APPENDIX (cont.)
means for spraying a liquid into the passage such
that the liquid flows downwardly through the passage
and contacts the flue gases therein, an annular-shaped
region of the passage nearest the wall being
characterized by a lower concentration of the liquid
from the spraying means; and
at least one deflecting member projecting into the
passage from the wall at an oblique angle to the wall
for deflecting the liquid away from the wall and
respraying a portion of the liquid as droplets into the
passage, each of the at least one deflecting member
being located below at least one of the spraying means,
each of the at least one deflecting member having
unobstructed holes therethrough through which the flue
gases flow upwardly to introduce at least some of the
portion of the liquid as droplets into the passage, the
holes being sized to permit some of the liquid to flow
therethrough as droplets such that the liquid is
reintroduced as droplets into the annular-shaped region
of the passage below the at least one deflecting
member, the at least one deflecting member further
reintroducing some of the portion of the liquid a
distance from the wall.
