An apparatus for mixing fluids includes a housing which is mounted in line with a conduit carrying a primary fluid. A deformable member is mounted in the housing and an inlet conduit carrying a secondary fluid communicates with the deformable member. An adjustment knob adjusts the width of the deformable member, thereby adjusting the venturi effect created by the deformable member in the flow of primary fluid and adjusting the flow of secondary fluid which flows into the deformable member and is induced out of the deformable member through a plurality of holes to mix with the primary fluid. A system is provided with the fluid inductor apparatus and includes a sensor at the fluid outlet to generate a signal to control the geometric profile of the deformable member to adjust mixing of the fluids.

1. A fluid inductor system comprising:a housing comprising: a first inlet for a first fluid flow, a second inlet for a second fluid flow, a downstream outlet for an outlet flow; fluid inductor means disposed in said housing in communication with said first and second inlets and said downstream outlet, said fluid inductor means activable to induce said second fluid into said first fluid to provide a select fluid composition; sensor means in communication with said outlet flow for sensing fluid composition of said outlet flow and generating a signal representing said fluid composition; and control means in communication with said sensor means and said fluid inductor means for receiving said signal and controlling actuation of said fluid inductor means to provide said fluid composition.
