Turbine Agitator

Turbine Agitator operate at low speed and are much larger than propellers. Turbine has an excellent feature in designing the flow patter where a change in design can divert the flow pattern of fluid by radial flow or axial flow in the reactor vessel. Based on the configuration of the impeller blades these flow patterns can be achieved. Radial design make the fluid to flow at high velocity in radial direction where as axial impellers use pitched blades, make the fluid to flow parallel to shaft in downward direction and then push the fluid towards the wall of the agitator vessel. For gas dispersion operation radial turbine impeller is used and axial turbine impeller is used for chemical reactions, suspension solid and miscible liquid mixing.
