  • Patent number: 5810897
    Abstract: A spray tower includes inner and outer tubes arranged coaxial with each other on a common vertical axis. At the lower end of the inner tube is provided a guide cylinder group composed of a plurality of guide cylinders which are arranged coaxially with each other on a common vertical axis. A guide vane is provided under the guide cylinder group. The guide vane is in a shape of inverted truncated cone whose diameter is reduced in a downward direction. Accordingly, gas flowing downward between the inner and outer tubes is uniformly divided under the guide cylinder group by means of the guide vane so that the divided gases flows upward uniformly inside the respective cylinders. A plurality of vertical rectifying plates may be provided to the guide cylinder group so as to extend radially from the vertical axis of the guide cylinder group for reducing pressure loss.
