ABSTRACT:
A fluid distributor for distributing a fluid into a plurality of flow paths. Each flow path can be individually opened or closed without disturbing the flow of liquid in the other paths. The distributor comprises a plurality of cells, each of which includes an intake orifice which is in fluid communication with a discharge conduit from which the fluid flows for subsequent use and an evacuator conduit from which the fluid flows for eventual recycle to the intake orifice. An obturator is provided which, in one position, stops flow from the intake orifice to the discharge orifice while permitting flow from the intake orifice to the evacuation orifice and which, in its other operative position, stops flow from the intake orifice to the evacuation orifice while permitting flow from the intake orifice to the discharge orifice. Each cell includes valve means to adjust the flow to the evacuation conduit to be the same as that to the discharge conduit. A fluid distributor is made up of a plurality of these cells with the intake orifices in fluid communication. For any given flow to the distributor, the fluid flow through any given discharge conduit is the same irrespective of whether any or all of the other discharge conduits are open or closed since, in either event, the fluid flowing from each intake orifice in each cell is the same irrespective of whether it is to a discharge conduit in that cell or to an evacuation conduit therein.
