Patent ID: 7665887

Claim:
A mixing apparatus for a multi-phase fluid at constant temperature and pressure, eliminating siphoning, vacuum, cavitation, pumping and differential pressure factors, said mixing apparatus comprising: a chamber; a shaft extending into said chamber; a motor drivingly interconnected to said shaft so as to rotate said shaft in said chamber; a nozzle support affixed to said shaft and extending outwardly therefrom within said chamber; and a first nozzle having a body with an interior passageway, said interior passageway having an inlet at one end of said body and an outlet at or adjacent to an opposite end of said body, said first nozzle affixed to said nozzle support such that said first nozzle moves in said chamber as said motor drivingly rotates said shaft, said body being a tubular body with a tube section and a frustoconical section extending so as to widen toward said outlet from said tube section, said first nozzle moving through a hydraulic fluid of said multi-phase fluid such that said hydraulic fluid is channeled through said interior passageway at a same rate that said nozzle moves through said hydraulic fluid, said body having an longitudinal metal coupon extending around said interior passageway inwardly of said inlet of said interior passageway, said inlet of said interior passageway being tapered so as to narrow toward said interior passageway; and a flow restrictor positioned in said chamber adjacent said inner wall of said chamber.
