A static mixer may include a housing having an inlet and an outlet. The static mixer may also include a mixing element arranged within the housing. The mixing element may include a plurality of blade disk pairs arranged in crisscrossing fashion, each blade disk, of the pairs of blade disks, comprising a plurality of parallel extending and spaced apart blades. In some examples, a blade disk may include a link connecting the end of each of the plurality of parallel extending and spaced apart blades. In some examples, the link may be a ring base. In other examples, the link may be a propped tie. Alternatively or additionally, a support perch may be provided for supporting a ring base of an adjoining module.

A mixing baffle for mixing a fluid flow includes a longitudinal support structure and a first set of moveable mixing elements integrally molded with and extending from the longitudinal support structure. The first set of moveable mixing elements are molded in a first configuration and deform to a second configuration. The first set of moveable mixing elements may deform when the mixing baffle is inserted into a conduit. A static mixer for mixing a fluid includes a conduit and the mixing baffle inserted in the conduit.

A static mixing device subassembly that can be joined with other static mixing device subassemblies to form a static mixing device. The subassembly comprises a first pair of intersecting grids of spaced-apart and parallel deflector blades and a second pair of intersecting grids of spaced-apart and parallel deflector blades. The deflector blades in each one of the grids are interleaved with the deflector blades in the paired intersecting grid and have uncut side portions that join them together along a transverse strip where the deflector blades cross each other and cut side portions that extend from the uncut side portions to the ends of the deflector blades. Each of the deflector blades in one of the grids in each pair of grids has a bent portion that places segments of the deflector blade on opposite sides of the uncut portion in offset parallel planes. Some or all of the deflector blades in the other one of the grids in one of the pairs of grids has uncut ends that are interconnected with uncut ends of deflector blades in the other one of the grids in the other one of the pairs of grids along a reverse bend that aligns one of the pairs of grids with the other pair of grids.

The invention relates to mixing elements with a reduced structural depth for static mixers, to static mixers comprising at least two mixing elements with a reduced structural depth, and to a method for mixing fluids using a mixing element with a reduced structural depth or a static mixer comprising at least two mixing elements with a reduced structural depth. In the mixing elements, the thickness of the transverse strut at its thickest point is maximally 0.9 to 1.1 times the thickness of the webs multiplied by the cosine of half the opening angle O divided by the sine of the whole opening angle O.

A static mixer may include a housing having an inlet and an outlet. The static mixer may also include a mixing element arranged within the housing. The mixing element may include a plurality of blade disk pairs arranged in crisscrossing fashion, each blade disk, of the pairs of blade disks, comprising a plurality of parallel extending and spaced apart blades.

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.

The present invention relates to a dispenser for viscous materials that includes a static mixer, a first and second receptacle R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 for a first and second viscous material, connected in fluid communication with the static mixer, a first and second actuator configured for discharge of receptacle R.sub.1 and R.sub.2, an electrically or manually operable drive and a mechanical or hydraulic power transmission configured to translate drive motion into first and second actuator motion.

The present disclosure relates to an electrochemical flow reactor, such as a continuous flow electrochemical tubular reactor. This disclosure also relates to processes, systems, and methods comprising an electrochemical flow reactor. An electrochemical flow cell can comprise a reaction chamber, a first static mixer electrode, a second counter electrode, and a separator disposed between the first and second electrodes.

A mixer duct for mixing of a turbulent flow includes an inlet, an outlet in fluid communication with the inlet, and at least one static mixer element located between the inlet and the outlet. The at least one static mixer element includes at least two at least substantially coplanar plate-like segments spaced apart by a substantially longitudinal gap. Each segment is attached to a duct wall and comprises at least two free edges, with one free edge being a leading edge and the other free edge adjacent to the longitudinal gap. The at least two segments are inclined relative to a duct axis so that their leading edge is oriented up-stream in the mixer duct and substantially perpendicular to a direction of a main fluid flow.

An aftertreatment system for treating constituents of an exhaust gas produced by an engine, comprising: a housing; a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system disposed within the housing; a reductant injector disposed on a sidewall of the housing upstream of the SCR system and configured to insert a reductant into the exhaust gas; and a vortex generator disposed in the housing, the vortex generator comprising at least one deflector disposed on a surface within the housing, the at least one deflector configured to generate vortices in a portion of the exhaust gas flow flowing over the at least one deflector such that the portion of the exhaust gas remains attached to the surface at a downstream location of the surface.
