A splitter plate arrangement is provided for controlling the flow of flue gas in a vertical stack. The splitter plate arrangement 100 is operable to control the flow of flue gas in a vertical stack 128 having an annular entry 130 communicated with two inlets 126A, 126B which each communicate a respective one of the flue gas producers with the vertical stack 128. The inlets 126A, 126B are both disposed on a common inlet axis which bisects the annular entry 130 into two bisected halves, the two inlets 126A, 126B are oriented in opposition to one another such that the inlet flow 132 of flue gas through the inlet 126A flows in a direction opposite to the inlet flow 134 of flue gas through the inlet 126B. The splitter plate arrangement 100 includes a first splitter plate 136 and a second splitter plate 138. The first splitter plate 136 extends radially inwardly from the inner surface of the vertical stack 128 at generally the midpoint MDOT of one bisected half of the annular entry 130 of the vertical stack on one respective side of the inlet axis 1A. The second splitter plate 138 extends radially inwardly from the inner surface of the vertical stack 128 at generally the midpoint MDOB of the other bisected half of the annular entry 130 of the vertical stack 128 on the other respective side of the inlet axis 1A.
A splitter plate arrangement for controlling the flow of flue gas in a vertical stack having an annular entry communicated with two inlets both disposed on a common inlet axis which bisects the annular entry into two bisected halves, the two inlets being oriented in opposition to one another such that the inlet flows of flue gas through the opposed inlets are aligned with the common inlet axis and in opposed directions to one another, the splitter plate arrangement comprising:
A splitter plate arrangement for controlling the flow of flue gas in a vertical stack having an annular entry communicated with two inlets and the annular entry being bisected by a bisecting axis into two bisected halves, the two inlets being oriented relative to one another at an included angle other than one-hundred and eighty (180) degrees such that the inlet flows of flue gas through the inlets are at an angle to one another and communicate into the same respective bisected half of the annular entry of the vertical stack, the inlet flows of flue gas each moving into a respective spiral vortice within the vertical stack, the splitter plate arrangement comprising:
