Working
The liquid flows down a plate which has louvre shaped perforations that protrude
from the surface of the plate. As the openings are directed down flow the movement
of the liquid incites a venturi effect in these openings causing the gas to enter
the film of liquid at virtually no positive pressure. As a result of this the gas
does not expand (and escape immediately to the surface of the film) but is dragged
along as long elongated bubbles over a considerable distance of the length of the plate.
This new, patented method provides a very intensive gas-liquid contact, which
causes an optimal exchange of components and caloric energy with minimal energy consumption.
