Abstract
A flow dividing manifold (12) divides a flow of anhydrous ammonia having both liquid and gas phases into separate flow paths. The manifold (12) has a first mixing nozzle (32) for concentrating the flow of the anhydrous ammonia in a first direction (46) against a first enclosed end (50) of a first mixing chamber (48). A second mixing nozzle (48) concentrating the flow of anhydrous ammonia in a second direction (76) orthogonal to the first direction (46) and against a second enclosed end (80) of a second mixing chamber (78). A flow divider structure (96) is disposed about an outward end of the second mixing chamber (78) and has a plurality of flow ports (90) which are angularly spaced around and extend orthogonal to the second flow direction (76) through the second mixing nozzle (64).
