Sealed Cyclone Mixing Tank for Dilute Solution Blending
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mixing methods for highly concentrated solutions often result in adverse effects such as toxic gas production and supersaturated conditions, as they involve adding high concentration solutions directly to diluting liquids or mixing undiluted solutions, leading to detrimental reactions.
Innovation Solution
A mixing apparatus and method that dilutes both solutions with a diluting liquid before mixing them in a sealed cyclone tank, preventing the introduction of high concentration solutions and ensuring both are mixed in a diluted state, utilizing cyclone mixing tanks and ejector pumps to achieve uniform mixing and prevent gas buildup.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If high concentration solutions are added sequentially to diluting liquid, then mixing is simple and fast, but toxic gas is generated and adverse reactions occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by diluting both solutions before mixing them together. The first solution is diluted with diluting liquid in a first diluter, and the second solution is diluted with diluting liquid in a second diluter. This preliminary dilution prevents the generation of toxic gas during the subsequent mixing process, while still maintaining efficient mixing through the use of multiple diluters and a mixing tank.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If one solution is diluted before mixing, then some adverse effects are reduced, but high concentration solution mixing still causes detrimental effects
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the mixing process into separate dilution stages. Instead of mixing one diluted solution with a concentrated solution, the system segments the process so that both solutions are independently diluted in separate diluters (first diluter and second diluter), and then the two diluted solutions are mixed in a mixing tank. This segmentation ensures that neither solution is in high concentration during mixing, preventing supersaturated conditions and crystallization.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If both solutions are diluted before mixing, then adverse effects are eliminated, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses diluting liquid as an intermediary substance that facilitates the dilution of both solutions. The diluting liquid acts as a mediator between the concentrated solutions and the final mixed product. By introducing this intermediary, the system can dilute both solutions safely without direct contact between high concentration solutions, eliminating adverse effects while managing device complexity through the use of standard diluter and mixing tank components.
