Normal pressure drop across the plates is usually below 1/4” W.C. with the slot area being 80% to 110% of the tower cross-section area. The support plate rests on support ledges which are welded to the tower. Clamps and mid-span beams are available as required. Bed depths of 30 feet and higher can be achieved using gas injection type supports.Grid type packing supports are used for structured packing to provide a horizontal contact surface and to prevent distortion of the packing.
