Abstract:
1. A fluid flow dividing manifold for dividing a flow of fluid having both liquid and gas phases, comprising: a first flow nozzle having a first inlet and a first outlet, said inlet connected to a supply of said fluid and said first outlet disposed for directing flow of said fluid in liquid and gaseous form in a first direction, from said first flow nozzle into a first mixing chamber; said first mixing chamber having a first sidewall, a first open end and a first closed end, said first sidewall extending adjacent to said first closed end, and wherein said first open end extends in opposed relation to said first outlet, with said first closed end spaced apart from said first outlet for engaging said flow of fluid discharged from said first outlet; a second flow nozzle having a second inlet and a second outlet, said second flow nozzle aligned in orthogonal relation to said first flow nozzle for directing said fluid to flow in a second direction which is transverse to said first direction, and from said second flow nozzle into a second mixing chamber; said second mixing chamber having a second sidewall, a second open end and a second closed end, said second sidewall extending adjacent to said second closed end, wherein said second open end extends in opposed relation to said second outlet, with said second closed end spaced apart from said second outlet for engaging said flow of fluid discharged from said second outlet; and a flow divider structure disposed about said second mixing chamber, said flow divider having a plurality of flow ports for passing said fluid from said second mixing chamber into a plurality of flow passages.
