Abstract:
1. A static mixing device for mixing fluids within a fluid channel comprising: a baseplate constructed and arranged to be secured within the fluid channel; at least one vane member supported by and extending from the baseplate, the at least one vane member including a plate member having a base edge supported by the baseplate, the plate member including an upstanding oblong tab with a leading edge extending upwardly and rearward 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 rearward to a rear corner of the base edge and a mixing cap supported on the trailing edge and including a forward peak adjacent the plate peak; a longitudinally extending flow path defined by the fluid channel, the flow path guiding fluid through the channel; an injection nozzle positioned upstream of the at least one vane member, at approximately the plate peak or forward peak, the injection nozzle constructed and arranged to transport an additive into the fluid flowing through the channel; and wherein additives injected through the injection nozzle enter the fluid flowing through the channel at an inception point of vortices created by the at least one vane members, the additive becoming incorporated into the fluid flow through the vortex mixing.
