System for fluid redistribution

摘要

A combined fluid collector and redistributor (130) for a process engineering column, comprising a fluid collector (132) for collecting a first fluid; a fluid redistributor (124) arranged below said fluid collector (132) to define a space between said fluid collector (132) and said fluid redistributor (124); at least one pipe (134) passing through said space to connect said fluid collector (132) to said fluid redistributor (124); and at least one conduit (136) extending through said fluid collector (132) to permit a second fluid to flow through said fluid collector (132). There is at least one deflector (140) in said space, wherein said at least one deflector (140) is set at an angle relative to a central axis of the device whereby flow of said second fluid within said space is displaced angularly around the central axis.
