Abstract:
1. A static mixing device for mixing fluids comprising: at least one conical section having a tapered configuration; a mixing section including at least a first set of vane members, each set including at least two vane members, each of the at least two vane members being supported by and extending radially from an internal wall surface of the mixing section and wherein each of the at least two vane members includes a plate member with a base edge that is secured to the internal wall surface of the mixing section, the plate member including an upstanding oblong tab with a leading edge extending upwardly and rearwardly from a forward corner of the base edge to a plate peak, the leading edge connecting with a curved trailing edge, the trailing edge extending downwardly and rearwardly to a rear corner of the base edge so as to complete the shape of each plate member to promote mixing of the fluids within the mixing section; a longitudinally extending flow path defined by the at least one conical section and the mixing section, the flow path guiding the fluids during operation through the mixing device; and wherein the at least one conical section is an inlet conical section disposed upstream of the mixing section and constructed and arranged to reduce the pressure loss in the static mixing device by smoothing the flow of fluid entering the mixing section.
