  • Distribution of gas entrained particles
    Patent number: 4832539
    Abstract: A pneumatic transport and distribution system for passing gas-entrained particles to a distributor which then distributes the particles through a plurality of distributor outlets. At least a portion of inlet conduit extending vertically to the distributor is of square or other non-circular inner cross-section for prevention of "spiralling" of the particles as they emanate from the distributor inlet into the distributor to thereby improve the flow distribution of the particles from the distributor outlets.
