Abstract
An apparatus for dividing a single stream vapor-liquid mixture into a plurality of individual streams while maintaining substantially the same vapor-liquid ratio in each of the individual streams. The apparatus comprises a closed vessel having a central inlet in the top for the single stream and a plurality of outlets in the side of the vessel for the individual streams. A frustum shaped diverting member is mounted in the center of the vessel to divert the flow of the single stream into the individual streams. A bottom drain is provided for removing any liquid that is separated from the vapor-liquid mixture.
