ABSTRACT:
An improved liquid flow distributor assembly for a process column of the type wherein the distributor is positioned above a packing section for the distribution of liquid downwardly therethrough. The improvement comprises a plurality of troughs constructed with a series of removable distributor tube assemblies on opposite sides thereof. Each tube is constructed with a first generally U-shaped securing, or mounting channel affixed to the side of a distributor trough with a hole formed therethrough in flow communication with the lower region of the trough. An angulated distributor channel is constructed for slidable engagement with the U-shaped securing channel element. The sidewalls of the U-shaped channel are constructed for securing the sliding channel therein and forming a triangular flow conduit for receiving the discharge of fluid from the trough. The tubes depend downwardly from the side walls of the trough below the bottom region thereof so as to reduce disturbance by the raising vapor flow at the point of liquid discharge. In this manner the advantages of distributor tubes are provided in a configuration facilitating the cleaning thereof by removal of the sliding channel member from the securing channel element.
