Abstract (en)
A homogenisation device (10) which is in particular suitable to homogenise a temperature distribution in a fluid stream exiting a heat exchanger comprises a body (12) with a fluid flow passage (14) extending therethrough. The homogenisation device (10) further comprises a flow control device (20) which is disposed in the fluid flow passage (14) and which is configured to induce a swirl (S) in an outer layer (32) of a fluid stream flowing through the fluid flow passage (14), while the flow characteristics of a core layer (34) of the fluid stream remain substantially unaffected by the flow control device (20).
