FLOW DEFLECTOR ARRANGEMENT

摘要

A flow deflector arrangement is used in combination with a pipe arrangement secured through a component, the flow deflector arrangement comprising: a nut to secure the pipe arrangement to the component, and a shroud for attachment to the component so as to extend at least partially around the pipe arrangement when the pipe arrangement is secured to the component by the nut. The nut has an outwardly directed flange to adopt a position spaced from the component, and the shroud defines at least one deflector surface which, when the shroud is attached to the component, extends away from the component in spaced relation to the pipe arrangement. The flange and the deflector surface cooperate in deflecting a flow of fluid flowing from the component and along the outside of the pipe arrangement such that the flow is deflected generally outwardly from the pipe arrangement with a degree of swirl.

1. A flow deflector arrangement for use in combination with a pipe arrangement secured through a component, the flow deflector arrangement comprising: a nut to secure the pipe arrangement to said component, and a shroud configured for attachment to said component so as to extend at least partially around the pipe arrangement when the pipe arrangement is secured to said component by the nut; wherein the nut has an outwardly directed flange configured to adopt a position spaced from said component, and the shroud defines at least one deflector surface which, when the shroud is attached to said component around the pipe arrangement, extends away from said component in spaced relation to the pipe arrangement; the flange and said at least one deflector surface thus being configured to cooperate in deflecting a flow of fluid flowing from said component and along the outside of the pipe arrangement such that the flow is deflected generally outwardly from the pipe arrangement with a degree of swirl.
