The Montz liquid distributor Type S is the industry-leading distributor for extremely small liquid loadings. The special design enables high drip point densities to achieve a complete wetting of the structured packing surfaces even at smallest liquid quantities. This makes it the ideal device for Montz-Pak type A3 wire gauze packing.
The basic design of the Montz Liquid Distributor Type S corresponds to the proven Montz liquid distribution system. Drip tubes are further equipped with drip point multipliers. This allows the liquid flowing through drip tubes to be further split into several smaller single streams while maintaining a sufficient size for the primary drip point. Even for smaller liquid quantities, drip point densities of >100/m² [9.3/ft2] can be achieved through this design principle.
- Metering device: Channel wall orifices and drip tubes
- Distribution device: through drip tubes to “spiders” below
- Liquid rates: As low as 20 l/(m² h) [0.008 gpm/ft2] to 20 m3/(m2 h) [8.2 gpm/ft2]
- Support features: Hangs from support ring with support bracket to allow leveling of every side channel
- Redistribution: Separate liquid collector or designed as a redistributor
Standard Features:
- Spider: A drip point multiplier with lateral slits and seven or more drip fingers per tube to separate into partial streams
- 2.5:1 Turndown ratio for single-stage design
- 10:1 Turndown ratio for dual-stage design
- 60 to >200 per m² [5.6/ft2 to > 18.6/ft2] (depending on liquid quantity)
- Elevated orifices in drip tube provide fouling resistance
- No drain hole required in spider due to capillary action
Optional Features:
- Turndown ratios greater than 10:1 upon request
- Corrosion-resistant materials such as tantalum, zirconium, and titanium
- Liquid Distributor Type S for feeding bundled tube reactors filled with catalytic converters
- Distribution of liquids with high viscosity up to 1,300 mPa∙s [cP]
