CA 2498135

Vapor and liquid passing downward through a vessel are brought into contact within a plurality of distributor assemblies (1) arranged across a horizontal distribution tray (14) located within the vessel. The distributor assemblies have fluid flow paths with different resistances to fluid flow, as by having vapor inlets (4, 5) of at least two different sizes, with the differently sized inlets being located on different assemblies or on different upflow channels (15, 16) of the same assembly. This provides different vapor flow rates and liquid flow rates in different upflow channels. The invention improves the uniformity of liquid distribution over the cross section of the vessel despite elevational differences in liquid levels on the distribution tray or changes in the vapor and or liquid flow rates through the reactor.

La vapeur et le liquide traversant en aval un récipient entrent en contact au sein d'une pluralité d'ensembles distributeurs (1) disposés à travers une plaque de distribution horizontale (14) placée au sein du récipient. Les ensembles distributeurs présentent des trajets d'écoulement fluide (15, 16) ayant différentes résistances à l'écoulement fluide, grâce aux entrées de vapeur d'au moins deux tailles différentes, les entrées aux dimensions différentes étant pratiquées sur différents ensembles ou différents canaux d'écoulement ascendant du même ensemble. Ainsi, on assure différents débits d'écoulement de vapeur et différents débits d'écoulement liquide dans différents canaux ascendants. L'invention permet d'améliorer l'uniformité de la distribution de liquide sur la section transversale du récipient malgré les différences d'élévation des niveaux de liquides sur la plaque de distribution ou malgré les modifications que subissent les débits d'écoulement de vapeur et/ou de liquide traversant le réacteur.
