CONTACT APPARATUS Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: heat-and-mass transfer processes; dust collection. SUBSTANCE: apparatus comprises tubular element 1 made from elastoflexible material and liquid sprayer 2. One end of element 1 is secured on bearing ring 3 and other end is mounted for rotation and vertical displacement. Spring 4 is mounted on outer surface of element 1. Walls provided with shaped slot 6 in the form of horizontal and includes sections is located on second end of element 1. Passed through slot 6 are pins 9 secured to element and provided with retainers in the form of nuts. Wall 5 is connected with ring 3 by means of rods 11. It is good practice to have spring 4 fitted with radial rods having pins passed through radial slots of clips secured to slider. Pins are passed through inclined slots of spacer member. For twisting element 1, pins 9 are moved over horizontal section 7 and for adjusting the length of element 1 they are moved over inclined section 8. EFFECT: intensification of phase interaction process. 2 cl, 4 dwg
