Liquid distributing apparatus and method for a liquid-vapor contact column.

摘要

Improved liquid distributors for use in vapor-liquid contact columns wherein uniform distribution of downflowing liquid is achieved by employing openings in the sides of vapor ducts and troughs, said openings being sized such that they remain submerged in the liquid in the trough. Improved distribution is obtained when the openings are provided with adjacent vertical drip rods to which the liquid can adhere and follow downward. Improved liquid distribution is obtained at very low flow rates, e.g. less than 6,1lit/min/m<2>.
