jaotustorudikke

Jaotustorudikke, sometimes referred to as distribution manifold or simply manifold, is a component used in fluid systems. Its primary function is to divide a single incoming fluid flow into multiple outgoing flows, or conversely, to combine multiple incoming flows into a single outgoing flow. This is achieved through a series of connected ports or outlets.

These devices are commonly found in various applications, including heating and cooling systems, plumbing, hydraulic systems, and pneumatic systems. In hydronic heating systems, for example, a jaotustorudikke is used to distribute heated water from a boiler to multiple heating zones or radiators. Similarly, in underfloor heating, it separates the main supply pipe into individual loops.

The design of a jaotustorudikke can vary depending on the specific application and the number of outlets required. They are typically made from materials resistant to the fluid being handled and the operating pressure and temperature, such as brass, stainless steel, or various plastics. Some jaotustorudikke may also incorporate features like control valves or flow meters to regulate the flow to each individual outlet. The principle of operation is straightforward: fluid enters a central chamber and is then directed through separate channels to each port.
