Investigations on liquid maldistribution in random packings are conducted in a empty set1.2m packed column at varying experimental and operating parameters - type of packing, packing height, liquid distributor, liquid load, and gas load. Used types of packing are metal Raflux-Rings 35-5 and 50-5, RVT Metal Saddle Rings 70-5 and plastic Hiflow (R)-Rings 50-6. Graphical presentation in form of distribution spectra and further evaluation by means of a maldistribution factor provide insight into the influence of different parameters on maldistribution.
