ABSTRACT:
A manifold for dividing a single, two-phase mixed stream of vapor and liquid into a plurality of individual streams of substantially uniform quality. The manifold includes: a flow disperser having an inlet port for receiving the vapor-liquid mixture and at least two outlet ports; at least two hollow runners, each runner having a first end in fluid communication with one of the outlet ports of the flow disperser and a second end; a substantially toroidal manifold shell having at least two fluid receiver ports in fluid communication with each of the second ends of the runners, the manifold shell defining a manifold chamber; and a plurality of distribution ports spaced about the toroidal manifold shell, the distribution ports located on the toroidal manifold shell in a substantially coplanar relationship with the fluid receiver ports, each distribution port in fluid communication with the manifold chamber of the toroidal manifold shell; wherein the vapor-liquid mixture emanating from each the distribution port of the manifold is of substantially uniform quality. A method for uniformly distributing a vapor-liquid mixture is also provided.
