Patent ID: 8517599

Claim:
A method of mixing at least one fluid stream with a large gas stream, including the steps of: directing the large gas stream against at least one disk-shaped mixer element on an inlet or windward side thereof, wherein said at least one disk-shaped mixer element is inclined at an angle counter to the direction of flow of the large gas stream, and wherein eddy-type whirls are adapted to form at said at least one disk-shaped mixer element; providing a swirling device, wherein said swirling device has a fluid outlet that is provided with a rounded or curved configuration; admixing a swirled fluid stream swirled via said swirling device with the large gas stream downstream of said at least one disk-shaped mixer element, and guiding said swirled fluid stream essentially perpendicularly onto one side of said at least one disk-shaped mixer element, and essentially onto a center of said at least one disk-shaped mixer element, wherein on a discharge side a rotationally symmetrical flat, narrow fluid stream or jet is formed and is adapted to enter said eddy-type whirls of said large gas stream from said center along said discharge side.
