  • Publication number: 20240139692
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are beverage aerator devices that include a body that has a top surface and a bottom surface. At least one choke extends through the body and has a choke inlet at the bottom surface of the body and a choke outlet at the top surface of the body. A pressure exchange extends through the body and has a pressure exchange outlet at the top surface of the body. A pressure exchange tube is in fluid communication with the pressure exchange and has a pressure exchange inlet distal from the bottom surface of the body.

  • Patent number: 11701625
    Abstract: The instant invention includes a multiple-Venturi nozzle. The instant multiple-Venturi nozzle has a generally cylindrical body with a generally flat bottom surface and a generally flat distal outer surface and a generally arcuate vertical surface parallel to the bottom and outer surfaces. The instant multiple-Venturi nozzle further includes a plurality of chokes generally perpendicular to the bottom and outer surfaces, each of said chokes extending through the body and having a choke inlet and a choke outlet. The instant multiple-Venturi nozzle further includes a manifold extending from the outer surface partially into the body and a plurality of manifold channels connecting the manifold to each choke, each of said manifold channels being generally perpendicular to a corresponding choke, having a manifold outlet and a distal manifold inlet and being offset in a helical distribution from other manifold outlets corresponding to the same choke.
