Patent ID: 7955567

Claim:
An improvement to a triple helical flow vortex reactor with a reaction chamber having a fuel inlet end, a gas outlet end at opposing axial ends of the reaction chamber, and further with an inner wall, means for creating a fluid flow first vortex of combusted gases such that fuel and combusted gases spiral away from a fuel inlet end towards the gas outlet end of the reaction chamber, a first circumferential flow apparatus fluidly connected to the reaction chamber at the gas outlet end for creating a circumferential fluid flow second vortex at the periphery of the reaction chamber such that said second vortex spirals away from said apparatus towards the fuel inlet end in a direction reverse to the fluid flow first vortex, a second circumferential flow apparatus at the fuel inlet end having a fluid connection for creating a circumferential fluid flow third vortex at the periphery of the reaction chamber such that said vortex spirals in a forward direction with the outward flow of combusted gases and creates a mixing region adjacent to the fuel inlet end, wherein the improvement comprises, the inner wall having at least one transition point between the fuel inlet end and the gas outlet end wherein the transition point begins a narrowing of the reaction chamber from a larger fuel inlet end to a narrower gas outlet end; and, a third circumferential flow apparatus operating at each transition point to create a circumferential fluid flow transition vortex at the periphery of the reaction chamber such that said transition vortex spirals away from said apparatus towards the fuel inlet end in a direction reverse to the fluid flow first vortex.
