Described is a mixer for a chromatography system. The mixer includes an inlet manifold channel, an outlet manifold channel and a plurality of transfer channels. The inlet manifold channel has an inlet at a proximal end of the inlet manifold channel for receiving an inlet flow. The transfer channels are fluidly connected between the inlet and outlet manifold channels. The respective fluid connections are distributed along each of the inlet and outlet manifolds channels. The transfer channels have different volumes. The mixer may be formed of a plurality of layer and the layers may be diffusion bonded to each other.

A mixer comprises a tubular housing defining a longitudinal axis along which exhaust gas flows. Injected reductant flows along an injection axis that extends at a non-parallel angle to the longitudinal axis. A first flow guide element extends across and blocks a portion of the tubular housing and includes a first aperture extending therethrough. The first flow guide element is positioned upstream from the reductant inlet such that exhaust gas flowing through the first aperture is impinged by the reductant. A second flow guide element is positioned downstream from the first flow guide element and fixed to the first flow guide element to define a mixing chamber in which injected reductant and exhaust gas mix. An intermediate wall is integrally formed with one of the first and second flow guide elements. The other of the first and second flow guide elements is fixed to the intermediate wall.

A micro-bubble generator is provided between an input end and an output end of a water outlet device. The micro-bubble generator includes a water inlet member and a water outlet member. A gas inlet gap is remained between the water inlet member and the water outlet member, with the gas inlet gap being communicated to external air, such that the external air is allowed to enter the micro-bubble generator for gas-liquid mixing and generate minute and dense bubbles.

Described is a mixer for a liquid chromatography system. The mixer includes an inlet, an outlet, a first flow channel, and a second flow channel. The inlet receives a fluid flow to be mixed and the outlet provides the mixed fluid flow. Each of the two flow channels is coupled between the inlet and the outlet. The second flow channel includes an offset volume that delays fluid propagation through the second flow channel relative to the first flow channel. The offset volume includes a coiled channel which increases radial dispersion and decreases axial dispersion of a fluid flowing through the offset volume, thereby enabling a further reduction in periodic noise in a detector baseline signal as compared to known split flow mixers for liquid chromatography systems.

A fine bubble generator may include an inlet, an outlet, a first fine bubble generation portion including a first flow path, and a second fine bubble generation portion including a second flow path. The first flow path may include a diameter-reducing flow path and a diameter-increasing flow path. The second flow path may include a guide flow path and a collision flow path disposed downstream of the guide flow path. A first bearing and a first impeller rotatably attached to the first bearing may be disposed on the collision flow path. The first impeller may include a disc disposed at a position at which the gas-dissolved water collides with the disc; a first rotation shaft disposed on a downstream surface of the disc and rotatably attached to the first bearing; and one or more first vanes disposed on an upstream surface of the disc.

A fine bubble generator may include an inlet; an outlet; a first fine bubble generation portion; and a second fine bubble generation portion. The first fine bubble generation portion includes: a diameter-reducing flow path and a diameter-increasing flow path. The second fine bubble generation portion includes: a first swirling flow generation portion; and a second swirling flow generation portion. The first swirling flow generation portion includes: a first outer peripheral portion; and a plurality of first vanes disposed configured to generate a first swirling flow flowing in a first swirling direction with respect to a center axis of the second fine bubble generation portion. The second swirling flow generation portion includes: a second outer peripheral portion; and a plurality of second vanes configured to generate a second swirling flow flowing in a second swirling direction opposite to the first swirling direction with respect to the center axis.

A static mixer (100), comprising a static mixer housing, having an inlet port (120) for receiving a fluid, a channel (104) in fluid communication with the inlet port (120), a raised rib along a perimeter of the channel (104), a flow splitter for splitting the fluid into a first stream (106a) and a second stream (106b) within channels, a second flow splitter for splitting the first stream (106a) into a third stream (110a) and a fourth stream (110b) within channels and a third flow splitter for splitting the second stream (106b) into a fifth stream (110c) and a sixth stream (110d) within channels, a first T-style junction for rejoining and mixing the third stream and the fourth stream within a channel (112a), a second T-style junction for rejoining and mixing the fifth stream and the sixth stream within a channel (112b), and a third T-style junction for rejoining and mixing the streams; and a plastic film, the plastic film sealed to the raised rib, forming a static mixer (100) capable of mixing the fluid while remaining in a state of laminar flow.

A nozzle for generating fine bubbles, the nozzle including: a hollow housing; and a plurality of plates provided in the housing and partitioning the housing into a plurality of spaces, wherein an upper face or a side face of the housing is provided with an inflow port into which a gas-dissolved liquid flows and which communicates with an uppermost space of the spaces partitioned by the plate, each of the plates is provided with a plurality of through-holes, and a lower face of the housing is provided with a slit communicating with a lowermost space of the spaces partitioned by the plate.
