Abstract: A fan assembly includes a fan body, a motor-driven impeller contained within the fan body and arranged to generate an air flow, a nozzle including a nozzle body having an air inlet arranged to receive the air flow from the fan body, and one or more air outlets arranged to emit the airflow from the fan assembly. The fan assembly further includes a nozzle retaining mechanism for releasably retaining the nozzle on the fan body, and a rotation mechanism for rotating the nozzle body relative to the fan body. The nozzle rotation mechanism includes a rotation motor arranged to drive a drive member and a driven member that is arranged to be driven by the drive member to rotate around a rotation axis.

Abstract: A mixing apparatus in the form of an aerator for location within a body of water to be remediated by oxygenating the water, including an inlet through which water is pumped into the aerator, the inlet includes a branched distributor in which the inlet divides into four equal branches for forming four equal flow paths for the water. Each of the four equal pathways is provided with an air injector in the form of a venturi for introducing air into the water flow path in order to aerate the water. The advantage of the aerator is that the distributor is designed to have balanced flow so that equal flows of water pass through each flow path to introduce equal volumes of air, which increases the efficiency of the aerator. Forms of the aerator can have two or more distributors in which all individual flow paths are substantially equal to improve the efficiency of the aerator.
