Cartridge type vortex suppression device

摘要

A vortex suppression device is provided which includes a plurality of spaced apart porous panels arranged generally parallel with respect to each other for placement adjacent a suction pipe inlet. The panels of the suppression device are oriented generally perpendicular to, or parallel to the suction pipe inlet. The device serves to prevent formation of a sufficiently strong vortex capable of pulling a continuous gas core into the suction piping.
