Texture influence on liquid-side mass transfer

► Texture influence on liquid-side mass transfer is studied for practical conditions. ► The impact of liquid and gas loads for different textures is investigated. ► Mass transfer intensification up to 80% is possible using textures at high Re. ► Mass transfer tests confirm former fluid dynamic tests by Zhao and Cerro (1992). ► Very useful fundamental data for silicone oils absorbing CO2 are provided.
