How
homogenization is achieved

Residual
Fuel Oil is pumped and passed in between the cross-wise
(patented) designed,
grooved turbine blades of the stator
and rotor. The Rotor rotates at 3000 – 3500
rpm. The
clearance gap is 50 microns.
Residual Fuel is thus subjected to
severe hydrodynamic forces (shearing,
friction, pressure and
acceleration ) and
Ultrasonic waves at very high 5000 ~ 7000
kHz frequencies. These adverse conditions caused the
inhomogeneous, unbalanced
and large Residual Fuel Oil
molecules to break down into fine, balanced, and
homogenous improved structure.
A single
inhomogeneous Residual Fuel Oil with
an average 70microns
size breaks down to approximately 12,000 homogeneous
particle size of 3microns. The gross surface area
increased by approximately 23
times.
When a common droplet is accelerated it alters to a
stretched droplet. When this accelerated and stretched
droplet will be affected
by additional shearing forces it
will be divided into numerous smaller droplets.
Each fuel
particle will be affected this way several times during a CD™
passage.
Results
In general a
common droplet of 70µ has
a specific volume of
approximately 180,000µ³ with a total surface of
approximately 15,400µ². A 3 µ droplet divided has a
specific volume of
approximately 14µ³ with a total surface
of 28µ. Now the partition of one 70 µ
droplet results in
approximately 12,960 droplets of 3 µ size.
