Because of the unique construction, the bundle has other unexpected uses.
Claims14
An apparatus, comprising:
- a conduit bundle defined by a plurality of conduits maintained together, said conduits of said bundle having open inlet and outlet ends and a porosity sufficient for lateral communication between said conduits of said conduit bundle;
- and
- means for maintaining the conduits contacting and positioned one relative to others.
A honeycomb type distribution system for generating low isotropic turbulence, comprising:
- a conduit bundle defined by a plurality of conduits maintained together, said plurality of conduits each having first and second opposed ends and a porosity sufficient for lateral communication between said conduits of said conduit bundle;
- and
- means for enclosing said conduit bundle about the length of said bundle and defining a distribution system of general honeycomb configuration free of screen elements.
