Abstract
A distributor for supply of fluid to be vaporized, for example water, to a steam generator is formed by means of plates shaped and assembled by boiler-work operations. The bottom is constituted by a metal sheet bent into a U-shape to which are welded a plate pierced with orifices and a V-shaped plate of which an arm is prolonged by a gutter extending beyond the orifices and serving to guide the flow of water. This type of distributor is particularly useful in steam generators of nuclear power plants.
