A fluid pressure reduction device with tortuous flow paths in stacked disks. The fluid flow outlets are maintained independent by directed flow paths to avoid flow collisions in the exiting flow streams. A flow straightening section includes an inwardly tapered end section at the fluid flow outlets.

A fluid pressure reduction device with tortuous flow paths in stacked disks. The fluid flow outlets are maintained independent by directed flow paths to avoid flow collisions in the exiting flow streams. A flow straightening section includes an inwardly tapered end section at the fluid flow outlets. Splitting of a tortuous flow path into at least two sub-flow paths with balancing of the mass flow between the sub-flow paths.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A fluid pressure reduction device comprising:a plurality of stacked disks having a perimeter and hollow centers aligned along a longitudinal axis;each disk having a plurality of respective fluid flow passages extending from a passage inlet at the disk hollow center to a passage outlet for the outlet flow at the disk perimeter;each respective fluid flow passage including a tortuous flow path with each tortuous flow path remaining independent from each other in traversing through said disk to substantially avoid collisions between respective tortuous flow paths;said fluid flow passages including directed flow path means at said passage outlets directing the outlet flows to substantially avoid collisions between respective outlet flows on exiting from the respective passage outlets.
