Abstract
In this work, a special distributor is proposed to distribute gas–liquid two-phase flow equally at different extraction ratio. A swirl vane is inserted at the entrance to achieve uniform swirling annular flow and ensure all the splitting holes have identical inlet conditions. A balance pipe is also applied to balance the pressure difference between the sample fluid loop and main fluid loop. Experiments were conducted in an air–water two-phase flow loop. The effect of gas and liquid superficial velocity, inlet flow pattern and splitting hole’s diameter were investigated. The results demonstrate that the extraction ratio is only dependent on the ratio of sample fluid hole number to that of main fluid. The fraction of gas and liquid taken off is not influenced by flow gas and liquid velocity, inlet flow pattern and size of the splitting hole. The desired extraction ratio can be obtained by regulating the number of sample fluid holes.
