Tube nozzle having thermal transient reduction

摘要

A tube nozzle having a thermal insulative barrier in it to prevent thermal fatigue cracks due to thermal transients in tube nozzles for all kinds of pipe joints that carry fluids with temperatures that change rapidly. This is particularly useful in mixing tees, where two different temperature fluids meet. The use of this invention could increase safety and reliability of processing streams in processing plants involving fluids maintained at various constant or fluctuating temperatures.
