APPAREIL SOUS LA FORME D'UNE STRUCTURE UNITAIRE MONOBLOC CONCUE POUR PRODUIRE ET MELANGER DES BULLES DE GAZ ULTRA-FINES DANS UNE SOLUTION AQUEUSE A CONCENTRATION DE GAZ ELEVEE
A mixing apparatus for generating and mixing gas bubbles into an aqueoussolution includes a structure defining aninterior fluid-flow chamber that extends along a longitudinal axis between aninput port at a liquid input end and an output port at aliquid output end. The structure includes a gas injection portion locatedupstream from the liquid output end and a mixing vane portionextending in the downstream direction from the gas injection portion. The gasinjection portion defines a gas injection lumen and a firstregion of the interior fluid-flow chamber, while the mixing vane portiondefines a second region of the interior fluid-flow chamber.The first region of the interior fluid-flow chamber includes a plurality ofside fluid-path lumens that extend alongside a first part ofthe gas injection lumen. This first part of the gas injection lumen and theside fluid-path lumens merge with a downstream fluid-path
