poration of Illinois Application March5, 1as'I,.-sorlsl-No. 129,244 I "12 claims (or. cz-izeij My invention relates to cooling units ofrefrigerating -'s'ysterns wherein liquid refrigerant issupplied: to a duct or coil of the'cooling unit to produce the cooling effect,'and has reference more particularly to facilities for supplyin equal amountsof refrigerant'to each of-several banks a of coils. a I
In refrigerating systems of the type ordinarily used a refrigerating medium is employed which,
19 after compression. is introduced in liquid form through an exp nsion or control valve into the coils of a' cooling-unit wherein the refrigerant is evaporated and converted into gas, thereby loweringthe temperature of the cooling unit or coils by the heat absorption which occurs in the conversionof the liquid into gas. In some cases. as for example in air conditioning equipment, wherein normaloperation requires 'a high rate of heat transfer, refrigerant is preferably introduced separately into a number of parallel banks of coils and in order to avoid the necessity of-employing a separate expansion valve for each bank] of ,coils it is desirable to provide a "single expansion valve with a dis- 2 tributor which will properly proportion orequalin the supply of'refrigerant to each bank of coils.
Howevenfas some evaporation begins to take place as the refrigerant is discharged from the expansion or control valve, the refrigerant becomes a somewhat turbulent mixture of liquid and gas which does not distribute uniformly with ordinary distribution facilities, and it is necessary to provide special distribution facilities a which will properly proportion or equalize the supply or distribution of the refrigerant to the various banksvof coils of the cooling unit.
It is therefore, an object of my invention to provide-refrigerant distribution facilities for rescribed, reference beinghad to the accompanying drawing, in which: g as Fig. 1 is a vertical sectional view of a distributor constructed in accordance with my inw vention; I

Fig. 6 is a sectional view-of a header which 16 may be employed inplace of the take-oi! connections of Fig: 4 to insure uniform. suction at all the tube outlets.- Referring to the drawing the reference .nu-
merai l0 indicates a multiple bank cooling unit 20 as a whole. having four superposed banks ll of coilspeachbank of which comprises four laterally spaced parallel pipes ii, at the same elevation, connected in series by return bends l3' and I supported by end plates ll with fins or plates IS on said pipesbetween the end, plates It in accordance with the usual practice. Each bank of coils has an intake end 16 to which refrigerant is supplied and an outlet end I! :connected with a. compressor (not shown). which withdraws the refrigerant gas. from the coils and after compressing and condensing same into liquid form returns. the liquid refrigerant through the pipe l8 to the expansion valve l9 from which it is supplied to the intake ends 16 of the coils. 1
