Abstract
Abstract A rotor film mass and heat exchanger comprises a casing of a circular cross section with liquid and gas inlet pipe connections at one end and with liquid and gas outlet pipe connections at the other. Installed coaxially and rotatably in the casing is a shaft carrying reflux stages which are formed by bands bent as spirals diverging from said shaft and flanged towards the latter. The exchanger is provided with refluxing devices for moving the liquid from one reflux stage to another, said devices being made in the form of a spray collector secured to the inner surface of the casing and intended to receive the liquid thrown off from any one reflux stage; said spray collector is constituted by a circular trough embracing the reflux stage and having in its inner space a partition connected with the periphery of the reflux stage, arranged across the circular trough, and an overflow pipe whose inlet end communicates with the spray collector whereas its outlet end is brought to another reflux stage to which the liquid is to be delivered.

A rotor film mass exchanger comprising: a casing of a circular cross section arranged substantially horizontally and having liquid and gas inlet and outlet pipe connections; a shaft installed rotatably in said casing coaxially with the latter; reflux stages secured to said shaft; bands forming said reflux stages, bent in the form of spirals diverging from said shaft and flanged toward the latter; refluxing devices for moving the liquid from one of said reflux stages to another; a spray collector for each of said refluxing devices formed as a circular trough secured to the inner surface of the casing, embracing the reflux stage, said collector being adapted to receive the liquid thrown off from said reflux stage; at least one partition for each of said refluxing devices, said partition being connected with the periphery of the reflux stage, and across it; a wall means defining a longitudinal chamber for said refluxing devices, a side wall connected to said wall means, the chamber adjoning the bottom of said circular trough on the outside being disposed higher than the casing axis and provided at the top with an inlet hole for communication with the inner space of the circular trough; and an outlet hole in the lower part, said inlet hole of the chamber being larger than its outlet hole; an overflow pipe in each of said refluxing devices; said inlet end of said overflow pipe communicating with said outlet hole of the chamber; and the outlet end of said overflow pipe being at the reflux stage to which the liquid is to be delivered.
