METHOD OF MIXING FLUIDS AND GASES AND STATIC MIXER TO THIS END Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC B01F5/00 

FIELD: process engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to chemical and light industry, etc, for mixing various resins, lacquers and gases. Proposed method comprises feeding processed medium into static mixer and discharging it therefrom via appropriate pipes, dividing processed medium into jets at forcing it through swirlers with orifices and swirling it by swirlers without through orifices. Prior to said division into jets, medium components are uniformly distributed and combined over larger area in uniform clearance formed by pipe for feed of one component and static mixer wall. Jet swirling is additionally performed due to counter collision in static mixer intensive mixing compartment. Static mixer comprises cylindrical housing with medium feed and discharge pipes and swirlers. Some of said swirlers have through orifices. Note here that swirlers without orifices are arranged downstream those with through orifices. One of medium feed pipes forms uniform clearance with cylindrical housing wall and has distribution holes over its periphery. End of said pipe is stopped by plug whereat cylindrical jacket is secured. Cylindrical housing outer surface accommodates lock ring of OD equal to ID of said housing. Said rings and housing walls and jacket walls make the compartments of tangential mixing. Lock discs are arranged between lock rings inside cylindrical jacket, disc diameters being equal to cylindrical jacket ID.

EFFECT: higher quality of mixing, simplified design.
