collects liquid into a pool, allowing the vapor phase
to disengage. The liquid then flows directly to a
distributor or into a parting box in a controlled
manner.
In many cases the gallery can be fitted with covers
to collect liquid from a packed bed above, providing
a combination flash device with liquid collector.
