The shape of the vortex induction housing 110 is a shape in which the upper part is opened and the lower part is closed, and can be variously modified and changed within a range recognized by those skilled in the art.

The vortex induction member 120 is mounted inside the vortex induction housing 110. Vortex induction member 120 blocks the flow of liquid and gas introduced into the vortex induction housing 110 to form a vortex, thereby widening the contact area of the gas to the liquid, thereby It is a structure that increases solubility. The vortex induction member 120 preferably includes a vortex forming part 121 and a blocking plate 122. In addition, the vortex induction member 120 is preferably made of a plurality in order to further increase the solubility of the gas in the liquid.

The blocking plate 122 is a member positioned inside the vortex induction housing 110 and closing the interior of the vortex induction housing 110. However, an opening 123 is formed in the blocking plate 122 such that gas and liquid supplied into the vortex induction housing 110 may move through the opening 123 to the upper portion of the vortex induction housing 110. Make sure

Moreover, in flowing liquid and gas through the plurality of vortex induction members 120 to the top of the vortex induction housing 110, the flow of liquid and gas from one vortex induction member to another vortex induction member installed thereon In order to facilitate, it is preferable that one side 122a of the blocking plate connected to the inner side 110a of the vortex induction housing 110 is positioned to have an upward inclination from the other side 122b of the blocking plate.

Furthermore, the blocking plate 122 is formed with a guide portion 125 protruding from the blocking plate 122 toward the upper portion of the vortex induction housing 110 around the opening 123, thereby forming an upper portion of the vortex induction housing 110.

As a result, the flow direction of the liquid and gas that is directed to the upper portion of the vortex induction housing 110 is switched, and the vortex phenomenon is generated inside the vortex forming unit 121 according to the change of the flow direction. By this vortex, the gas will increase the contact area of the gas to the liquid, thereby increasing the solubility of the gas in the liquid.

An opening 127 corresponding to the opening 123 of the blocking plate 122 is formed under the vortex forming part 121. Gas and liquid passing through the opening 123 of the blocking plate 122 are introduced into the vortex forming part 121 through the opening 127. In addition, the gas and liquid introduced into the vortex forming unit 121 are blocked at the inner upper portion of the vortex forming unit 121 and flow out to the blocking plate 122 through the opening 127.

Retention tank 130 includes at least one vortex induction housing 110. On one side of the retention tank 130 is formed an outlet 131 for flowing out the dissolved liquid dissolved gas in the liquid. The retention tank 130 guides the dissolution liquid from the open top of the vortex induction housing 110 to the outlet 131 and is a structure for receiving the dissolution liquid flowing out from the open top of the vortex induction housing 110. The dissolution liquid refers to a liquid in which a large amount of gas is dissolved in the liquid by the vortex induction member 120 inside the vortex induction housing 110. If the gas is carbon dioxide, the dissolved liquid will be oxygen water.

Referring to FIG. 1, the flow of gas and liquid introduced into the vortex induction housing 110 and the vortex formation accordingly will be described. The flow of liquids and gases proceeds along the arrows.

Gas and liquid are introduced into the lower portion of the vortex induction housing through the liquid supply pipe 111 and the gas supply pipe 112 communicated with the vortex induction housing 110.

As a result, vortices are formed inside the vortex forming unit 121. By the vortex, the liquid and the gas collide with the inner side 121a of the vortex forming part, and the contact area of the gas to the liquid is widened, so that the gas is easily dissolved in the liquid. This produces a dissolved liquid in which gas is dissolved in the liquid. The dissolved liquid and the remaining gas flow out of the vortex forming part 121 to the blocking plate 122 through the opening 127.

Subsequently, the flow direction of the molten liquid which has been directed to the lower portion of the vortex induction housing 110 along the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. 1 collides with the blocking plate 122, and the direction is changed to rise along the inclination of the blocking plate 122. Flow. Dissolution liquid rising along the inclination of the blocking plate 122 flows to the top of the vortex induction housing 110 via a space between the outer side 121b of the vortex forming portion and the inner side 110a of the vortex induction housing 110.

Meanwhile, in the present embodiment, a plurality of vortex induction members 120 are installed in the vortex induction housing 110 in the longitudinal direction of the vortex induction housing (ie, the flow direction of the fluid). By allowing the flow of liquid and gas to proceed continuously in the plurality of vortex induction members 120, solubility of the gas in the liquid can be increased.

The high concentration of dissolved liquid generated while passing through the plurality of vortex induction members 120 flows from the open top of the vortex induction housing 110 into the retention tank 130. Dissolved liquid and gas will stabilize their mixed state in the retention tank 130 as it moves from the open top of the vortex induction housing 110 to the outlet 131. The dissolved liquid is discharged through the outlet 131 located at one side of the retention tank 130.

In addition, the blocking plate 322 of the present embodiment is preferably positioned such that the other side 322b of the blocking plate connected to the inner side 310a of the vortex induction housing 310 has a downward slope from one side 322a of the blocking plate. . This is to facilitate the switching of the flow direction of the liquid and the gas, corresponding to the shape of the vortex forming part 321.

That is, the liquid and gas that flows toward the upper portion of the vortex induction housing 310 collide with the inside of the vortex forming unit 321, and the direction is changed to pass through the opening 327 along the inner slope of the vortex forming unit 321. The solution flows out to the blocking plate 322, which accelerates the flow rate of the dissolved liquid and gas flowing to the blocking plate 322, so that the dissolved liquid and gas flow into the space between the blocking plate 322 and the inside of the vortex induction housing 310a.
