APPARATUS AND SYSTEM TO CONTROL FLUID

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fluid control system disposed at a predetermined distance from a fluid transfer apparatus, in relation generally to control of fluid transport systems, and more particularly, to methods and apparatus for channeling water to facilitate operation of cooling water systems. SOLUTION: The fluid control apparatus includes: a conical base 202 defining a top center portion 203; and a plurality of vanes 204 inserted into at least a part of the conical base and extending radially outward from the top center. The fluid supply source includes at least one wall extending from a floor. The fluid transfer system also includes at least one fluid transfer apparatus positioned within the fluid supply source. The fluid transfer system further includes a fluid control system. The fluid control system includes a plate coupled within the fluid supply source at least partially between the wall and the at least one fluid transfer apparatus. The fluid control system also includes at least one partition extending from the plate between the wall and the at least one fluid transfer apparatus. The at least one partition cooperates with the plate to at least partially direct fluid flow into the at least one fluid transfer apparatus. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
