LIQUID SATURATOR Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: saturation of liquid media; chemical petrochemical and food-processing industries. SUBSTANCE: device has housing with liquid and gas supply branch pipes and multi-passage gas distributor with liquid disperser arranged in this housing. Disperser consists of two members with calibrated orifices. These members are connected in parallel with liquid supply branch pipe. Holes of one member are located at angle relative to holes of other member. Angle between holes may vary to magnitude of 90 deg. One member is oriented by its holes perpendicularly relative to passages of gas distributor; other member may be oriented by its holes both along passages of gas distributor and opposite them. Housing may be additionally provided with mixture turbulators made in form of grid and helical guide. EFFECT: reduction of time required for change of gas into liquid due to forming finely-dispersed liquid medium and homogeneous mixture of liquid with working gas; enhanced efficiency of saturation; continuity of process. 3 cl, 2 dwg
