DISTRIBUTOR FOR DISTRIBUTING LIQUID IN AN EXCHANGE COLUMN

摘要

The distributor has a plurality of distribution channels with outlet openings in the lower region for expelling streams of liquid against opposed impact walls in order to form descending liquid films on the impact walls. The impact wall are spaced from the side walls of the channels by a distance greater than the thickness of the liquid film formed on the impact walls. The kinetic energy of the liquid streams is relied upon to form the liquid film in parabolic-like shapes. Screening walls may also be disposed in opposition to the impact walls to preclude the entrainment of liquid in the rising vapor phase.
