Liquid Collector
Overview
The Liquid Collector is a vital device used in industrial towers to collect liquid from the upper section and redistribute it to a lower section for efficient processing. It ensures the smooth transfer of liquids between phases and enhances the mixing of liquids and feed streams, improving overall system performance in mass transfer applications. Ideal for optimizing fluid flow and phase interactions in various industrial processes.
| FEATURES | APPLICATIONS |
|---|---|
| Collects and redistributes liquid for even vapor distribution | Distillation columns |
| Chimney tray, flange, and vane designs | Photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) collectors |
| Available in Stainless steel, Hastelloy, tantalum, and more | Solar energy |
| Enhances liquid mixing and feed stream integration | Solar water heaters |
| Based on open area, pressure drop, liquid/vapor loads, and column size Allows multiple feeds, side draws, and cross-mixing. | Solar space heating and cooling |
