Abstract
An arrangement for uniformly distributing a liquid slurry across a flow path at a selected level of a housing. This invention incorporates a plurality of supply headers located adjacent the housing at that level of the housing for supplying the liquid slurry to the housing. A plurality of feeder lines extend from each of these supply headers across the flow path at this level of the housing. The feeder lines from one such supply header are arranged so as to be vertically displaced directly atop the feeder lines from an adjacent supply header. Thus, the feeder lines from the separate supply headers extend in a parallel, in-line relationship one atop the other thereby reducing the blockage of the flow path. Nozzles extend in a staggered fashion from these feeder lines and are off-set with respect to each other. The staggering of the nozzles is provided so that the spray from the nozzles coupled to the upper feeder lines do not impinge directly on the structure of the lower feeder lines.
