Ceramic packing
Ceramic saddles
Ceramic saddles is one of the most used packing type in heat transfer applications and corrosive environments. The ceramic saddles offer high resistance to chemical attack and thermal shock.
Ceramic saddle packing types are the most frequently used ceramic high-performance packing and exhibit advantages for most applications in comparison with other shapes. The point contacts between individual interacting packing pieces facilitate large cavity volumes, creating a fluid dynamic shape of the bed with coherent film spreading.
To improve efficiency and capacity, ceramic super saddles have been developed. These geometrical adjustment to the saddles improves the surface area contacts and decrease pressure drop.
