PURPOSE: To provide a fluid collector which is simple in construction and provides less turbulence to fluid than in the prior art by using a partition plate or the like which allows the passage of the fluid but prohibits the passage of packing in forming the face A that forms a cavity in the device and a solid part connecting to a fluid inlet and outlet in forming the face B and forming the greater part of the faces A, B in parallel.
CONSTITUTION: A fluid collector to be installed in a packed column is provided internally with a cavity, and one of the face A of the two faces forming said cavity is formed of a partition plate or the like which allows the passage of fluid but prohibits the passage of packing material. On the other hand, the face B is formed of a solid part connecting to a fluid inlet and outlet and facing the face A. The faces A, B are formed in parallel at a narrow space at ≥95% of the representative cross section of said cavity. The value K defined by K=ls/ D2/3 wherein the inside diameter of the packed column in this fluid separator is Dcm and the space in the parallel part of the two faces A and B in the cavity is ls cm is preferably set at 0.01≤K≤0.04 as the turbulence of flow to be generated when fluid passes this fluid separator is decreased at said value.
