FLOW DISTRIBUTOR FOR HEAT TRANSFER PLATE

摘要

A flow distributor for a heat transfer device (201) having a plurality of channels (205) includes a sheath (101) defining a plurality of distributor holes (107), each distributor hole configured to be in fluid communication with a respective channel inlet (204) of each channel of the heat transfer device and an insert (103) defining a plurality of fluid channels (109) therein and a fluid inlet (105), each fluid channel in fluid communication with the fluid inlet. The insert is disposed within the sheath to seal the fluid channels with each fluid channel in fluid communication with a respective one of the distribution holes. The fluid inlet includes an inner inlet (105a) and an outer inlet (105b) radially outward from the inner inlet for mixing a fluid flow in the fluid inlet for evenly distributing fluid flow (e.g., a two phase flow) into the fluid channels of the insert and into each channel of the heat transfer device.
