摘要： A structured packing (2) (which may or may not include a catalyst) formed from a mesh material having pore openings of less than 50 microns wherein the packing (2) is provided with turbulence generators (24) to promote flow of fluid through the pore openings and may be further provided with additional openings larger than the pores to improve bulk mixing.

摘要： Upper and lower mirror image die plates (64, 82) are resiliently supported and have predetermined displacement values for forming vortex generators (48, 50) and foldline crease channels (75, 100) without compressive deformation in a porous sintered metal fiber sheet material (14). Cutters (44) and ridges (73, 98) coupled to the upper and lower die plates (64, 82) form the respective vortex generators and channels. The sheet of so formed material is then placed in an apparatus for bending the sheet at the foldline channels (75, 100) to corrugate the sheet without deformation of the sheet material between the corrugation bends. Fingers align with and engage the channels. The fingers are on plates (128; 130; 166; 168) that are ramped closer together simultaneously while the fingers on two mirror image coplanar sets of plates displace toward each other as the sheet material is folded. Pins on a pair of rotating levers engage each of the finger plates of the two sets for relatively horizontally displacing the plates and corresponding fingers as they are ramped together vertically.

摘要： A low pressure drop, highly efficient structured packing (2) comprises sheet material (4) formed into vertical preferably square channels (54, 56, 58) containing vortex generators (24) formed from the sheet material (4). The channels (54, 56, 58), while vertically linear, are periodically interrupted by the vortex generators (24) providing tortuous fluid paths along the channels (54, 56, 58). The thus formed vortex generators (24) form openings between adjacent channels (54, 56, 58) providing fluid communication between and uniform flow within the different channels (54, 56, 58). The packing (2) can be utilized in fluid mixing or those operations that require multiphase mass transfer, such as absorption or distillation. The addition of a catalyst makes the structure suitable for catalytic distillation. Turbulence is provided the fluids by the tortuous vertical path with low pressure drops transversely and vertically, with optimum liquid holdup.
