Seek design calculations for float valve towers with high processing capacity
Thread Content
I would like to ask: for the design of the overflow device and the fluid dynamics calculations in a floating valve tower with a very high processing capacity (liquid phase flow rate of 75,000 kmol/h), are the methods still those described in chemical engineering textbooks? It seems that many of those conditions are not met, and I’m not sure how to carry out the calculations. Thank you
Hydraulics should remain the same, I guess. The patent holders of tray designs calculate the parameters for those trays using their own formulas; they just adjust some of the tray parameters on their own, and we’re not aware of those details.
