ABSTRACT:
A flow splitter for liquid-vapor mixtures wherein a reservoir has an inlet at a top end and a drain at a bottom end of a vertical axis, and also has a plurality of outlets in a level plane perpendicular to the vertical axis. Each inlet is connected by an equally sized aperture in a sidewall of the reservoir to a central cavity of the reservoir in which the liquid collects. When the liquid accumulates to the point that it reaches the lower edge of each aperture, the liquid divides equally among the apertures to become re-entrained with a substantially equal portion of the vapor passing through each outlet. The liquid may be removed through the drain to control the proportion of liquid in the split mixture.
