Where are the trays of the tower located?
The question is: the tray tower is quite long; inside it there are trays, with spaces between each tray. Usually, there are dozens of such trays. For towers where the packing and trays are combined, it depends on the design; in some cases they are located above the packing, while in others they are below it.
The tray is the main component in a plate tower. It is used to bring two fluids into close contact in order to facilitate mass exchange between the two phases, thereby achieving the separation of components in liquid or gas mixtures. It is generally a circular plate with many holes, and often includes components designed to promote close contact between the two fluids. There are various structures, mainly bubble trays, floating valve trays, sieve trays, etc.
