Regarding the simulation of tower top condensation
Thread Content
I’m sorry, I have a question. We have a distillation tower; the vapor at the top of the tower is cooled by air cooling, and then it goes through a three-phase separator. The condensed liquid is recycled back to the tower, while the water from the three-phase separator is removed Is this simulated using the column module with a top condenser from PRO2? Also, in PRO2, is the temperature at the air outlet of the air cooler the same as the temperature of the top condenser (1 tray)?
It should work. In the tower, under FEEDS AND PRODUCTS, select TOTAL PHASE DRAW. Is the temperature of the air exiting the water (PHASE) air cooler in PRO2 equivalent to the temperature of the top condenser (1 tray)? Yes, when calculating the tower, the CONDENSER is the first tray. Despite the theory that \"complete solidification does not count as one layer\"
