Design of distributor in Aspen packed tower
Thread Content
Dear experts: I am currently working on a pilot-scale project and have encountered a problem. How should the distributor of a packed tower be designed? It seems there is no such design calculation in Aspen? I would be extremely grateful if someone could give me some advice... This post was last edited by HaiChuanDeFeng on 2007-12-8 at 17:43
It’s not available in pro11 either; please refer to “Modern Tower Technology” as well as other professional materials on tower technology.
The design of the distributor also requires careful consideration; it’s not very complex. I think no software is needed – one can simply do the calculations manually for designing the distributor.
That’s right. How is it calculated manually? Could you give some guidance?
Designing a liquid distributor isn’t particularly difficult, but it can’t be explained in just a few words. After doing some research, I found the following materials to be quite useful; once you understand these six articles, you should be fine. http://bbs.hcbbs.com/viewthread.php?tid=7226&highlight=%D2%BA%CC%E5%B7%D6%B2%BC%C6%F7; I have these six articles, so I didn’t go ahead to check whether this really is the same set of six articles I have. But if the author is Dong Yiren from Zhejiang University of Technology, then it’s correct. I had planned to upload them myself, but since they were already available on the forum, I just left it at that. I did a search – there are more such articles available. You can also try searching for “liquid distributor”; other relevant materials can be downloaded as reference as well.
It is indeed from Dong Yiren of Zhejiang University of Technology.
You can refer to several books on towers.
