ABSTRACT:
The instant invention relates to an apparatus and method for dividing a flowing multi-phase fluid to provide at least two separate fluid streams wherein each fluid stream has substantially the same ratio of phases. This apparatus and method are especially useful for dividing a fluid having a gaseous and a liquid phase e.g. ammonia, to provide at least two separate fluid streams wherein each fluid stream has about the same weight ratio of liquid phase to gaseous phase. The apparatus includes a fluid inlet chamber in fluid communication with at least two separate fluid outlet chambers through a plurality of fluid conduits. Each of the fluid conduits has a fluid conduit inlet opening communicating with the fluid inlet chamber and a fluid outlet opening communicating with one of the fluid outlet chambers. The fluid conduit inlet openings are arrayed in a plurality of groups, wherein each group has at least two members, and the fluid conduits are adapted to provide that each fluid outlet chamber is in fluid communication with only one member of each group of fluid conduit inlet openings. This apparatus and method may be used for distributing equal amounts of ammonia as a mixture of ammonia vapor and ammonia liquid, to the soil. A system for distributing ammonia to the soil which includes the apparatus is also disclosed.
