LIQUID FLOW CONTROL DEVICE, REACTOR USING SAME AND LIQUID FLOW CONTROL METHOD

摘要

A DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING A LIQUID FLOW IN A VERTICALLY EXTENDING PIPE (T) WHICH INCLUDES A PLATE MEMBER (1) HORIZONTALLY DISPOSED IN THE PIPE (T) FOR RECEIVING THE LIQUID FLOW THEREON AND HAVING AN OPENING (2) TO PERMIT THE LIQUID RECEIVED ON THE PLATE MEMBER (1) TO PASS THERETHROUGH, A TUBULAR GUIDE (4) DOWNWARDLY INWARDLY EXTENDING FROM THE PERIPHERY OF THE OPENING AND TERMINATING TO FORM A LIQUID OUTLET (7), AND A PLURALITY OF PARTITION PLATES (5) DISPOSED ON THE TUBULAR GUIDE. EACH PARTITION PLATE (5) HAS AN UPPER END (5B) UPWARDLY PROTRUDING FROM THE PERIPHERY OF THE OPENING (2) AND A LOWER END (5A) OBLIQUELY DOWNWARDLY EXTENDING FROM THE PERIPHERY OF THE OPENING (2) ALONG THE WALL OF THE TUBULAR GUIDE MEMBER (4), SO THAT A PLURALITY OF DISCRETE PASSAGES (8) ARE DEFINED ON THE TUBULAR GUIDE (4). A COVER PLATE (3) IS PROVIDED TO COVER THE PASSAGES (8) SO THAT THE LIQUID RECEIVED ON THE PLATE MEMBER (1) FLOWS THROUGH THE PASSAGES (8) AND IS DISCHARGED FROM THE LIQUID OUTLET (7) OF THE TUBULAR GUIDE (4) TO FORM A VORTEX FLOW.
