ABSTRACT:
An improved method of laying out a continuous pathway for piping is provided wherein the pathway is laid out in a torus shape which spirals vertically and includes a plurality of vertically descending and ascending levels. A medium may flow through the pathway by descending on the odd-numbered vertical levels and ascending on the even-numbered vertical levels such that the flow of the medium moves through the pathway on substantially alternating vertical levels. The alternate levels are interconnected by crossover lengths of piping. The pathway utilizes less surface area by making use of the descending and ascending levels of pathway thereby utilizing greater depths instead of greater surface area. The method also provides a greater diversity of configurations for laying out a pathway than heretofore used.
