Abstract
An apparatus for mixing a first fluid into a second fluid that comprises a housing (1) having a flow chamber (39) for the second fluid, a flow restrictor member (6) in the flow chamber, and holes (18) for introducing the first fluid into at least one gap (15, 16) between the flow restrictor member and those walls (5, 10) of the flow chamber (39) facing towards the flow restrictor member. The flow restrictor member and flow chamber, in a plane transversely to the principal flow direction (31) of the second fluid, each has the shape of a wedge. Gaps (15, 16) are formed between each of those two sides of the flow restrictor member that converge in a wedge shape and those walls of the wedge-shaped chamber facing towards the flow restrictor member. The holes (18) for introducing the first fluid are disposed in the region of the gaps (15, 16).
