A flow of a chemical is mixed with a flow of a primary fluid to form a combined fluid, and during mixing a velocity of the combined fluid is maintained at a threshold value so that a resulting mixture of the chemical and primary fluid has a designated homogeneity. The primary fluid is directed to an end of a passage with a venturi like contour that is inside of a mixer, and the chemical is directed to a side passage that extends laterally in the mixer that intersects the passage. A spring loaded valve in the passage maintains the combined flow velocity at the threshold value.

A mixing assembly for an exhaust aftertreatment system includes a mixing body, an upstream plate, a downstream plate, and a swirl plate. The mixing body includes an upstream mixing body opening and a downstream mixing body opening. The upstream mixing body opening is configured to receive exhaust gas. The upstream plate is coupled to the mixing body. The upstream plate includes a plurality of upstream plate openings. Each of the plurality of upstream plate openings is configured to receive a flow percentage that is less than 50% of the total flow of the exhaust gas. The downstream plate is coupled to the mixing body downstream from the upstream plate in a direction of exhaust gas flow. The downstream plate includes a downstream plate opening. The swirl plate is positioned between the upstream plate and the downstream plate and defines a swirl collection region and a swirl concentration region.

A mixer for an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine includes a first mixer part (12) with a plate shape body (14) having an incoming upstream flow side (18), with respect to an exhaust gas main flow direction (A) and a downstream outflow side (22), and a second mixer part (24), on an outflow side, with a bottom wall (26) spaced apart from the plate shape body and with two side walls (28, 30), extending from the bottom wall (26) towards the plate shape body and fixed at the first mixer part. The mixer parts define a reactant injection duct (32) receiving reactant in a main injection direction (R). An exhaust gas main passage opening (54) the plate shape body opens towards the reactant injection duct with a plurality of exhaust gas secondary passage openings (78, 80, 82, 84, 86, 88, 90, 92) run past the injection duct.

A gas mixing device for linearizing or calibrating a gas analyzer. The gas mixing device includes a first gas inlet line for a first gas, a second gas inlet line for a second gas, a mixing channel having inlet openings which are arranged one behind the other in a flow direction, the inlet openings comprising a first upstream inlet opening and a second downstream inlet opening, and at least two valves which each comprise at least one inlet and one outlet. The at least two valves release or block a fluidic connection between at least one of the first gas inlet line and the second gas inlet line, and the mixing channel via the inlet openings. A flow cross section of the mixing channel is smaller at the first upstream inlet opening than at the second downstream inlet opening.

A mixer for a vehicle exhaust system, according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a mixer outer shell defining an internal cavity configured to receive engine exhaust gases, the mixer outer shell having a first end and a second end opposite the first end. A baffle is associated with one of the first and second ends. The baffle comprises a body that includes at least one sensor area formed within the body.

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 or 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.

Provided is an ultrafine bubble generating method and an ultrafine bubble generating apparatus capable of efficiently generating a UFB-containing liquid with high purity. To this end, a flow passage inner volume is varied by using a flow passage inner volume varying element, the liquid is pressurized such that the liquid passes through a narrow portion at high speed and flows into a depressurizing area.

The present disclosure relates to a mixer, an exhaust system and a mixing method. The mixer comprises a shell, defining a first space, wherein the shell has a first opening; a mounting seat, mounted on the first opening, for mounting a doser; a swirling body, located in the first space, wherein the swirling body defines a mixing chamber, and there is a axial gap between one end of the swirling body and the mounting seat, forming a first axial gap area; and the side wall of the swirling body has a plurality of second openings distributed along the circumferential direction, wherein the second opening is mounted with a swirling component; and a rib, wherein the rib encloses the first axial gap area in the circumferential direction.

An exhaust system assembly including a catalyst housing, a catalyst core, and a swirler tube positioned inside the catalyst housing. The swirler tube has a plurality of openings that permit radial exhaust flow into an inner volume of the swirler tube from the catalyst housing. One end of the swirler tube has blades that extend inward and include oblique surfaces arranged at oblique angles relative to a centerline axis of the swirler tube. These blades induce a vortex in the exhaust gases exiting the first swirler tube end. The swirler tube is arranged inside the catalyst housing such that a sequential flow path is created where the exhaust gases flowing through the catalyst housing must first pass through the openings in the swirler tube and then by the blades at the first swirler tube end.
