Definitions
- the present invention relates to an arrangement and method for
- two (or more) dissimilar streams of material for example, two air streams at
- the structure of these arrangements typically includes a first air
- deflector In an alternative prior art arrangement, deflector
- vanes are inserted downstream of the injection jet to induce counter rotational
- streams of material may be used.
- streams of material for example, two air streams at different temperatures
- a tapered baffle is disposed
- duct is configured to comprise parallel and spaced-apart walls forming the floor
- the input port for the second stream is inserted through
- the floor of the duct and the baffle is tapered in a manner such that the widest part of the baffle is nearest the input port, narrowing across the width of the
- a first air stream (e.g., low
- a second air stream e.g., high
- the baffle results in creating a low pressure area along the face of the baffle
- a baffle may be
- baffle configured to as to include a gap area across the bottom edge of the baffle, near
- the gap allows for a stream of the low
- the homogeneous air stream is formed by a combination of low temperature air and high temperature air utilizing a baffle interposed between the air streams.
- a non-tapered baffle may be utilized to provide for the combination of two or more streams of material.
- a non-tapered baffle may be used in situations where a first, high velocity stream is to be combined with a second, low velocity stream.
- the input port of the low velocity stream could become strained, thus misdirecting the flow of low velocity material across the floor of the duct, resulting in inefficient mixing.
- a baffle configured as a non-tapered plate functions to shield the input port from the path of the high velocity stream.
- the low velocity material is able to extend across the width of the duct, resulting in more efficient mixing downstream.
- a plurality of dissimilar streams may be combined to form one, homogeneous stream by utilizing a plurality of separate baffles, each baffle being disposed upstream of one of a plurality of input ports.
- the plurality of input ports may be disposed in any desired location with respect to the enclosure.
- the ports may be positioned along the length of the enclosure or, alternatively, may be positioned across the width of the enclosure.
- the baffle may comprise a solid
- piece of material or, alternatively, may include one or more perforations.

- Figure 9 contains a side view of the arrangement of Figure 8, taken along line 9-9 of Figure 8; and Figure 10 is a graph illustrating the results achieved utilizing the arrangement of the present invention as compared with a prior art arrangement, in particular, the improvement in temperature "mixing" achieved when combining low temperature air with high temperature air.
- Figure 1 illustrates an exemplary mixing arrangement 10 of the present invention. As shown, the arrangement comprises a tapered baffle 12 disposed
- baffle 12 in a duct 14 such that widest edge 16 of baffle 12 is in proximity with bottom wall 18 of duct 14. Baffle 12 then tapers into a point 20 in the proximity of top wall 22 of duct 14. It is to be understood that while duct 14 of this embodiment is illustrated as comprising a rectangular cross-section, any suitable enclosure of any predetermined geometry may be utilized. Additionally, the geometry of baffle 12 may differ in particular circumstances. For the arrangement of Figure 1 , baffle 12 is illustrated as comprising a conic section. Other tapered or non-tapered configurations may be utilized and fall within the spirit and scope of the present invention.
- Input port 24 protrudes through bottom wall 18 of duct 14 and is located downstream (with respect to the direction of the flow through duct 14) of baffle 12.
- the distance d between the center of input port 24 and baffle 12 (shown in Figure 2), is a matter of design, and provides either greater or lesser air pressure in the area therebetween, as a function of separation dL
- a first gas stream Gi is traveling along the length i of duct 14.
- Gas stream G may comprise oxygen, nitrogen, stream, air, or any other gaseous stream.
- a second gas stream G 2 travels through tubing 26 and is introduced into duct 14 via input port 24.
- the flow of first gas stream G past tapered baffle 12 creates a cavity of low pressure on the downstream side 28 of baffle 12.
- the path of second gas stream G 2 as shown in Figure 1 , thus enters the low pressure area.
- Figure 2 illustrates a side view of the arrangement described above in
- baffle 1 2 is sized such that top point 20 does not
- FIG. 1 illustrates a top view in perspective of the mixing arrangement of Figure 1 .
- sidewall 34 of baffle 1 2 is formed to comprise an arc of radius r, where
- This environment is suitable for treating light-weight,
- soft paper products including those having a basis weight of less than 5 and
- mixing arrangement 50 is greater than 200 grams per square meter.
- baffle 52 disposed in a conduit (or similar enclosure) 54, where
- baffle 52 is located upstream (with respect to the direction of flow through
- conduit 54 a predetermined distance d (illustrated in Figure 5) from an input
- conduit 54 length of conduit 54 and impinges upon baffle 52 so as to create a low pressure
- baffle 52 includes a lower gap area formed by displacing
- baffle 52 a predetermined gap distance g. (illustrated in
- perforations should be limited so as to not disrupt the low pressure region
- Another feature of this particular embodiment is
- a particular advantage associated with this arrangement is that the injection point of stream A H , GH will remain above the flow path of A L0W . Therefore, the passage of stream A L0W will not disrupt stream A H
- Figure 6 illustrates a top view of arrangement 50.
- tapered baffle 52 includes a triangular geometry and comprises a pair of sidewalls 62 and 64 displaced by a predetermined angle ⁇ .
- Low temperature air stream A L0W travels past baffle 52 so as to create a low pressure region 66 between input port 56 and baffle 52. Therefore, high temperature air stream A H , GH will naturally enter this low pressure cavity and effectively mix with stream A L0W to form output air stream A M , X .
- Figure 7 contains a perspective view of the arrangement of Figure 5, taken along line 7-7.
- Figure 7-7 contains the gap area 55 between baffle and lower surface 60 of conduit 54.
- only small leg portions 57,59 of baffle 52 are in contact with surface 60 (for stability purposes), allowing for a steady stream of A L0W to pass through gap area 55 and provide cooling to baffle 52.
- FIG. 8 illustrates one such arrangement of the present invention that is particularly well-suited for this purpose. Additionally, Figure 8 illustrates an arrangement including a pair of baffles and associated input ports since, as discussed earlier, the technique of the present invention may be extended to provide for the combining of any number of dissimilar materials. Indeed,
- the multiple baffle/port arrangements may be disposed in any desired
- arrangement 70 includes a first baffle
- baffle plate 72 and a second baffle plate 74, each baffle plate being disposed to
- V H for example, a clear liquid
- V L1 (for example, an emulsifier) is introduced into enclosure 76 via a
- an emulsifier of a different composition and/or velocity is introduced
- each input port is located a predetermined distance
- arrangement 70 allows for the formation of low pressure areas
- the low pressure areas allow for low velocity
- structure of the present invention may be formed as a multiple unit structure
- a second baffle section 82 may be attached to the top portion of
- first baffle plate 72 where second section 82 would allow for the baffle
- baffle size and shape may be adjusted, over time, to
- Figure 9 contains a cut-away side view of arrangement 70 of Figure 8,
- first input port 78 causes first input port 78 to bend, as shown in phantom in Figure 9.
