Jaeger Tri-Packs® is a hollow spherical column packing constructed
of a unique network of ribs, struts, and drip rods. Its geometry was
totally revolutionary and unprecedented at the time of its 1978
introduction and it continues to be the packing to which all others are
compared. Plastic Jaeger Tri-Packs® are distinguished from other
packings by its superior geometric shape. Their spherical shape allows
each element to roll into the "packed position" without forming void
areas common to irregular shaped packings or those with excessive pins
and appurtenances. With Jaeger Tri-Packs®, there is no need for
allowances for settling and nesting is virtually impossible. The round
Jaeger Tri-Packs® offers reliable and predictable loading of your
tower which means reliable and predictable performance. In addition to
the superior geometric shape, an active surface area is vital to mass
transfer. The unique network of ribs, struts and drip rods have proven
to give the Jaeger Tri-Packs® a distinct advantage in providing
excellent wetting qualities and maintaining liquid distribution through
the packed bed. Some suppliers claim more surface area, but surface
area alone is not an indication of performance. Excessive surface area
can impede proper gas and liquid contact and always results in higher
pressure drop which increases horsepower requirements and operating
costs. The Jaeger Tri-Packs® offers an optimum surface area to open
area ratio for which yields excellent mass transfer efficiency and
reduced operating costs. |
