Abstract
Abstract A rod type wet scrubber having two trays or decks of rods that are normally in space relation relative to the gas flow and wherein alignment of the rods is initially achieved by mounting them in a manner that will permit lateral movement and then bringing the two trays together such that the rods are interspersed in contact and accurately aligned with each other. The rods of each tray are then secured in place in their respective positions to thereafter prevent lateral movement therebetween.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
170 words
In a rod type scrubber having a pair of spaced trays of parallel spaced rods extending transverse to the liquid and gas flow paths with the rods of one tray being alternately disposed with respect to the rods of the other tray and with there being means to adjust the trays with respect to each other, the spacing between the rods of one tray being less than the diameter of the rods of the other tray, the method of positioning the rods of one tray with respect to those of the other tray comprising mounting the rods of at least one tray in a manner to permit relative lateral movement therebetween, bringing the two trays together while in parallel planes such that the rods of the two trays are interspersed and in engagement with adjacent rods being in engagement generally throughout their length, and thereafter securing the rods in their then respective positions to prevent lateral movement therebetween within the tray when the rods are are moved out of engagement.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

In a rod type scrubber having a pair of spaced trays of parallel spaced rods extending transverse to the liquid and gas flow paths with the rods of one tray being alternately disposed with respect to the rods of the other tray and with there being means to adjust the trays with respect to each other, the spacing between the rods of one tray being less than the diameter of the rods of the other tray, the method of positioning the rods of one tray with respect to those of the other tray comprising mounting the rods of at least one tray in a manner to permit relative lateral movement therebetween, bringing the two trays together while in parallel planes such that the rods of the two trays are interspersed and in engagement with adjacent rods being in engagement generally throughout their length, and thereafter securing the rods in their then respective positions to prevent lateral movement therebetween within the tray when the rods are are moved out of engagement.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
40 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the rods of both trays are initially mounted in a manner to permit relative lateral movement therebetween to thereby permit lateral adjustment of the rods of both rows when said rows are in engagement.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
34 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the rods of only one tray are initially mounted in a manner to permit relative lateral movement therebetween for lateral adjustment when the two rows are in engagement.
