Abstract
Abstract A fluid distributor for vessels includes a complete cooling jacket for at least the portion of the fluid distributor mounted in and exposed to the interior of a vessel, and includes shielded outlet orifices to prevent particulate material from blocking the outlets so that a free flow of the fluid may be injected into the material in the vessel from each outlet.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
159 words
A distributor for introducing treatment fluids into a vertical reaction vessel comprising a. a length of pipe, b. a pipe concentrically mounted over said length of pipe forming a cooling-fluid-holding annulus around said length of pipe, c. inlet and outlet means for introducing and withdrawing cooling fluid from said annulus, d. there being a plurality of orifices in said length of pipe and mating orifices in said pipe inclusive of bridging means between said orifices to form a plurality of outlets for said length of pipe through said concentric pipe, e. each said outlet being below the maximum horizontal diameter of said pipes and each having a cross-sectional area substantially less than the cross-sectional area of said length of pipe, f. each said outlet being flared outwardly and each said orifice having its outlet flush with the outer surface of said concentric pipe, and g. means for introducing fluid into said length of pipe for distribution through said outlets.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

A distributor for introducing treatment fluids into a vertical reaction vessel comprising a. a length of pipe, b. a pipe concentrically mounted over said length of pipe forming a cooling-fluid-holding annulus around said length of pipe, c. inlet and outlet means for introducing and withdrawing cooling fluid from said annulus, d. there being a plurality of orifices in said length of pipe and mating orifices in said pipe inclusive of bridging means between said orifices to form a plurality of outlets for said length of pipe through said concentric pipe, e. each said outlet being below the maximum horizontal diameter of said pipes and each having a cross-sectional area substantially less than the cross-sectional area of said length of pipe, f. each said outlet being flared outwardly and each said orifice having its outlet flush with the outer surface of said concentric pipe, and g. means for introducing fluid into said length of pipe for distribution through said outlets.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
34 words
A distributor according to claim 1 wherein a series of baffles longitudinally extending along said pipe are mounted in said annulus to direct a flow of fluid therein and to space said pipes apart.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
39 words
A distributor according to claim 1 wherein said orifices are formed in opposed series on opposite sides of said pipes and each orifice is positioned and directed downwardly below said maximum horizontal diameters at an angle of from 20*-45*.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
61 words
A distributor according to claim 1 wherein said bridgiNg means includes a ring placed in the space between each said orifice in said length of pipe and each mating orifice in said concentric pipe and wall means being secured to said ring extending from the inner each orifice in said length of pipe to each mating orifice in said concentric pipe.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
11 words
A distributor according to claim 1 wherein said pipes are cylindrical.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
17 words
A distributor according to claim 4 wherein a weldment secured to said ring forms said wall means.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
19 words
A distributor according to claim 1 wherein each said orifice in said length of pipe is a cylindrical bore.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
42 words
A distributor according to claim 7 wherein said bridging means for each outlet includes wall means extending from the outside of said cylindrical bore, flared outwardly to the outside of said concentric pipe forming a flared outlet from said length of pipe.
