The liquid distributor DT 2 has got troughs with lateral notches as discharge orifices. The troughs are fed by a parting box. This makes this type of distributor highly resistant to fouling and expands the scope of application. This parting box is located above the troughs and usually fed by a feed-pipe.

Distributors of this type are usually installed in columns with a diameter > 1200mm.

The distributor is used for liquid velocities > 5 m³/m²h and gas capacity factors up to 2.5 Pa^0.5. The standard loading range of the distributor is 10:1
