Abstract
Provided is a distribution system for the uniform distribution of fluids. The system comprises a conduit means which has an inlet for supplying fluid under pressure to the interior of the conduit means. Outlet means are distributed along the length of the conduit for lateral discharge of the fluid from the conduit, and means for increasing the interior surface roughness of the conduit, such as a stainless steel screen, is attached to the inner surface of the conduit opposite the outlet means. The resulting distribution system achieves a uniform distribution of fluid easily and inexpensively.
