Abstract

The liquid distributing device provides for a gravimetric distribution of liquids to mass and heat transfer columns. The device employs a container with pipe outlets, a plurality of individual distributors in the form of manifolds and metering devices between the container and individual distributors for metering the partial flows of liquid to the individual distributors. The device is particularly suitable for columns having a large cross-section and insures a uniform distribution of liquid even where the column or device is inclined.
