  • Patent number: 4313680
    Abstract: A reactor for mixing fluid components at relatively low flow rates wherein the components have a very short reaction time. The reactor comprises a plurality of spaced-apart, flow-converging members for directing the flow of fluid components along the central axis of the reaction chamber. The reactor further includes a flow-deflecting element arranged downstream of each flow-converging member to divide and direct and the body of fluid flow at right angles from the central axis of the reaction chamber.
