Claims
- 1. A device for solubilizing a gaseous substance into a fluid comprising the following components in combination:at least one first pipe section (1) having a first circular cross-section and convergent at an end thereof downstream from said first cross-section; a second pipe section (2), with a circular cross section smaller than said first cross-section of said pipe section (1), coaxial and integral thereto; a third pipe section (3) divergent for the entire length thereof, coaxial to the second pipe section (2), of a circular cross section intermediate between the first cross-section and the cross-section of the second pipe section, the second and the third pipe section being separated by a mixing chamber (4) provided with means (5) and (6), substantially slanted of a ≦90° angle with respect to the axis of the pipe section (2), for the inlet and the adjustment of the gaseous substance to be admixed to the fluid, respectively, and the ratio between the outlet cross section of the second pipe section (2) and the inlet cross section of the third pipe section (3) being in the range 0.5-0.9.
- 2. The device for solubilizing a gaseous substance into a fluid according to claim 1, wherein the means (5) and (6) for the inlet and the adjustment of the gaseous substance to be admixed to the fluid are slanted at an acute angle in the range 30-60° with respect to the axis of the pipe section (2).
- 3. The device for solubilizing a gaseous substance into a fluid according to claim 1 or claim 2, wherein the means (6) for the adjustment of the inlet of the gas to be admixed to the fluid are selected from the group consisting of at least one gauged hole and at least one fine adjusting valve.
- 4. The device for solubilizing of a gaseous substance into a fluid according to claim 1 or claim 2, wherein the means (6) for the adjustment of the inlet of the gas to be admixed to the fluid consist of a plurality of gauged holes or of fine adjusting valves, with cross-sections of the same or different sizes.
- 5. A system for solubilizing a gaseous substance into a fluid comprising a plurality of devices according to claim 1 or claim 2, connected together in parallel.
- 6. The system of claim 5 wherein said devices connected in parallel have the same or different capacities.
- 7. A system for solubilizing a gaseous substance into a fluid comprising a plurality of devices according to claim 3, connected together in parallel.
- 8. In a method of solubilizing a gaseous substance into a fluid using a device for passing the gaseous substance as a gas or vapor into the fluid, the improvement whereinsaid device is the device of claim 1 or claim 2.
