MASS-TRANSFER APPARATUS Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: mass-transfer apparatuses playing part of gas filters-driers in systems of gas pipeline control. SUBSTANCE: mass-transfer apparatus includes cylindrical body 1 with horizontal cover 2. Flat porous member 3 from sintered rust-proof material is installed in cover 2 along its axis. Separation member is located in upper part of body 1 and may be made in form of package of perforated cone-shaped plates 4 installed along apparatus axis. Separation member may present a set of contact coaxial vertical cylinders with swirlersand is secured to cover. Lower part of body 1 forms bath 11 filled with sorbing liquid. Bubbling bath is partially immersed into bath 11. Cylindrical bubbling bath has perforated sleeve 8 located along axis of its body 7 coaxially to which cylindrical porous member 9 is installed inside bath to play part of coarse filter, and bubbler proper. It is made of material similar to that of flat porous member 3 playing part of fine filter. Axis of bubbling bath does not coincide with vertical axis of mass-transfer apparatus axis. EFFECT: intensified process of liquid absorption due to increased area of contact surface. 3 cl, 1 dwg
