In retrofitting situations, inlet nozzles are a common problem area. Higher gas flow volumes create poor gas distribution in crowded drums or distillation towers. This frequently results from under designed inlet distributors that allow localized high velocities and severe liquid reentrainment.

The YORK-EVENFLOW™ Vane Type Inlet Devices are used to decrease the momentum of the inlet feed stream. This allows the removal of bulk liquid and solids and evenly distributes the gas flow over the downstream mist elimination devices. In addition, the YORK-EVENFLOW vane type inlet devices reduces gas velocities flowing over the liquid surface, preventing reentrainment of previously collected liquid from the liquid surface.

•	Reduces high inlet gas momentum
•	Diverts high liquid loads away from mist eliminators
•	Prevents reetrainment of liquid droplets from the liquid sump
•	Modular construction allows installation through vessel manways
•	Custom engineered for vertical or horizontal vessels
