ABSTRACT:
An intermeshing passage manifold is a device for subdividing each of two passages of ducts connected to it into multiple adjacent separate intermeshed passages. The intermeshing passage manifold is to be used for heat exchangers and fluid mixing devices in order to minimize pressure (energy) losses and to satisfy geometric constraints in many applications. The intermeshing passage manifold consists of a number of manifold sections adjacent in an end-to-end manner. Each of the manifold sections consists of a number of passage modules adjacent in a side-by-side manner. Each passage module consists of two passages; the orientation of these passages at one end of a module is at right angles to the orientation of the passages at the other end of the module, however, the cross-section shape of the module remains the same throughout its length. The change in orientation of the passages within the passage module is effected by means of a flowguide partition which is a multiplanar and/or contoured partition bound by six lines, each of these lines lying in one of each of the four enveloping side partitions and in each of the end planes of the passage module. Successive manifold sections have increasing numbers of passage modules so that each passage module of a manifold section is aligned with an integral number of passage modules of the following manifold section.
