Abstract
The apparatus is used for adding a first fluid to a second fluid. The apparatus has a tube-shaped element. The tube-shaped element has a flow-through channel defined therein for carrying the flow of the second fluid. The flow-through channel has, a substantially constant first cross-sectional area and maintains a first pressure. The apparatus has a chamber defined therein that extends about the tube-shaped element and along a length of the tube-shaped element. The chamber maintaining a second pressure that is greater than the first pressure. A connection supplies the first fluid to the chamber. The tube-shaped element has a plurality of openings defined therein. The openings are disposed adjacent to the chamber so that the first fluid flows through the openings into the second fluid flowing inside the tube-shaped element. A second conduit is attached to the tube-shaped element and directly downstream thereof. The second conduit has a second cross-sectional area that is greater than the first cross-sectional area.
