Confused! How should “upflow” be translated? For example, R-102 A/B operate in upflow mode. According to the dictionary, \"upflow\" refers to an upward flow of air; however, in reality, R-102 A/B contains liquid, and the fluid flows from top to bottom, so it is not a upflow system. Then how should \"upflow\" be translated?
It actually means “full of”. You don’t need to translate every single word
Is that really the case? R-102 A/B are filled up with flow. “Be filled up” means to be completely filled
What was said upstairs is wrong; what it should mean is that reactors A and B are filled with the rising fluid. “Be filled up” does not mean to be full; it means to be leveled off. “To be filled with” is the expression that means to be full.
GUESS upflow refers to upward flow; it is a noun here, meaning fluid moving upwards. Even if the fluid flows from top to bottom, a certain liquid level must be maintained inside the reactor. When feeding begins, the liquid level increases from nothing to something – it’s an upward process!
It should be understood that R-A/B is the upper feed.
The original poster had better give a sentence; it’s too hard to guess.
This of yours should be a upflow reactor, with feeding from the bottom.
