Abstract
Significant savings of space inside a mass transfer tower can be obtained by use of a liquid distributor system with efficient uniform distribution from conduits such as troughs, pipes or deck distributors using flow spreader devices located predominantly below the conduit enabling closer spacing of liquid distribution points within the tower.
Claims10
A liquid distributor system comprising a conduit having a plurality of liquid distribution apertures and, attached directly to a wall of the conduit, a plurality of conductor tubes each adapted to receive a flow of liquid exiting the conduit through vertically aligned apertures and discharge it directly on to an angled spreader plate located at least partially below the conduit and inclined at an angle below the horizontal that is not more than 75.degree. such that a liquid exiting the conduit is spread into a relatively thin flow.
