A pipeline header refers to a large pipe that is set up to aggregate flow from smaller pipes (collecting header). On the other hand, it can also distribute flow to many smaller pipes (distributing header).

Mar 4, 2022 · Many flow systems use manifolds or headers to distribute fluid to multiple paths. Such arrangements often arise with heat exchangers, centrifuges, reactors and other equipment. Usually, the aim is to send the same amount of fluid through each path.

Jan 28, 2015 · All Process and Utility Branch-to-Header connections should be the simplest, most cost effective method. This will almost always result in a 90 deg connection. This would be a connection using a Tee, Weld-O-Let or a Stub-In (un-reingforced or reinforced).

Jun 8, 2004 · A header is a large pipe or manifold that is used to collect the discharge from many smaller pipes ( a collecting header) , or can be used to distribute fluid to many smaller pipes ( distributing header). The term 'header' can mean a number …

Feb 2, 2011 · Devices used to achieve the division of flows from a single source to many outlets are usually termed headers and manifolds. The former term is usually confined to heat exchangers and cases where the outlets are close together.

A fluid distribution header is characterized by an inlet on one end, a drain on the other end, with multiple outlets on the sides. Typical fluid distribution headers are manufactured from a piece of pipe or bar and feature welded or threaded end connections.

As a distribution manifold or header, an FDH connects several users to the source of a utility fluid. Typical applications include: In a typical analyzer house, for instance, one FDH is an instrument air header, another FDH is the plant nitrogen header, and …

Distribution Header: This header distributes fluids to different processing units or storage tanks within a facility. Injection Header: This header injects fluids, such as water or gas, into the reservoir to enhance production.

In part one of this article, we examined two common systems, one using compressible gasses, and the other using non-compressible liquids, that provide uniform distribution of cooling fluid in both cooling applications and many spray applications.

Apr 1, 2012 · The flow distribution from a header (manifold) to parallel channels has become of interest in predicting the heat transfer performance of compact heat exchangers especially in plate heat exchangers.
