Why is a liquid redistributor installed in a packed tower?
To improve the uniform distribution of the liquid, enhance separation efficiency, and avoid channeling and wall flow.
The redistribution in the packed tower is to avoid flow bias.
To reduce the amplification effect caused by poor liquid distribution and to maximize the efficiency of the packing, a liquid distributor must be installed in the packed tower to distribute the liquid evenly across the top of the packing layer. The mass of the initial liquid distribution not only affects the mass transfer efficiency of the filler but also influences its operational flexibility. Therefore, the liquid distributor is an extremely critical internal component in a packed tower.
As the liquid flows back through the packing bed in a packed tower, cross-flow and wall flow occur, reducing the mass transfer efficiency of the packing bed
