DEVICE FOR SHARING OUT A VISCOUS MEDIUM, ESPECIALLY A LUBRICANT SUCH AS OIL, TRANSPORTED IN A GAS FLOW

摘要

The invention relates to a device for sharing out a viscous medium, especially a lubricant such as oil, which is transported in a gas flow. Said device comprises a tubular housing (1) having an inlet connection (3) configured on a face of the housing (1) and at least two outlet connections (20) configured on the opposite face of the housing (1). The device further comprises a compressor (7) mounted downstream of the inlet connection (3) in the direction of flow (S), an expansion compartment (11) mounted downstream of the compressor (7) and a distributor (5) adjacent to the expansion compartment (11) and linked with the outlet connections (20). Said distributor (5) comprises a whirl chamber (15) mounted downstream of the expansion compartment (11), a smoothing compartment (16) adjacent to the whirl chamber (15) and at least one metering bore (18) linking the smoothing compartment (16) with one of the outlet connections (20).
