ABSTRACT:
Improved trough-type and plate-type liquid distributors and redistributors for use in vapor-liquid contact columns wherein uniform distribution of downflowing liquid is achieved by employing round orifices in the sides of vapor ducts and troughs, said orifices being sized such that they stay submerged. Even better distribution is obtained when small round orifices are used with adjacent vertical drip rods to which the liquid can adhere and follow downward. Invention allows good distribution for very low flow rates, e.g. less than 0.15 gallons/minute/square foot.
