The Centec Vortex injector is a hydrodynamic nozzle for the injection and dispersion of gases into liquids. There is a large number of applications that require e.g. O₂, CO₂ or N₂ to be quickly and homogeneously added to beverages, wort, water or other types of cold or hot liquids. To always achieve optimal results, each Vortex injector is specifically designed according to the application duty and the products involved. Due to the design of the nozzle, the liquid is accelerated to reach a critical velocity before it enters the swirl chamber. Inside this chamber the gas is injected perpendicular to the product flow – sometimes from several directions. Due to high turbulence in the swirl chamber, the fine gas bubbles mix quickly and homogeneously with the product. The efficiency of the Vortex technology minimizes the size of the Carbonation units e.g. for adding pressurized carbon dioxide to beer, soft drinks and sparkling water. For instant and automatic adjustment of the gas flow, each skid can be designed to include a process control system, a dosing control valve and a highly reliable CARBOTEC or OXYTRANS sensor installed at the outlet, to monitor the product and to provide control feedback.
