  • Publication number: 20140232020
    Abstract: An improved venturi apparatus for facilitating the mixture of fluid substances. The apparatus comprises a first funnel section operative to receive a fluid and channel the same through a first cylindrical section or passageway. The first cylindrical section is fluidly connected to an intermediate passageway having a diameter larger than the first cylindrical section. At least one sidearm passageway is fluidly connected to the intermediate passageway into which at least one second fluid is introduced. The sidearm passageway is preferably configured to fluidly interconnect with the intermediate passageway at approximately the medial portion of the intermediate passageway. Fluidly connected to the intermediate passageway is a second cylindrical section operative to direct the flow of the intermixed fluids to a second exit funnel section.

  • Patent number: 8733742
    Abstract: A venturi apparatus comprises: a liquid-receiving section configured to be open to the atmosphere and to receive liquid through an opening at a first end, and having a second end through which the liquid can exit, the second end having a second cross-sectional area that is smaller than a first cross-sectional area of the first end; and a mixing section defining: an intermediate passageway configured to receive the liquid exiting from the liquid-receiving section, the intermediate passageway having a third cross-sectional area that is greater than the second cross-sectional area; and at least one side passageway extending from the intermediate passageway to a perimeter of the venturi apparatus to fluidly connect the intermediate passageway to the atmosphere to allow atmospheric gases to be drawn into the intermediate passageway to mix with the liquid when the liquid flows through the intermediate passageway.

  • Publication number: 20120224451
    Abstract: A Venturi apparatus includes: a body defining a receptacle chamber configured to receive a first fluid, a transition passageway in fluid communication with the receptacle chamber and configured to receive the first fluid from the receptacle chamber, a mixing chamber in fluid communication with the transition passageway and configured to receive the first fluid from the transition passageway, and a sidearm passageway in fluid communication with the mixing chamber and extending to an outer surface of the body and configured to allow a second fluid to pass from an exterior of the into the mixing chamber; and a fluid flow regulator connected to the body, configured to affect a flow of the first fluid from the receptacle chamber into the mixing chamber, and including a valve mechanism configured to selectively engage the body to inhibit flow of the first fluid from the receptacle chamber into the mixing chamber.
