ABSTRACT:
A tower structure for gas-liquid interaction produces rolling turbulence in a gas flow path that has low pressure drop. The structure includes a spaced plurality of vertically disposed wall members in an upwardly directed flow path, a staggered array of horizontally extending deflectors protruding from facing wall members, forming a series of converging and diverging chamber portions in which the gas flows generally perpendicular to the deflectors. Rolling turbulence is produced between apexes of the deflectors and the facing wall portions, the gas flow being offset toward opposite wall members at succeeding apexes. In one configuration, a liquid is transported within the gas flow, in contact with the gas. In another configuration, the liquid is separate from the gas. In a further configuration, two liquid paths are provided, one in contact with the gas, one separate from the gas. In the configurations transporting a liquid not in contact with the gas, the deflector members are hollow for passing the liquid in close proximity to the gas. A supply manifold delivers the liquid into the uppermost deflector member, the liquid flowing between opposite side members of the wall members into each of the deflector members of a wall member, exiting from the lowermost deflector member of the wall member, being collected therefrom by an outlet manifold for recirculation. The structure provides a variety of cooling tower, condensing tower, heat exchanger, and scrubber configurations, alone and in combination, in a family of compatible modules.
