Mixer arrangement and method for operating a mixer arrangement
A mixer arrangement for an exhaust gas system, having an inlet opening through which an exhaust gas mass flow (A) can be guided, and a mixer for swirling the exhaust gas, which has at least one inflow opening that is fluidically connected to the inlet opening, wherein at least one first portion (A1) of the exhaust gas mass flow (A) can be guided through the mixer via the at least one inflow opening, an injection device by means of which an additive can be injected, and a bypass having at least one throughflow opening which is fluidically connected to the inlet opening and through which a second portion (A2) of the exhaust gas mass flow (A) can be guided past the mixer, there being provided at least one regulating body by means of which a flow cross-section Q in the mixer arrangement can be varied such that a ratio V with (formula I) can be varied.

Clamshell material flow amplifier
Disclosed material flow amplifiers have opposing amplifier bodies each with a profile that jointly defines an amplifier body (i.e., “clamshell configuration”). The amplifier body has a flow expander section and a vortex inducer section. A vortex chamber insert is within at least an interior space of the vortex inducer section. Such material flow amplifiers provide for flow of flowable material within a flow passage of a material flow conduit (e.g., a portion of a pipeline, tubing or the like) to have a cyclonic flow (i.e., vortex or swirling) profile. Advantageously, the cyclonic flow profile centralizes flow toward the central portion of the flow passage, thereby reducing laminar flow.

Valvular conduit
A valvular conduit, preferably a Tesla valvular conduit, in which a plug member is coaxially received within a bore in a sleeve member and in which passageways are defined between the plug member and the sleeve member within interior walls configured to permit mixing of fluid flowing through the passageways in at least one direction, preferably, the relatively free passage of fluid through the passageways upstream but increased the resistance to downstream flow of the fluid through each passageway.

Mixer
The present disclosure relates to a mixer for mixing pasty components, comprising a mixing case extending along a longitudinal axis and having at least one inlet, preferably two inlets, and an outlet, and comprising at least one mixing element received in the mixing case, which defines a plurality of chambers together with the mixing case, said chambers being arranged successively and/or adjacently along a flow path from the inlets to the outlet. The chambers are defined by transverse walls, each extending perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis, and four side walls that each extend parallel to the longitudinal axis, and adjacent chambers are interconnected by a flow by means of through-openings provided in the side walls, the mixing element comprising two strips forming side walls, which are connected by a web that forms other side walls and is perpendicularly arranged in relation to the strips, a first group of chambers having first through-openings arranged in the web, which extend up to a strip, and a second group of chambers comprising second through-openings positioned at a distance to at least one strip in the web.
Mixer
A mixer for an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine includes a mixer housing (40) with an inflow opening central axis (LE) and with an outflow opening (38). A first flow duct (48) following the inflow opening (24) in the mixer housing (40) and a second flow duct (50) lead parallel to one another to a third flow duct (54) and open into same. The third flow duct (54) leads to the outflow opening (38). The first flow duct (48) and the second flow duct (50) are provided between an outer wall (16) of the mixer housing (40) and a flow divider wall (36) enclosed by the outer wall (16), and the third flow duct (54) is enclosed by the flow divider wall (36).
Cyclonic flow-inducing pump
Disclosed cyclonic flow-inducing pumps overcome drawbacks associated with known adverse flow conditions that arise from flow of certain types of materials through a material flow conduit. Such cyclonic flow-inducing pumps provide for flow of flowable material within a flow passage of a material flow conduit (e.g., a portion of a pipeline, tubing or the like) to have a cyclonic flow (i.e., vortex or swirling) profile. Advantageously, the cyclonic flow profile centralizes flow toward the central portion of the flow passage, thereby reducing magnitude of laminar flow. Such cyclonic flow profile provides a variety of other advantages as compared to a parabolic flow profile such as, for example, increased flow rate, reduce inner pipeline wear, more uniform inner pipe wear, reduction in energy consumption, reduced or eliminated adverse considerations such as slugging.
STATIC MIXER
A static mixer includes two or more mixing segments, each mixing segment including an inlet section, an outlet section oppositely disposed to the inlet section, a longitudinal axis defined between the inlet section and the outlet section, a plurality of mixing passages and a common distributor connected to each of the plurality of mixing passages of the mixing segment. The common distributor is arranged at the inlet section. Furthermore, inlets of the passages of the mixing segments form an inlet arrangement at the distributor of the corresponding mixing segment and outlets of the passages of the individual mixing segments form an outlet arrangement at the outlet section of the corresponding mixing segment. Thereby, the outlet arrangement is different from the inlet arrangement.
