Abstract
The distributor serves for a pairwise delivery of two liquids to a plurality of infeed sites in a reactor or in a column with a density of at least 50 sites per m2. The distributor has a pair of main passages that supply pairs of secondary passages with different liquid. Each pair of secondary passages is formed by a pair of upstanding side parts and an upstanding partition wall. Each side part has a base extending from a lower edge to the partition wall to define a secondary passage therewith for receiving liquid from a respective one of the main passages, and each base has a plurality of outlet apertures for the outflow of liquid from the respective secondary passage.
Claims18
A distributor for delivering two different liquids comprising
- a pair of horizontally disposed main passages for conveying different flows of liquid, each said main passage having a plurality of drainage holes therein;
- a common wall separating said main passages;
- and
- a plurality of pairs of secondary passages disposed below said main passages to receive liquid therefrom, each said pair of secondary passages including a pair of upstanding side parts and an upstanding partition wall between said side parts, each said side part being spaced from said partition wall and having a base extending from a lower edge to said partition wall to define said secondary passage therewith for receiving a liquid, and
- each said side part having a plurality of outlet apertures for the outflow of liquid from said respective secondary passage.
A distributor for delivering two different liquids comprising
- a pair of upstanding side parts and an upstanding partition wall between said side parts, each said side part being spaced from said partition wall and having a base extending angularly from a lower edge to said partition wall to define a secondary passage therewith for receiving a liquid and to define an acute angle with said partition wall,
- each said side part having a plurality of outlet apertures disposed in said respective base for the outflow of liquid from said respective secondary passage in a direction away from said partition wall, and
- a pair of deflection elements, each said element being mounted on a respective side part in facing relation to said base thereof to deflect outflows of liquid from said outlet apertures in a downward direction.
A distributor for delivering two different liquids comprising
- a pair of upstanding side parts and an upstanding partition wall between said side parts, each said side part being spaced from said partition wall and having a base extending from a lower edge to said partition wall to define a secondary passage therewith for receiving a liquid,
- each said side part having a plurality of outlet apertures for the outflow of liquid from said respective secondary passage, and
- said partition wall having a lower end strip of a shape to effect localized leaks of liquid from each said secondary passage in an alternating manner and a corresponding drop formation of the liquid from each said secondary passage.
A distributor for delivering two different liquids comprising
- a pair of upstanding side parts and an upstanding partition wall between said side parts, each said side part being spaced from said partition wall and having a base extending from a lower edge to said partition wall to define a secondary passage therewith for receiving a liquid,
- each said side part having a plurality of outlet apertures for the outflow of liquid from said respective secondary passage, and
- said partition wall having at least one of a roughened lower edge and a serrated lower edge to obstruct a transverse movement of liquid drops therealong.
