Abstract
A discharge gas manifold having a main conduit, an end feeder conduit, and at least one intermediate feeder conduit, wherein the at least one intermediate feeder conduit contains a portion, adjacent to the main conduit, that forms an angle between 0°-60° with the axis of the main conduit.
Claims17
An HVAC component comprising:
- at least two refrigeration compressors;
- a discharge gas manifold further comprising:
- a main conduit having a distal end, a proximal end, and a main longitudinal axis;
- and
- at least one intermediate feeder conduit having a first portion extending from an area between the distal end and the proximal end of the main conduit and having a second portion operably coupled between the first portion and a discharge line of at least one of the compressors;
- wherein the first portion of the at least one intermediate feeder conduit, including an intermediate portion longitudinal axis, is directly connected to the main conduit and forms an angle between 0°-45° with the main longitudinal axis.

- and
- at least one intermediate feeder conduit extending from an area between the distal end and the proximal end of the main conduit;
- wherein a portion of the at least one intermediate feeder conduit most proximal to the main conduit, including an intermediate portion longitudinal axis, forms an angle between 0°-45° with the main longitudinal axis;
- wherein a first portion of the at least one intermediate feeder conduit is an intermediate first straight portion;
- wherein a second portion of the at least one intermediate feeder conduits further comprises:
- an intermediate first curved portion, adjacent to the intermediate first straight portion;
- an intermediate second straight portion adjacent to the intermediate first curved portion, the intermediate second straight portion including an intermediate second straight portion longitudinal axis forming an angle with the main longitudinal axis;
- an intermediate second curved portion, adjacent to the intermediate second straight portion;
- and
- an intermediate third straight portion adjacent to the intermediate second curved portion, the intermediate third straight portion including an intermediate third straight portion longitudinal axis forming an angle with the intermediate second straight portion.
