Abstract
A fluid distributor for heat and material exchange columns, more particularly of the packed type, comprising profiled elements (2) of inverted U shape with substantially vertical walls (4), and a base (1) in which are formed a plurality of parallel slots (9). Each slot is covered by one of the profiled elements, secured to the base by the walls (4) in a permanent and sealed manner. The base (1) is a flat plate. Each profiled element (2) is fixed to the two opposite edges of its slot (9) by welding. Each of the walls (4) terminates in at least one foot (7) turned inwardly of the element (2) and parallel to the surface of the base (1), the feet (7) serving to attach the elements to the base.
