Abstract

A liquid distributor tray in heat exchange equipment, mass exchange equipment or reactors having roughly horizontal liquid distributor channels disposed in the tray, which channels, via openings, deliver the liquid downwards to fingers from which the liquid flows off and/or drips off. Below the channel base one pot or a plurality of pots are located which receive the liquid leaving the channel. The fingers, which are bent outwards, are attached or formed on at the lower edge of the pot wall. Openings are located above the fingers in the pot wall through which the liquid passes outwardly and flows down the outer wall of the pot to the fingers.
