Feed Device
A liquid feed pipe is a device for feeding liquid to a distributor or redistributor. Each feed area is used to lower the rate of liquid flow incoming from the feed pipe, to prevent an excessive unstable liquid flow inside the dis- tributor, and to maintain horizontal liquid flow.
Generally, this pipe is attached to the inside flange of an internal column, and supported by the tower wall clip.
A submerged feed pipe maintains a constant liquid temperature in the distributor, and this is also used when more a compact design is required.
