FLUID INLET DEVICE FOR APPARATUS Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC B01D3/00 

FIELD: process engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention is intended for simultaneous gas separation and separation of, at least, a portion of fluid. Fluid inlet for column 2 comprises feed branch pipe 3 and deflecting set 1 adjoining to the latter and comprising guide plates 11, 12, 13. Deflecting set comprises inlet zone including feed channels 31, 32, 33, 34, 35 and 36. Note here that cross section of said channels does vary. Said inlet zone may be located in, at least partially, in feed branch pipe 3. Said feed channels change into diffuser-like channels formed by guide vanes 11, 12 and 13. Note also that feed channels have, at least, one and second compartments, each comprising, at least, one central channel 31, 32, 33 and two lateral channels 34, 35, 36. Mind that downward deflection of partial flows of second compartments, below first compartments, is performed by curved guide plates. Column 2 comprises, at least, one fluid inlet. Note here that flow direction set by central channel 31 is directed toward the centre, or radially. Proposed method of operating fluid inlet comprises feeding multi-phase or single-phase fluid therein for fluid to be distributed. Note that said inlet is loaded by high-density phase in the form of fluid drops, that is, a dispersed phase.

EFFECT: invention is intended for simultaneous gas separation and separation of, at least, a portion of fluid.
