Definitions

  • the distributor is of the usual type insofar as it is composed of several closed end troughs and one (or possibly more) parting boxes superimposed on the trough-s.
  • the troughs and/or parting box (or boxes) of the distributor of this invention are fabricated essentially entirely of sheet metal.
  • the tops of the walls are flanged, with the flanges continuous from one end of the trough or box to the other, and the openings for the overflow of liquid therefrom are stamped from the sheet metal inside of the flange area, preferably while the sheet metal is in the form of flat stock.
  • FIGURE 1 is an isometric view of the distributor
  • FIGURE 2 is a section on the line 2-2 of FIGURE 1;
  • FIGURE 3 is illustrative of one type of installation of the distributor in a tower
  • FIGURE 4 is a section on the line 4-4 of FIGURE 1;
  • FIGURE 5 is a plan view of the distributor
  • FIGURE 6 to show steps in the fabrication of a trough.
  • FIGURE 3 shows the distributor 5 resting on the ledge 6 fastened to the inside of the wall 7 of a tower.
  • This ledge may be angle iron (as shown) or rolled bar stock.
  • Liquid from the inlet 9 enters the parting box 11 and overflows from there into the troughs 12 which spread the liquid over the entire area of the bed 15 of packing elements.
  • This bed may be covered by a hold-down plate.
  • Each trough is formed from illustrated in FIGURES 6-10.
  • thetriangular overflow openings 21 are punched into the sheet.
  • flanges 22 are turned in, and in the next step the sides are broken up along lines 23.
  • the inner edges of the flanges 22 are turned down at 24 to give added strength to the trough.
  • the sides are then bent to their final position (FIGURE 10) and the ends 25 (FIGURE 1) are closed by separate closure sheets or by bending an area of the metal which is integral with a side or preferably the bottom of the trough. The ends are usually welded in position.
  • the parting box 11 is fabricated in much the same fashion.
  • the overflow openings 30 may be square, as
  • the overflow openings in the troughs may be any desired shape. They may be V-shaped at any angle; and above the bottom tip may be any shape.
  • the bottom ofeach opening in the parting box and each trough may be provided with a drip lip.
  • the parting box is supported on metal bridges 35 which span the respective troughs and preferably are welded to the flanges on the troughs.
  • metal bridges 35 which span the respective troughs and preferably are welded to the flanges on the troughs.
  • Pins 39 extend up from the other bridges and position the troughs between the end of the parting box.
  • the parting box may rest on these intermediate bridges or the entire support may come from the end bridges so that an intermediate trough will never carry the weight of the parting box.
  • Gaskets or the like may be provided to prevent leakage of the liquid through the holes in the bottom of the parting box which accommodate the studs and pins. However, this is usually not necessary.
  • the ends of the individual troughs may be welded to the ledge 6 or they may be held in position in any other desired manner. Likewise the parting box may be positioned on the troughs in any suitable way. Although bridges are preferably used, as illustrated, they are not essential.
  • a closed-end, elongated, liquid-carrying distributor for a chemical treating tower the side walls and bottom of which are fabricated from one piece of sheet metal, said walls being spaced by the bottom which is integral therewith, with a flange of the metal at the top of each of said side walls turned in and down substantially at right angles to provide open access from below, which flanges are integral with the wall and continuous from one end of the wall to the other, with openings in each wall adjacent the flange for the overflow of liquid therethrough.
