What is the pressure drop of a tubular acid separator?
Thread Content
I would like to ask, what is the pressure loss when using a tubular acid separator? Choose the head of the pump. Is a pressure loss of 10m sufficient?
Pipe resistance and pressure difference also need to be taken into account.
All of these factors will be taken into consideration; just the resistance of the acid distributor – do you have any experience with that?
Which form was chosen? Could you be more specific?
I’m not very familiar with the specific types of acid distributors; I’ve just read some literature recently and learned a bit about them. My tower is relatively small, with a DN1000 diameter. I would like to use a tubular acid separation unit – one main pipe enters, and it is divided into several outlet pipes at a rate of 40 points per m2. I’m not sure if the description is too amateurish
A acid distributor with a diameter of 1 meter, featuring 40 units per square meter – it’s really hard to find such one
One thing that might be useful as a reference is that, after all, tubular systems consist of circular tubes, so the resistance to gas flow is very low; there are almost no vortices that cause resistance to gas flow
Do you have any suggestions regarding the pressure drop in the liquid phase (sulfuric acid)?
As for the pressure drop in the liquid phase (sulfuric acid), it depends on how the manufacturer designs it; if the design is good, there will be no pressure drop in the liquid phase, and instead siphoning effect will occur to assist the acid pump in performing its function
The ones you’re using now are all bottom-firing
