A pressurized container assembly includes a pressurized container, a valve, and a shearing chamber. A flowable product and propellant are also provided within the container. The propellant is substantially non-soluble in the flowable product. Methods of producing a foamed flowable product using shearing chambers are also disclosed.

To provide an emulsion preparation device capable of forming an emulsion in a chemical liquid of diverse composition and further realizing a relatively low sliding resistance. An emulsion preparation device (1) provided with a filter part (10), wherein: the filter part (10) is constructed from first and second, two mesh parts (31) and (33) and fibers (32); and the fibers (32) are loaded into a space (30) between the first mesh part (31) and the second mesh part (32).

An air pre-treatment device to reduce the consumption of fuel of an engine or of a boiler by optimizing the characteristics of the oxidant thereof, i.e., of the ambient air and the moisture level thereof. The formatting chamber is defined by a pipe including homogenization members embedded in a lattice of magnetic or ferromagnetic fibers. The homogenization members include a central longitudinal axis made from magnetic or ferromagnetic material, and provided with the magnetic elements. The magnetic elements are disposed along the central longitudinal axis in field opposition and in alternation with ceramic elements. Thus, it is possible to optimize the oxidant of an engine, i.e., the ambient air passing through the formatting chamber with a frequency and coercive field induced by the magnetic elements, as well as concentrating the molecules of water at the ceramic elements.

A fine bubbles generation system for converting gas into fine bubbles in liquid is disclosed. The system comprises a reactor vessel comprising gas input means (2), liquid input means (8), liquid output means, and agitation (7) and mechanical interaction means (11) arranged for providing fine bubble-laden liquid in a two-step process. A fine bubbles generation method for converting gas into fine bubbles in liquid is also disclosed.

A system for dissolving gases in water comprises a mixing chamber that holds gas and a container in fluid communication with the mixing chamber. In operation, the mixing chamber is flooded to purge the ambient air. A gas delivery system introduces gas into the mixing chamber to push the water out. A pump then pumps temperature and salinity-treated water into the mixing chamber, and a distributor sprays or disperses the water into the mixing chamber. An optional impingement plate and/or mixing medium trap gas bubbles and hold gas-saturated water within the mixing chamber. This produces a volume of substantially bubble-free, highly-saturated gas-infused water that is then released into the container to mix with the water contained therein. This system can be incorporated in aquariums, ice chests, buckets, and live wells found on boats, kayaks, trucks, and other transports.

Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to foam generation and provide a novel and non-obvious insert for a foam generation apparatus. In an embodiment of the invention, an insert for a foam generator includes a cylindrical cage and a multiplicity of fins extending from an interior portion of the cage towards a longitudinal axis of the cage, and at an inclined angle relative to the axis. The insert further includes at least one pad contacting the interior portion of the cage in a volume defined by opposing sets of the fins and the interior portion of the cage.

A foam generator includes a foam generation chamber which contains or consists of a porous filling material and which has at least one inlet for supplying a liquid and a gas, and an outlet for discharging the foam generated in the foam generation chamber. The mean pore diameter of a cross-sectional area of the filling material decreases from the inlet to the outlet continuously or discretely.

A handheld device for mixing a liquid and a gas to form foam before a treatment procedure comprises: an inlet for letting a liquid enter the device, the inlet adapted for attachment to a syringe containing the liquid, an outlet for letting a formed foam exit the device, a chamber containing a gas, the chamber comprising the inlet and outlet, at least one agitation element disposed in the chamber, the at least one agitation element is arranged for independent movement in at least one degree of freedom, the at least one agitation element sized and shaped to mechanically agitate liquid flowing past the at least one agitation element, the liquid flowing in an overall inlet-to-outlet direction, the agitation being sufficient for the at least some of the liquid to mix with the gas to produce the formed foam; the device is dimensioned for holding in one hand.
