FALLING FILM APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR USING
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18685572 titled 'FALLING FILM APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR USING
Original Abstract Submitted
A falling film apparatus has tube inserts located at the top end of heat exchange tubes. The tube inserts have internal circumferential ribs. The ribs distribute a process flow into a uniform, annual film within the tube inserts and the tubes, and eliminate dry spots, even at low operating rates. This provides greater operating latitude, can improve operating efficiency and can reduce fouling.
