<p>A manifold (10) with improved flow-splitting characteristics, resulting in uniform or nearly uniform flows from its outlet passages, is provided. The internal flow dynamics of the manifold are adjusted by modifying the cross-sectional area of the elongated manifold cavity (13). The cross-sectional area may be modified by placing one or more inserts (22) in the interior cavity of the manifold, each insert having a nonconstant cross-sectional area designed to compensate for the differential flow characteristics within the manifold. Alternatively, the interior of the manifold may be formed with a nonconstant cross-sectional area designed to compensate for the differential flow characteristics within the manifold. <IMAGE></p> |
