Abstract

Device for a contactor (10) for liquid and gas, e.g. for use in cooling towers and the like, such contactor being built up of mutually spaced membranes (12, 14) forming ducts for the passage of a fluid introduced at the top of the contactor and collected in a trough or channels below the membranes. In order to be able to collect the liquid passing through the contactor immediately beneath the lower surface of the latter, thereby reducing the pumping height without appreciably affecting the flow conditions of the air passing through the contactor, the contactor (10) is provided with surfaces to carry of the liquid which are inclined at an angle relative to the horizontal and are connected to at least one collecting channel or trough (16), these surfaces serving to carry the liquid passing out of the contactor into the collecting channel (FIG. 1).
