Vapor Distribution Plate

The Vapor Distributor Plate is used when vapor enters the bottom of a column with a very high kinetic energy. This distributor will consume some pressure drop in the vapor, reduce its kinetic energy, and ensure good distribution below the packed bed. The pressure drop across this distributor can be anywhere between 100-1000 Pa (0.015 - 0.145 psi).
The Vapor Distributor Plate is available in any weldable sheet metal, is gasketed, and is supported by a ledge/ support ring. Mid-span support beams may be required in large columns. This distributor is supplied with liquid downpipes or a sump for removal of the liquid.
