ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an improved method and system for properly and uniformly distributing fluids in upright vessels commonly called vertical shaft kilns or retorts. The distributors disclosed have a unique shape to facilitate movement of particulate matter passing by them and in addition have orifices which are recessed to keep each orifice free of solids with varying sized orifices as needed to provide the flow distribution uniformly across the lateral extent of the retort. Further the distributors are supported at each end by and protrude through nozzles built into the vessel shell to supply connection for external piping. The supports are so formed as to provide for thermal expansion through fluid-tight closures during high temperature operation.
