A device for water saturation by gas using enhanced air-water interaction is studied experimentally. The flow of gas and water in the device is organized in a way providing efficient gas dispersion into fine bubbles at relatively low gas and liquid supply pressures. It permits water oxygenation to be improved and the aeration expenses to be reduced as compared with existing aerators. The setup for experimental study of the device and the measurement procedure are described. The data obtained confirm efficiency of the proposed aerator for water oxygenation.
