The fluid distribution surface can be used in a horizontal, vertical or angled position and in annular, cylindrical, and hexahedral forms. The mass and heat transfer device is especially compact when sheet metal plates and frames are used as enclosures for the first and second fluid spaces and is especially useful when used as absorbers, condensers, desorbers, and evaporators in an absorption refrigeration machine.

[ I claim:] [1.]1. A mass and heat transfer device comprising:a) a substantially vertical surface separating a first fluid space from a second fluid space;b) said first fluid space containing:1) a downward flowing liquid in at least a partially flooded state; and2) an upward flowing gas within said downward flowing liquid;3) a fluid distribution surface having an aperture formed therein;(a) said aperture in said fluid distribution surface providing:(1) the downward passage and distribution of said downward flowing liquid; and(2) the upward passage and distribution of said upward flowing gas in said first fluid space; andc) said second fluid space containing a fluid.
