Abstract
A device receives a volatile fluid, then separates the vapor phase portion from the liquid phase portion in a separation chamber, and then provides separate paths from the separation chamber to a selective outlet ring across liquid and gas orifices for each outlet in the ring, where the divided gas and liquid are recombined, thereby enhancing the equal distribution of the fluid.
