatment mixing device is also provided.

A vane swirl mixer for exhaust aftertreatment includes: a vane swirl mixer inlet; a vane swirl mixer outlet; a first flow device including: a Venturi body; a plurality of upstream vanes positioned within the Venturi body; a plurality of upstream vane apertures interspaced between the plurality of upstream vanes; a plurality of downstream vanes positioned within the Venturi body; and a plurality of downstream vane apertures interspaced between the plurality of downstream vanes. At least one of the upstream vane hub and the downstream vane hub is radially offset from a Venturi center axis, thereby causing individual ones of the plurality of vanes coupled to the radially offset vane hub to differ in their geometry.

A multi-stage mixer includes a multi-stage mixer inlet, a multi-stage mixer outlet, a first flow device, and a second flow device. The multi-stage mixer inlet is configured to receive exhaust gas. The multi-stage mixer outlet is configured to provide the exhaust gas to a catalyst. The first flow device is configured to receive the exhaust gas from the multi-stage mixer inlet and to receive reductant such that the reductant is partially mixed with the exhaust gas within the first flow device. The first flow device includes a plurality of main vanes and a plurality of main vane apertures. The plurality of main vane apertures is interspaced between the plurality of main vanes. The plurality of main vane apertures is configured to receive the exhaust gas and to cooperate with the plurality of main vanes to provide the exhaust gas from the first flow device with a swirl flow.

Disclosed is a mixing structure for spraying and mixing urea water (additive agent) into and with exhaust gas 1 flowing through a communication passage 7 (exhaust flow passage). The mixing structure is provided with a curved portion 11 in the communication passage 7 downstream of a sprayed position of the urea water as well as a depression 12 on an exit side of the curved portion 11 and formed on only one of sides of the curved portion 11 bisected by a plane into plane symmetry.
