I am trying to figure out a design for a humidifier / direct contact cooler using gas liquid contact over a packed bed / tray column.The gas to the inlet is bone dry .So i am trying to utilise the latent heat of vaporisation for getting the cold water at bottom .

Can any body suggest me the method for the same & if it is better to use packed or tray column

regards

I would reckon it depend on your cooling requirement. It may be just a water direct injection to the gas pipeline, water spray in the gas vessel, or packed column as you suggested. The outcome of the selection should be cost justifiable.
