Abstract
A low flow liquid distributor for liquid/gas contact apparatus having a liquid feed splitter dividing the flow into a plurality of streams, an array of troughs extending across the cross sectional area of the contact apparatus, below the splitter, collects the plurality of streams and further divides the flow into a greater number of streams. A shallow pan situated under each of the troughs collects the streams and has upturned sides with drain openings extending upwardly from at least the junction with a downwardly sloping bottom of the pan of greater number than the streams deposited in the pan whereby low rates of liquid flow are obtainable and uniformly distributed onto a bed of tower packing for contact with a gas flowing therethrough.
