Definitions
- ABSTRACT A static element mixing tube is provided by employing opposed angularly disposed baffles of alternating hand which provides mixing action by re-positioning of the stream. Mixing action at flow rates below the turbulent level are generally independent of throughput.
- This invention relates to an interfacial surface generator and a method for the preparation of interfacial surface generators.
- interfacial surface generator is employed herein to describe a static mixing element through which a stream of liquid gas or particulate solids may be passed and the configuration of the generator is such that the stream is divided and recombined to provide mixing.
- Several varieties of such mixers are known and disclosed in the following U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,051,452; 3,051,453; 3,182,965; 3,195,865; 3,206,170; 3,239,197; 3,286,992; 3,328,003; 3,358,749; 3,394,924;
- interfacial surface generators are generally obtained by providing a baffle or stream-deflecting element of a specific configuration within a conduit or passageway. Frequently such interfacial surface generators require machine or block molding, casting or sheet fabrication to obtain baffles of the desired configuration.
- U.S. Pat. No. 3.358.749 and No. 3,394,924 disclose the preparation of interfacial surface generators by the deformation of tubes. Deformation of tubes most often is suitable for mixers employing low pressure and relatively small diameters. The preparation of mixers of large diameter has generally been limited to the insertion of preformed baffle sections such as are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,051,452 and the like. Often times when baffies are inserted within a conduit, substantial difficulty is encountered in securing the baffies in the desired position where access to the inside of the tube for fabrication purposes is not readily available.

- Such angular deviation for many applications is 90 but may vary between 30 to 160.
- the plate-like elements making up the baffle assembly be disposed at an angular relationship to both the longitudinal axis and to a plane normal to the longitudinal axis.
- the angular deviation of the linear edge such as the linear edges 21, 27, 34 and 38 usually is between about 30 and 70, and beneficially between about 35 and 55, the deviation being measured by the angular displacement of the linear edge to the longitudinal axis of the conduit.
- the greater the angular deviation the more baffie units per unit length may be formed and thus an increased number of mixing stages may be obtained.

- the lines designated by the reference numeral 61 represent the positioning of the linear edges of the second and fourth baffles of a mixer having the repeating pattern shown in FIG. 1 and the plate-like element configuration of FIG. 5, and the dotted line designated by the reference numeral 62 represents the edges of the plate-like elements forming third, fifth, seventh and like baffles.
