FLUID MIXER AND POWER CONSUMPTION IN AGITATED VESSEL APPARATUS

Product Description

For a processing vessel to beeffective the volume of fluid circulated by the impellers must be sufficient tosweep out the entire vessel in a reasonable time. The velocity of the streamleaving the impeller must be sufficient to carry the current to the remotestparts of the tank. Liquids are most often mixed in some kind of tanks orvessels, usually cylindrical in form and with a vertical axis.

Tank bottom is rounded toeliminate regions into which the fluid currents would not penetrate. In thepresent set-up mixing is done with the help of stirrer. The stirrer is completewith SS Impeller with SS Shaft coupled to FHP DC motor. The speed of agitatorcan be varied with the help of Thyristor controlled DC Drive and powerconsumption is measured by Digital Voltmeter & Digital Ammeter.

Four replaceable baffles areprovided to prevent swirling. One 4-bladded propeller and one 6- bladdedturbine are provided which are interchangeable. Drain valve is also provided atthe bottom. Effectiveness of power consumption in fluid mixing can be performedwith and without baffles hence increasing the range of experimentation. Thewhole set-up is mounted on a rigid MS frame structure.
