Jacoby-Tarbox In-Tank Eductors, Tank Liquid Agitators (TLAs)
Jacoby-Tarbox In-Tank Eductors are designed for “in-tank” applications, Tank Liquid Agitators (TLAs), efficiently use the supplied energy for mixing, blending, heating, aeration, or solid suspension as required. The TLA operates on the principle of flow dynamics. Pressurized fluid is accelerated through the nozzle to become a high velocity stream that entrains tank contents and intimately mixes with them. This combined stream exits the TLA at a high velocity creating a flow field capable of causing additional agitation and mixing the tank contents.
Features
- Computer optimized flow paths enable TLA to maintain a high "pick-up ratio" while maximizing the hydraulic efficiency to generate an optimum flow field from the greatest flow amplification
- Optimum flow field enables more activity within the tank than competitive units without changing pumps
- Can be used in a wide variety of open vessels or closed tanks
- "In-tank" mounting eliminates need for costly, complex mounting structures above tanks
- No moving parts in the eductor, minimizing maintenance expenses
- Eliminates stratification and promotes a homogenous tank with relation to pH, temperature, solids or gas dispersion, and distribution of chemicals
- Produces a unique agitation not available with other types of mixers
- Easily mixes liquids of differing specific gravities and it is excellent for scrubbing applications where a lower specific gravity fluid is driven into the higher one
- Flow amplification due to high "pick-up ration" and hydraulic efficiency permits the use of smaller pumps, which translates to reduced costs of mixing or agitation
- Reduces investment cost
- Excellent for heating tank contents in steam applications
Applications
- Liquid: Rinsing windows, remove build up
- Gas: Blow off powders, purge window, cooling & warming, defogging, condensation removal
