Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To prevent the drift of gas flow by installing a gas induction rib perpendicularly to parallel ribs in the outlet of gas passages of a plurality of parallel ribs to produce gas flow which proceeds to the opposite direction to the mounting side of manifolds and then goes back to the manifold mounting sides. CONSTITUTION:A gas induction rib 3 is installed perpendicularly to parallel ribs 2 in the outlet of gas passages of a plurality of parallel ribs 2 to produce gas flow which proceeds to the opposite direction to the mounting side of manifolds 4, 5 and then goes back to the manifolds 4, 5 mounting sides. Although a gas is supplied from a gas supply side manifold 4 and exhausted form a gas exhaust side manifold 5, the gas induction rib 3 is installed in the exhaust side of a plurality of ribs 2 which are arranged in parallel. The length of each gas passage is made equal, that is, the resistance in each gas passage is made equal and thereby gas flow is equally divided. The drift of gas flow is therefore prevented.
