  • Patent number: 11660577
    Abstract: A flow distribution system for distributing and dividing the flows of at least two separate fluids, the distribution system comprising: a three-dimensional nested structure of at least two fluid transporting fractals comprising at least a first fluid transporting fractal and a second fluid transporting fractal, each fluid transporting fractal having a respective fluid inlet which bifurcates to a plurality of fluid outlets, each fluid transporting fractal being configured to facilitate a flow therethrough independent from a flow in the other fluid transporting fractal, each fluid transporting fractal extending along and about a central axis between fluid inlet and a plurality of fluid outlets; wherein each fluid transporting fractals comprises of a series of recursive bifurcation units assembled in a selected number of stages, each bifurcation unit comprising a Y-shaped bifurcated element which is fluidly connected to two successive bifurcation units, each successive bifurcation unit being rotated relative to

  • Publication number: 20150300862
    Abstract: A fouling resistant manifold (1) for mounting a fluid monitoring sensor used to monitor various fluid parameters of a fluid. The manifold (1) includes a fluid inlet (2) and a fluid outlet (3) connected by a fluid channel (4). A sensor mounting area (7) is provided for mounting a respective sensor module and flow deflection formation (9) is configured to control the velocity gradient of the fluid flow at the sensor mounting area (7) thereby inducing a localised increase in shear stress to the manifold surface wall. The increased wall shear reduces the tendency for suspended matter in the fluid to attach to the channel surface.
