Abstract
A liquid distribution device and method for distributing liquid uniformly is disclosed. A coating liquid is supplied to a distribution cavity from both sides of the cavity through a delivery line. The cavity is a slot which expands from the length at the liquid entrance of the cavity to a longer length at the cavity exit. The two streams of liquid impinge against each other inside the cavity and spread out along the contour of the cavity. This liquid distribution system eliminates recirculation regions and does not experience problems with variable residence time and distribution across the slot.
