passes from the annular space between the second section 13 and the horizontal pipe 32 on to the journal annuls opening 44 as fig3 shows the interior wall of the first section 12 of the device forms an angle u03c6 with a line parallel to the midline axis 70 of the device 10 fluid flow restrictions can be diminished by having small angle u03c6 for example the angle u03c6 may be set to less than 90 u00b0 further there may be one or more openings 11 in the siphon support 10 the total area of the openings 11 is sized so as to not reduce impede or restrict the steam flow 102 the sum total area of the openings 11 is denoted as a t referring to fig8 d 3 is defined as the outside diameter of the horizontal pipe 32 in the region where the horizontal pipe 32 passes through either the rotating portion 54 of the rotary joint 50 and or the second portion 13 of the siphon support 10 thus in order to maintain good fluid flow characteristics the openings 11 on the siphon support 10 is sized referring to both fig3 and fig8 according to equation 1 as follows thus the total area of the openings 11 are generally sized to equal or exceed the total area of the annular space between the interior surface of the.
