Abstract
The subject device has a pair of conical segment members extending downstream from a central chamber and provided with means to relatively rotate them to proportion the flow of the non-predominant (volumetric-wise) phase of two-phase fluid therethrough. Relative positioning of the conical segment members forces the two-phase mixture streams to change velocities and mix the liquid phase with the gaseous phase prior to their encountering a flow-splitting device such as a tee junction.
