Pipeless modular fluid transport housing - has components with passages between faces on common pitch circle

摘要

The housing avoids the use of separate pipes when transporting fluids, having a number of modular components assembled together and with flange faces which can be sealed off, together with passages in the components for the fluid between these faces. The mouths of the passages in the components and the intermediate discs are on a common pitch circle with radius centred on the lengthwise axis of the housing, about which the components and discs, having similar or different hole patterns, turn. The components can be assembled if necessary with disc, to form a unit so that one or more passages can act as a bypass in the lengthwise direction, by turning or inverting individual components or disc.
