Abstract

Eine Verteileinrichtung (1) zum Verteilen eines Fluids (15) in einem Behälter (27) von einem Fluideintritt (26) des Behälters (27) aus, umfasst mindestens eine Leitplatte mit einem Leitabschnitt (2) und einen an den Leitabschnitt (2) angrenzenden Verteilabschnitt (3). Dabei weist der Verteilabschnitt (3) Bereiche (4, 5) mit Öffnungen (8, 9) zum Durchlassen des Fluids (17) auf.A distributor device (1) for distributing a fluid (15) in a container (27) from a fluid inlet (26) of the container (27) comprises at least one guide plate with a guide section (2) and one adjacent to the guide section (2) Distribution section (3). In this case, the distribution section (3) has areas (4, 5) with openings (8, 9) for the passage of the fluid (17).

Bei einer Wärmetauschervorrichtung (100), welche einen Behälter (27) mit einem Fluideintritt (26), mindestens einen in dem Behälter (27) angeordneten Wärmetauscherblock (28) aufweist, ist eine in dem Behälter (27) oberhalb des Wärmetauscherblocks (28) angeordnete Verteileinrichtung (101) vorgesehen.
