ABSTRACT:
A vortex elimination device, suitable for insertion into a container of liquid, includes an upper end cap, a lower end cap, and a plurality of longitudinally extending vanes connecting the upper and lower end caps. Each of the plurality of vanes has first and second longitudinal edges extending between the upper and lower end caps. The vanes together define a treatment area where the first edge is proximate the treatment area and the second edge is distal from the treatment area. The first edge of each of the plurality of vanes terminates at an open space and is positioned at an angle where the angle is measured between each of the plurality of vane's centerline and a line drawn tangent to the upper and lower end caps where the second edge of each of the vanes and the upper and lower end caps connect. The plurality of vanes can be movably connected to the end caps to permit the angles for the plurality of vanes to be varied. A method of using the device to eliminate vortex action of a liquid and a method of mixing a liquid using the device are also provided.
