Trough type, the distributor has got long tunnel called throughs with lateral notches as discharge orifices. Orifices are located either on the wall or on the base of the throughs. Elevated metering orifices provide fouling resistance. This type of distributor consists of a pre-distribution through or parting box which is mounted above equally spaced narrow throughs. They are normally placed on a ledge or supporting ring. Through type, distributor can be used with structured packing only. These distributors come with overflow protection.
A trough type distributor is constructed with long channels or troughs that collect and direct liquid evenly over a column's packing material. Made from materials like stainless steel, carbon steel, or special alloys, these distributors feature bottom holes or tubes that ensure uniform liquid distribution. The support structure, typically metal, stabilizes and aligns the troughs, while feed inlets facilitate smooth liquid entry. Leveling mechanisms ensure the distributor remains properly positioned for optimal performance. Designed for columns 900 mm and larger, they handle liquid loads from 2 m³/m²/hr to 50 m³/m²/hr and are compatible with both structured and random packing. The straightforward design simplifies installation, maintenance, and ensures effective liquid distribution in various industrial processes.
