Device for distributing a washing liquid about a washing tower or stripper provided with installations

摘要

Washing fluid is distributed in a scrubber or a stripper to treat a countercurrent gaseous or vaporous stream by spigots receiving fluid from a tray for discharge onto spray pipes underneath a nozzle at the end of the spigot. A casing surrounds the spigot in a concentrically-spaced relation to a point where slots in the spigot discharge fluid onto a spray plate carried on the lower end of the spigot above the nozzle. The spray plate on the spigot includes a base section with a slotted edge section having some of the slotted portions bent upwardly and others bent downwardly while others are completely removed. The base section supports downwardly-extending fingers that extend into space. A frame carried by the casing supports an upper and smaller spray plate above a lower and larger spray plate all beneath the nozzle in the spigot. The upper and lower spray plates each have upwardly- and downwardly-bent edge portions carried by a base plate.
