Abstract
A gas delivery device includes a manifold and a plurality of channels. The manifold is adapted to be connected to a source of a pressurized gas. Each of the plurality of channels is in fluid communication with the manifold through a distinct associated port. Each of the plurality of channels has a generally open bottom.
Claims17
A gas delivery device comprising:
- a manifold adapted to be connected to a source of a pressurized gas;
- and
- a plurality of channels, each of the plurality of channels having a first end, a second end and a single outlet formed by the second end of the channel being open, the first end being in fluid communication with the manifold through a distinct associated port, each of the plurality of channels having an open bottom between the first end and the second end,
- wherein the plurality of channels have different lengths relative to each other,
- wherein the plurality of channels are parallel to each other, and wherein each of the plurality of channels extends in the same direction from the first end of the channel to the second end of the channel.

A gas delivery device comprising:
- a distribution manifold adapted to be connected to a source of a pressurized gas;
- and
- a plurality of channels, each of the plurality of channels being in fluid communication with the distribution manifold through a distinct associated port, each of the plurality of channels having an outlet at the end of the channel adapted to discharge gas,
- wherein the ports have a smaller area than the channels and the ports are located close together relative to a spacing between the outlets
- wherein the device has four or more channels, each of the channels has a different length, the channels are parallel to each other, and a largest horizontal distance between two of the ports is less than 10% of a largest distance from one of the ports to one of the outlets, and wherein each of the plurality of channels extends in the same direction from the port associated with the channel to the outlet of the channel.
