Abstract
Tower packing element comprising a tubular body member with an essentially triangular cross-section and having projections within the element extending from the inside surface of the body member, is provided. The axial length of the tubular body member is smaller than the width as measured from an apex of the triangle to the nearest point on the opposed side.
Claims5
A random dumped packing element having a peripheral body member in the general shape of an equilateral triangle having width and depth dimensions, measured from an apex to the nearest point on the opposed base and along the axis of the element respectively, wherein the width is greater than the depth, the space within the peripheral body member being occupied by a plurality of projections from the internal surfaces of the sides of the body member and comprising loops connecting each pair of adjacent sides so as to define passages within the element between each loop and the sides of the body member connected by the loop.
