FLUID COLLECTOR FOR MASS EXCHANGERS AND SEPARATORS Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC B01D3/32 B01D45/08 

FIELD: process engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention is intended for collecting fluid, its removal or redistribution over apparatus cross-section, distribution and separation of gas flows from fluid drops. Fluid collector comprises open-top chutes and inclined plates provided with drip extractors atop them, and vertical plates secured at bottom of aforesaid chutes. Inclined rectangular plates have their one ends jointed with top part of vertical plates and opposite ends jointed with bottom sides of vertical plates, and are arranged with clearance with walls of aforesaid chutes. Several inclined plates are arranged closely, one after another, along vertical plates and turned in opposite sides relative to each other. Plates with chutes make bearing grid. Vertical plate bottom section is furnished with teeth secured in chutes. Joints between vertical and inclined plates make drip extractors. Vertical plates are made from porous material on both sides while inclined plates are from porous material or furnished with porous coat applied to bottom surfaces.

EFFECT: decreased weight and overall dimensions, higher separation efficiency, simplified design.
