Can the liquid level of a kettle-type reboiler be controlled?
Thread Content
My unit is a new amine solution regeneration system; the regeneration tower uses a kettle-type reboiler, and there is an overflow plate inside the reboiler to separate the heated medium. May I ask at what liquid level in the reboiler does the medium start to flow out through the partition? Thank you, please share your thoughts; it will earn extra points.
The overflow plate serves to control the liquid level.
It’s about three-quarters full of the reboiler; it doesn’t matter how high it is – it will overflow once that level is reached.
For something like the overflow weir of a tray, the height of the partition corresponds to the liquid level; you can find out the design parameters by checking the equipment drawings
