Multi chamber mixing manifold

1. A mixing chamber comprising:

(a) a body, the body having first and second body ends, an exterior wall with an interior having first and second chambers, and a plurality of inputs and at least one output;

(b) the first chamber and second chamber being fluidly connected to each other;

(c) a dividing structure that separates the first and second chambers,

the dividing structure including

a first plate having

first and second first plate side edges

that each connect to the exterior wall

first and second first plate end portions,

the first first plate end portion

 connecting to the first body end,

a second plate connected

to the exterior wall and

to the second first plate end portion

at a position spaced in between the first and second body ends;

(d) the plurality of inputs entering the first chamber and the at least one output exiting from the second chamber, and

(e) the plurality of inputs being directed towards each other.

2. The mixing chamber of claim 1 , wherein the inputs are angled towards each other.

3. The mixing chamber of claim 2 , wherein angles formed by the inputs relative to the exterior wall of the chamber are selected from the group consisting of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 25, 26, 28, 30, 32, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, and 90 degrees relative to a perpendicular from the exterior wall of the chamber.

4. A mixing chamber comprising:

(a) an elongated body forming a housing with a cross section having an upstream end portion and a downstream end portion and a wall surrounding an interior;

(b) the interior having a dividing structure that divides the interior into primary and secondary chambers;

(c) the dividing structure including a first plate that connects to the wall at a position in between the upstream and downstream end portions, the first plate extending over only a part of the cross section of the housing;

(d) the dividing structure including a second plate having second plate edges and second plate end portions, said edges connecting to the wall, one said end portion connecting to said upstream end portion, wherein said second plate extends from one end portion of the housing a partial distance of the housing length and connecting with the first plate at a said first plate end portion;

(e) a first mixing chamber formed by the first plate, the second plate, and a portion of the wall, the first mixing chamber extending only a partial distance along the length of the body;

(f) a second mixing chamber that is longer than the first mixing chamber, the second mixing chamber having a portion that contacts the first plate;

(g) multiple inlets through the wall that enable fluid to be added to the first mixing chamber;

(h) one or more outlets in the wall that enable fluid discharge from the second chamber; and

(i) a flow path gate that extends through the dividing structure and that enables fluid flow from the first chamber to the second chamber.

5. The mixing chamber of claim 4 wherein some of the inlets are on opposing sides of the flow path gate.

6. The mixing chamber of claim 4 wherein the flow path gate is in between two of said inlets.

7. The mixing chamber of claim 4 wherein the second plate is positioned in the middle of the elongated body.

8. The mixing chamber of claim 4 wherein there are outlets on the upstream side of the second plate.

9. The mixing chamber of claim 5 wherein some of the outlets are in between the second plate and one of the inlets.

10. The mixing chamber of claim 1 wherein one or more of the outlets are in between the second plate and the flow path gate.

11. The mixing chamber of claim 1 wherein there are one or more baffles next to the flow path gate.

12. The mixing chamber of claim 4 wherein all of the inlets are between the second plate and the first end portion of the elongated body.

13. The mixing chamber of claim 4 wherein some of the inlets include an elbow shaped fitting.

14. The mixing chamber of claim 5 wherein some of the inlets include an elbow shaped fitting.

15. The mixing chamber of claim 4 wherein a majority of the inlets are in between the second plate and the second end portion of the elongated body.

16. The mixing chamber of claim 11 wherein a first set of one or more baffles extend above the flow path gate and a second set of one or more baffles extend below the second plate.

17. The mixing chamber of claim 4 wherein the multiple inlets include at least one elbow shaped fitting that discharges flow toward the flow path gate.

18. The mixing chamber of claim 17 wherein the multiple inlets include multiple elbow shaped fittings that discharge flow toward the flow path gate.
