Patented May 20, 1952 LIQUID DISTRIBUTOR Claude B. Schneible, Detroit, Mich assignor to Claude B. Schneible Company, Detroit, Mich., a corporation of Michigan Application July 28, 1949, Serial No. 107,237
(c1. zen-121) 3 Claims.
This invention relates to a liquid distributor. The liquid distributor may be used at the top of a tower or column or at spaced points therein or at any other point where an even distribution of liquid is desired. The device is particularly useful in a dust or fume collecting apparatus as means for obtaining an even distribution of liquid over the entire surface of a horizontal plane, a cone, truncated cone, or other such surface.
An object of the invention is to provide a liquid distributor for providing an even distribution of liquid delivered into the distributor. A further object is to provide liquid distributing means for obtaining an even distribution of liquid over the entire surface of a horizontal plane, cone, truncated cone, or other such surface. Yet another object is to provide in a dust or fume collecting apparatus means for discharging an annular stream of liquid in a uniform manner for distribution within the apparatus. A still further object is to provide liquid distributing means, comprising a pair of members equipped with downwardly and outwardly inclined skirts arranged in nested but spaced apart relation, one of the members being adjustable with respect to the other to provide an adjustable jet and to provide also accessibility to the space between the members for cleaning, etc. Other specific objects and advantages will appear as the specification proceeds.
The invention is shown in illustrative embodiments, by the accompanying drawing, in
which- Figure 1 is a side view in elevation of distributor meansembodying my invention; Fig. 2, a vertical sectional view on an enlarged scale, the section being taken as indicated at line 22 of Fig. 1; Fig. 3, a transverse setional view, the section being taken as indicated at line 3-3 of Fig. 2 and Fig. 4, a vertical sectional view on a reduced scale, showing the liquid distributor applied for use in a dust or fume collecting column.
In the illustration given in Figs. 1 to 3 inclusive, l designates a liquid inlet pipe equipped with an elbow II and a nipple 12 supporting a flange l3. Bolted to the flange I3 is a flange l4 welded to the tube [5. The tube l5 at its lower end is shown welded to four standard plates l6, each having a cut-out corner portion I! for receiving the tube. The lower portions of plates The plate It, is, in turn, welded to the upper fiat wall [9 of the cone member 20. The cone member 20 has a downwardly and outwardly inclined side wall 2| forming a skirt on which the liquid is to be discharged. To facilitate the raising and lowering of the member 2|, the outer portion of the skirit may be equipped, if desired, with lug plates 22 provided with apertures 23 for receiving cable hooks, etc.
While I have shown the distributor member 20 suspended from the pipe Ill, it will be understood that the member 20 may be supported from the side walls of a column or tower, or by any other suitable means. Further, if desired, the member 20 may be suspended from the top of a tower by cables or rods engaging the apertures in plates 22 and fixed at their up er ends to the top of the tower or column.
Slidably mounted upon the pipe I5 is a sleeve 24 to which is welded, or otherwise secured, a cone member or canopy 25. The upper portion of the sleeve may be equipped with a ring 26 threadedly receiving a set screw 21. While the set screw 21 or other suitable means may be employed for supporting the cone 25 at a desired elevation above the lower member 20, I prefer to employ a spacer ring 28 for this purpose, and the ring may be equipped with parallel flanges 29 apertured to receive a clamping bolt 30, as shown best in Fig. 3. The spacer ring may be of varying height as desired to vary the height to which the sleeve 24 may be raised.
In the structure shown in Fig. 4, 3| designates a column or tower equipped with rings or bafiles 32. The distributor, comprising the members 2| and 25, is supported over the uppermost baflle 32. The baflles may be of any desired construction and may be formed as shown in detail in my Patent No. 2,197,595. It will be understood that the distributor may be positioned at the top of a tower or column or at any desired elevation therein, or it may be employed in some entirely difierent apparatus where the uniform distribution of liquid in an annular stream is desired.
Operation In the operation of the apparatus, the water or other liquid to be distributed is introduced through pipe l0 and pipe l5 into the interior of the space between the members 20 and 25. The liquid emerges from the bottom of the pipe 15 and flows outwardly between the flat plates Hi to substantially fill the chamber area. The water body is thus utilized, and the stream is discharged in an annular and uniform body through the annular orifice provided at the lower edge of the upper cone 25. With the structure shown, there is a minimum of turbulence and the water stream, after filling the chamber between the cones, is discharged in an annular body of uniform thickness over the distributor cone 20. If it is desired to discharge an annular stream of lesser thickness, the spacer 28 may be removed and a shorter spacer may be used or, if desired, the sleeve 24 may be dropped to a position where it rests upon the plates I6. By the use of the spacer rings of varying heights, the upper cone or canopy '25 may be adjusted to any desired height for controlling the amount of water distributed over the lower cone 2!].
In the operation of the apparatus for certain purposes, dirty water or water containing foreign particles may be used, and this contaminates the distributor means. ticles from the column or tower may find their way into the interior of the distributor-apparatus. Access to the interior chamber between the cones 20 and 25 may be had readily by loosening the set screw 21 and raising the cone or canopy 15 to a position .well above the lower coneZO. After'cleaning or repairing, the upper cone may :be adjusted to: the desired height lfOl the-uniform distribution, of liquid over the lower plate 20.
The wear plate 18 protects the wall!!! of the truncated conevzll while-at the sametimeproviding a sturdy base iforuthespaced-plates or standards: t6.
Thetwo cone members are found :to be extremelyr efficient. in. distributing the liquid with a highdegree'of uniformity. The inclined spaced Walls-0f the. cones. interfere toa minimum extent with the flow of water, preventing eddies, or
turbulence, and the-water streanris discharged 7 details maybe varied'widely by those-skilledin the art without departingf-rom the spirit of my invention.
I claim:

In liquid distributing means, a truncated cone'pr-ovide'd with a'flat' top wall, spaced standards carried by said wall and extending thereabove and providing therebetween outlet sectors of equal dimensions, an inlet pipe having its upper endfixed to-the top portion of said standards'for discharging liquid downwardly and out- Further, 'foreign par- I wardly through the arc outlets provided by said standards, a sleeve slideably mounted upon said pipe, a cone member carried by said sleeve, and a removable spacer member enclosing said pipe and resting upon the top of said standards for supporting said cone member above said standards.
