Turbulent froth equipment for cooling compressed gases

Results are considered for an experimental study of turbulent froth heat exchange whose construction is protected by an RF patent. Limits are established from test data for equipment stable operation with different methods for feeding liquid into the contact device. Generalized relationships are presented in dimensionless form for heat and mass transfer and also for the hydrodynamics of flows in the equipment. The results obtained are used for improving the construction of turbulent froth equipment intended for intermediate cooling of a piston compressor without lubrication.
