Liquid flow distribution system

A liquid flow distribution system (100) comprises a flow chamber (140) and a rotor (160). The flow chamber ( 140) has a flow chamber inlet (141 ), a flow chamber outlet ( 142) and a chamber flow path (143) extending from the flow chamber inlet (141 ) to the flow chamber outlet (142). The flow chambe...

Zusammenfassung:A liquid flow distribution system (100) comprises a flow chamber (140) and a rotor (160). The flow chamber ( 140) has a flow chamber inlet (141 ), a flow chamber outlet ( 142) and a chamber flow path (143) extending from the flow chamber inlet (141 ) to the flow chamber outlet (142). The flow chamber path (143) is curved so as to generate a generally vortical flow in liquid passing through the chamber flow path (143). The rotor (160) has a plurality of rotor blades (170, 180, 190) rotatably mounted about a rotor axis (161 ). The rotor (160) is mounted in proximity to the flow chamber outlet (142) and positioned such that a flow of liquid exiting the flow chamber outlet (142) impacts one or more of the rotor blades (170, 180, 190) to rotationally drive the rotor (160). Rotational driving of the rotor (160) in turn disperses liquid impacting the rotor blades (170, 180, 190).
