Abstract: A stacked packing column for heat and/or mass transfer has individual horizontal layers including a lower layer that has a greater density that initiates an accumulation, in particular flooding, and that is 1.5 to 10, preferably 2 to 3 times, greater than the density of an overlying upper layer. The upper layer forms oblique flow channels having lower sections that are more vertically aligned than respective upper sections. The lower sections of the flow channels have a larger cross section than the upper sections, and the sections of larger cross section open into the lower layer.

Abstract: A stacked packing for a heat-exchange or mass-transfer column has a horizontal upper packing part and a horizontal lower packing part below the upper part. This lower part is formed of a plurality of upright layers, some of which are of substantially greater density and have a greater surface area than others.

Abstract: A partition for a packed column or a tray column which can carry out separation and/or chemical reactions has at least two partition elements disposed one above another and/or one alongside the other in the same plane, at least one plug and/or clamp connector connecting together the partition elements, and a sealing profile between an inner surface of the column and an edge of the partition elements turned toward the column inner surface. A fastening device is provided for the partition on the column inner surface. Lateral fastening parts of the partition carry inserts of the column and/or column trays. These fastening parts are rectangular profiles having upper sides extending horizontally in the column.

Abstract: The invention relates to a stacked packing for heat exchange and/or mass trabsfer columns, comprising at least one packing unit (3) consisting of a plurality of packing layers (4a, 4b), the packing layers (4b) having a higher density and thus a larger surface area than the remaining packing layers (4a) of the samme packing unit (3).

Abstract: The invention relates to a stacked packing for heat exchange and/or mass transfer columns. According to the invention one packing module (1) consists of at least two packing units (2, 3), the lower packing unit (3) comprising packing layers (4b) having a higher density and thus a larger surface area than the remaining packing layers (4a) of the same packing unit (3).

Abstract: A liquid distributor for packed or filled columns having a multiplicity of horizontal layers involved in heat transfer or mass transfer. At least one layer of the column has an increased density by comparison with the other layers and is designed specifically for flooding. The specific surface can be greater than the specific surface of the underlying layers by a factor of 1.5 to 10.

Abstract: A heat exchange or mass transfer column in which the packing bed is formed from individual packing layers wherein the sheet metal plates of the packing have different thicknesses.

Abstract: The invention relates to a packing for heat- and material-exchange columns, with a number of approximately perpendicularly arranged corrugated plates (or strips), with the side surfaces thereof lying adjacent to each other. The ribs of the above lie very close to each other and run from top to bottom, in the approximate form of an arc, whereby the ribs of two adjacent plates cross each other and the ribs in the upper region of a plate are straight and inclined to the upper, in particular, horizontal place are straight and inclined to the upper, in particular, horizontal plate edge and, in the lower region of the plate, run bent in the form of an arc.
