Abstract
Abstract A fluid mixing apparatus is provided in which pressure plates and collection plates are stacked alternately, with cavities between, the pressure plates each having an annular band of fine flow holes while the collection plates each have one or a small number of comparatively large flow-holes eccentrically disposed in relation to the center of the plate. The cavities between the plates can be provided by depressions formed in both faces of each collection plate. The pressure plates can each advantageously comprise a mesh or screen structure to provide the fine flow-holes.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
123 words
A fluid mixing apparatus wherein inside a cylindrical body are stacked pressure plates, having many tiny flow holes distributed around each plate, alternating with collection plates, having through-holes for fluid flow that are large in comparison to the tiny holes in the pressure plates, with cavities provided between the plates of the two types, characterised in that said holes in said pressure plates have a diameter in the range of 0.1 to 0.3 mm, each collection plate has one or more of said comparatively large flow holes at a location or locations that are eccentrically disposed with respect to the centre of the plate, and none of said holes in said pressure plates are axially aligned with said holes in said collection plates.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
123 words
A fluid mixing apparatus wherein inside a cylindrical body are stacked pressure plates, having many tiny flow holes distributed around each plate, alternating with collection plates, having through-holes for fluid flow that are large in comparison to the tiny holes in the pressure plates, with cavities provided between the plates of the two types, characterised in that said holes in said pressure plates have a diameter in the range of 0.1 to 0.3 mm, each collection plate has one or more of said comparatively large flow holes at a location or locations that are eccentrically disposed with respect to the centre of the plate, and none of said holes in said pressure plates are axially aligned with said holes in said collection plates.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the cavities between the plates are formed by concave depressions in the plates of one type.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
18 words
An apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the depressions formed are in both faces of the collection plates.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
29 words
An apparatus according to any preceding claim, wherein the collection plates are randomly angularly orientated so that the eccentric flow-holes in successive plates are not aligned with one another.
