Slot type liquid distributor
The liquid falling from the upper packing is collected by the liquid collecting plate, flows through the lower liquid guide tank and then into the bottom liquid collecting tank in the center. When the diameter of the tower is large, in addition to the center collecting tank, the surrounding ring collecting tank is also set, and the collecting shutter is fixed on the middle horizontal tank and the ring groove.The liquid collected by the liquid collecting plate flows into the horizontal groove and the annular groove, and then flows into the redistributor below through the central tube of the horizontal groove to mix and redistribute the liquid.
| Column Diameter | >1000mm |
| Liquid Range | 0.5-30m³/(㎡*h) |
| Support at shell | A circular trough is welded to the column shell. This acts as support of the chevron collecting devices that bring the liquid into the channel. |
| Construction Type | Like a chimney tray it is designed in parts to pass through the column manway and to be bolted to the support. |
| Design | Light gage metal collector acting only as liquid collector. The open area is extremely high and results in a very low pressure. |
| Application | Typical application is below packed beds to collect the liquid coming from the bed. It cannot be considered a vapor distributor since the pressure drop is minimal and not enough to uniform the gas flow. |
