Abstract:
1. A system for manufacturing an emulsified/dispersed liquid by applying a shearing force to a liquid mixture containing a medium liquid and an emulsification/dispersion material of solid state or liquid state which is not soluble into the medium liquid so as to emulsify or disperse the emulsification/dispersion material into the medium liquid, the system comprising: a liquid mixture supplying device for supplying the liquid mixture containing the medium liquid and the emulsification/dispersion material; a liquid mixture pressurizing device for pressurizing the liquid mixture supplied by the liquid mixture supplying device and discharging the pressurized liquid mixture therefrom; an emulsification/dispersion device adapted to receive the pressurized liquid mixture discharged by the liquid mixture pressurizing device and generate a jet flow of the liquid mixture by transforming pressure energy of the liquid mixture to kinetic energy so as to emulsify/disperse the emulsification/dispersion material in the liquid mixture into the medium liquid in the liquid mixture by means of the shearing force generated by the jet flow to produce the emulsified/dispersed liquid and discharge the emulsified/dispersed liquid therefrom; and a multistage pressure/temperature control device adapted to receive the emulsified/dispersed liquid discharged by the emulsification/dispersion device and control temperature of the emulsified/dispersed liquid while lowering the pressure of the emulsified/dispersed liquid, and simultaneously to apply a backpressure to the emulsified/dispersed liquid in the emulsification/dispersion device, wherein
