  • Patent number: 7665884
    Abstract: A mixing system should, while effecting a homogeneous mixing with a low loss of pressure, have a short intermixing distance. The mixing system contains mixing elements disposed in a flow channel and have mixing blades disposed around a respective central axis. Adjacent mixing blades each have an overlap in their plane of projection to the normal plane of the central axis. An injection location for supplying a reaction medium is connected upstream from some or all of the mixing elements. The injection location is dimensioned such that the reaction medium, at its discharge from the injection location, has a discharge velocity that is increased by an excess factor with regard to the flow medium inside the flow channel. The mixing elements are dimensioned such that the quotient of the degree of overlap of adjacent mixing blades (in percent) and of the excess factor ranges from 0.1 to 5.

  • Publication number: 20020162322
    Abstract: A reducing agent or an additive that releases an agent is often added to an exhaust gas from engines in order to chemically convert constituents, in particular nitrogen oxides, in the exhaust gas. To achieve intimate mixing of the exhaust gas with the reducing agent or additive over a short section of the gas duct, at least one mixer and at least one nozzle for introducing the additive into the exhaust gas are structurally and functionally combined with one another.

  • Patent number: 6189320
    Abstract: A burner, in particular for a gas turbine, in which combustion air is subjected to a vorticity by a vortex element, admits fuel to the vortical combustion air. At the same time, a pressure loss produced by the vortex element is small. A low NOx emission at virtually the same efficiency is achieved.
