Abstract
The analysis of operation of heat and mass transfer apparatuses and dust collectors with a mobile packing (MP) has allowed creating the designs of apparatuses with a combined regular- suspended packing, which allow using the advantages of vortex interaction of flows in the layer of a regular packing with mechanical cleaning of deposits in the chaotic motion of suspended discrete contact elements. The studies of the hydraulic resistance and the retained liquid amount have been performed in the apparatuses with a tubular- suspended and tubular-fountaining packing and their comparative analysis. In order to calculate the hydraulic resistance, the retained liquid amount and the layer gas content, the calculated dependences are presented, taking into account the vortex interaction of gas and liquid flows.
