  • Patent number: 9650691
    Abstract: A quenching process for quenching a flowing first fluid with a flowing second fluid may involve a first hollow pipe for containing the flowing first fluid and a second hollow pipe for containing the flowing second fluid; dividing the flowing second fluid into a first baffle flow along a first side of a longitudinal baffle and a second baffle flow along a second side of the longitudinal baffle within the second hollow pipe; providing a transverse baffle protruding from the longitudinal baffle for directing the first baffle flow from a first baffle flow outlet and the second baffle flow from a second baffle flow outlet in the second hollow pipe and into the flowing first fluid in the first hollow pipe; and configuring an area of the first baffle flow outlet area to be greater than or equal to an area of the second baffle flow outlet area.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9487842
    Abstract: An injection system may include a first hollow pipe through which a first fluid flows and a second hollow pipe through which a second fluid flows, the first fluid for mixing into the second fluid. The second hollow pipe may reside through a wall of the first hollow pipe and have an opening near its end that is near a centerline of the first hollow pipe. A longitudinal baffle may reside within the second hollow pipe and together with the second hollow pipe, define a first and second baffle flow path within the second hollow pipe for the second fluid. A transverse baffle may be attached to the longitudinal baffle to protrude into the opening of the second hollow pipe. The transverse baffle divides the opening into a first baffle flow outlet and a second baffle flow outlet, for the first baffle flow path and the second baffle flow path.
