An internal combustion engine exhaust system mixer includes a mixer body (12) with deflection elements (16) extending radially outwards from a mixer body center (14). A ring-shaped carrier area (22) adjoins the mixer body radially on the outside and encloses a mixer longitudinal axis. The carrier area includes a mixer connection area (24) for connecting the mixer (10) to an exhaust system component. A pipe connection wall (30) adjoins the mixer connection area and has a wall inner surface (32). A mixer body carrier wall (34) adjoins the mixer connection area, carries the mixer body, and is enclosed by the pipe connection wall. A first transition surface (40) adjoins the wall and is arched essentially continuously concavely between the wall inner surface and the wall outer surface, and axially defines a ring-shaped pipe-mounting intermediate space (38) between the pipe connection wall and the mixer body carrier wall.

A separation device with two-stage gas-liquid mixture and conical spiral fields is provided. A first-stage uniform mixer performs first-stage gas-liquid crushing and uniform mixing process by an outer micropore ceramic pipe, a middle micropore ceramic pipe and an inner micropore ceramic pipe and crushes large bubbles in the gas-liquid two-phase flow into small bubbles. A second-stage uniform mixer performs second-stage gas-liquid crushing and uniform mixing process. A whirlpool-making gas collector adjusts the gas-liquid uniform mixing flow obtained after two-stage gas-liquid uniform mixing into hollow-core type high-speed two-phase spiral flow. A conical degasser performs gas-liquid efficient separation operation in a high-speed conical spiral field. A two-stage uniform mixing control system and a gas-liquid separation control system automatically regulate and control the flow and the flow pressure of the gas-liquid two-phase flow, the gas-liquid uniform mixing flow and degassed gas flow and degassed liquid flow.

A static mixer for mixing fluid flow in a pipeline includes a body having a plurality of slots through the body, the slots being angled with respect to an axis passing through a center of the body. A plurality of arms extends from an outer edge of the body towards a center of the body, each arm having a flat surface on a first side of the body and angled sides along at least a portion thereof extending to a second side of the body. The plurality of slots includes at least one concentric ring of slots.

A static mixer includes a tubular body having a sidewall with an upstream end, a downstream end opposite the upstream end, and an inner surface. The upstream end has a surface defining an upstream opening into the body. The downstream end has a surface defining a downstream opening exiting the body. The upstream opening, the downstream opening, and inner surface define a passageway through the body for transport of a first fluid therethrough. A primary fin may depend from the inner surface of the body and into the passageway. The primary fin may have a curved fin with a flow surface. A secondary fin may extend into the passageway adjacent to the primary fin, the secondary fin may have a curved flow surface that curves opposite to the flow surface of the primary fin. The secondary fin may be offset upstream or downstream from the primary fin.

An exhaust gas aftertreatment system includes an exhaust gas conduit a mixer, and a plurality of flow disrupters. The exhaust gas conduit is centered on a conduit center axis and includes an inner surface. The mixer includes a mixer body and an upstream vane plate. The upstream vane plate has a plurality of upstream vanes. At least one of the upstream vanes is coupled to the mixer body. The flow disrupters are disposed downstream of the mixer and circumferentially around the conduit center axis. Each of the flow disrupters is coupled to the exhaust gas conduit or integrally formed with the exhaust gas conduit. Each of the flow disrupters extends inwardly from the inner surface.

A static mixer includes at least one flow inverter baffle. The flow inverter baffle includes a first dividing panel to divide the fluid flow into a first flow portion adjacent a first side of the first dividing panel and a second flow portion adjacent a second side of the first dividing panel. The flow inverter baffle also includes a dividing element to divide the second flow portion into first and second perimeter flow portions. Additionally, first, second and third inversion elements to invert the flow layers of the at least two components by shifting the fluid flow to a different portion of a flow cross-section within the mixer while maintaining the general orientation of the flow layers as the fluid flow moves progresses through the flow inverter baffle. The flow inverter baffle also reduces backpressure by limiting the total amount of movement to cause the inversion.

A variable geometry mixer for mixing reductant with engine exhaust includes at least one movable mixer blade or set of movable vanes. The variable geometry mixer is operable to extend the mixer blade(s) into the flow of exhaust under low exhaust flow conditions and to retract the mixer blade(s) out of the flow of exhaust under high exhaust flow conditions, or to increase the angle of the movable vanes under low exhaust flow conditions and to decrease the angle of the movable vanes under high exhaust flow conditions. The movable mixer blade(s) may adjoin at least one fixed geometry defining component. Control of the angle or position of the mixer blade(s) or movable vanes may be based on exhaust flow conditions, exhaust temperature, reductant dosing quantity, a particulate filter regeneration event, vehicle information, vehicle engine information, vehicle location, topographical information, and/or environmental information.
