Pipe Ladder Distributors
This type of distributor is usually designed for a head loss of 1.5m. The header pipe and laterals run full of liquid and hence the distributor is insensitive to levelness. Pipe ladder distributors are particularly suited for systems with high liquid to vapour ratios.
Pipe distributors, also known as ladder distributors, generally consists of one or more main header pipes with smaller pipes or arms connected to the header(s) to provide complete coverage across the tower cross-section. The header and arms are generally flanged together to facilitate installation and assembly as well as future dismantling for maintenance and cleaning. Orifice or nozzles in the arms and header distribute the liquid into the tower. |
