CY500 filler properties
Thread Content
The design institute has designed a distillation tower for our company, choosing the CY500 type of packing. Has anyone used this type of packing in previous designs? Could you provide the relevant performance parameters for this packing? I would be very grateful. This post was last edited by jhshuai on 2008-2-29 11:12.]
This is included in general manuals, such as the \"Modern Packed Tower Technology Guide\", and it’s also available in Aspen!
See http://www.chinahuge.net/pages/p12.html
The webpage provided upstairs only has information on the CY700, not the CY500.
There are also some in the petrochemical design manuals. There are download links on the forum
Model CY500-YY: Packing material, model and texture, peak height in mm, specific surface area in m2/m3, hydraulic diameter in dh mm, inclination angle in degrees ω, porosity ε%, F factor in m/s, theoretical number of theoretical plates per meter No/m, pressure drop in mmHg/m. CY: Stainless steel; 4.37, 005, 45°, 87–90, 1.3–2.46, 6–95. BX: 6.35, 007.33, 0°, 95, 2–2.44, 51.5
The parameters listed above are for the BX500 and CY700, right? Not for the CY500?
I checked several reference books, and the information in them was the same as what my friend on the sixth floor said. The structured packing available in the Sulzer software includes CY and BX types of packing; CY stands for CY700, while BX stands for BX500. There should be no use of a filler like CY500; for a specific surface area of 500, BX is generally the preferred choice
