MASS EXCHANGE PLATE Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC B01D3/16 

FIELD: process engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to separators of vapor (gas)-fluid systems and may be used in mass exchange processes in chemical, petrochemical and food industries. Proposed plate consists of horizontal sheet with bubbling elements, overflow devices including intake pocket, overflow and drain banks. Integral independent overflow device is rigidly secured in plate sheet opening. Intake pocket is additionally closed from below by guide plate. Overflow device deflector is downed into intake pocket to form clearance with guide plate whereto rigidly secured is drain bank so that its top edge located below deflector lower end form fluid passage, its cross section area making at least that of said clearance. Intake pocket sidewalls allows fluid overflow on, primarily, column walls. Functionally relates elements of independent overflow device create a static hydraulic lock.

EFFECT: higher efficiency, reduced labor input, higher reliability.
