Abstract:
A flow shifter baffle for mixing a fluid flow having at least two components, a static mixer, and method of mixing are described. The flow shifter baffle includes a double divider wall element adjacent to a leading edge and a plurality of occluding walls coupled to the double divider wall element. The double divider wall element includes first and second generally parallel walls which extend across the entire transverse flow cross-section. The double divider wall element is configured to divide the fluid flow into a central flow portion and first and second peripheral flow portions. This division of the fluid flow using the double divider wall element and the plurality of occluding walls improves the mixing of separate components by producing a greater number of layers with less jumbling of the layers, when a layered composition of multiple components is delivered into the flow shifter baffle.

Claim (Index 3):
The method of  claim 2 , wherein the plurality of occluding walls further comprise first, second, third, and fourth occluding walls, and shifting the first and second peripheral flow portions further comprises:\n shifting the first peripheral flow portion upwardly using the first occluding wall located in a lower left quadrant, and then shifting the first peripheral flow portion downwardly using the second occluding wall located in an upper left quadrant along the first side of the dividing panel; and shifting the second peripheral flow portion downwardly using the third occluding wall located on an upper right quadrant, and then shifting the second peripheral flow portion upwardly using the fourth occluding wall located in a lower right quadrant along the second side of the dividing panel.
