FIELD: separation.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a liquid distributor for a separation device. Liquid distributor for a separation device, for example for a mass exchange column, in particular for a packed column for absorption, distillation, purification or rectification, or for a reactor, for example, for distribution of liquid above catalyst bed in reactor, comprises at least one pre-distributor element and plurality of distributor elements, wherein at least one pre-distributor element is located above the plurality of distributor elements, wherein at least one pre-distributor element comprises at least two chutes, each of which comprises a plurality of outlets, wherein each two of the at least two chutes are connected to each other, wherein the first of the at least two chutes has an overflow device and at least one deflector, attached to the overflow device or side wall of the first of the at least two chutes, wherein the second of the at least two chutes has an upper edge, wherein at least one deflecting device attached to the overflow device or side wall of the first chute, passes from above from the upper edge of the second chute to the second chute so that liquid flows from the first chute through the overflow device and at least one deflector into the second chute, if the liquid level in the first chute reaches the overflow device.
EFFECT: providing easy installation and operation with a wide operating range.
