FIELD: applicable in heat exchange and mass transfer processes or for catalytic reactors with a fixed bed. SUBSTANCE: liquid distributor for columns has outlets 12 for liquid and fine-distributing components each furnished with guide wall 5. A preset amount of liquid in carried to the fine-distributing component through each outlet. Each fine- distributing component accommodates plate component 4 engaged with the guide wall, between the edge of which and the guide wall the communicating chain of capillary holes makes up zone 45 of distribution and drain. This chain runs along the horizontal closed curve. EFFECT: low- pressure distributor is obtained, which produces uniform distribution of liquid. 15 cl, 9 dwg
