SWIRLING EMULSIFIER Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC B01F5/00 B01F3/08 

FIELD: process engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to making of fine dispersions in fluid-fluid systems. This emulsifier comprises vortex tube with two tangential pipes. Said tube is composed of cylinder its length being equal to its ten IDs. One of said pipe serves to feed the first component and is arranged at 20-30 degrees to horizontal line while second pipe discharges finished emulsion and is arranged nearby vortex tube lower end, Second component feed pipe is arranged coaxially in vortex tube nearby its lower end for axial displacement while spacing from second component feed pipe end to vortex pipe upper end makes 0.25-1 of second component feed pipe ID. Finished emulsion pipe features ID equal to half the vortex pipe ID, second component feed pipe has inner radius equal to first component feed pipe ID.

EFFECT: lower fluid pressure losses, increased cavitation zone, ruled out dead zones.
