Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPH09507035
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A device for enhancing contact between a first fluid having a predominant direction of flow and a second fluid, comprises a layer of material generally disposed in a plane that is aligned with the direction of flow. The layer has a plurality of rows of corrugations projecting out of the plane for deflecting the fluids. Each row of corrugations is arranged in a diagonal with respect to the direction of flow so that an elongated vertex of each corrugation in said row is offset from the elongated vertex of an adjacent corrugation in the row with respect to the diagonal. Among other advantages, the offset, diagonally adjacent vertices are highly effective in interrupting the liquid and vapor flows, thereby improving mixing efficiency while also decreasing vapor pressure drop and increasing flow throughput.
