Tower bottom exit design
Thread Content
As shown in the picture, why is the delivery outlet at the bottom of the tower designed in a cross shape? This was taken in the tower, please tell me about it, extra points
Can you elaborate more? Don't quite understand
Its function is to prevent vortices from being generated when pumping out liquid. When the liquid level is low, it is easy to pump out the gas phase, causing the pump to empty out, thus causing production fluctuations.
The second floor is correct, vortex breaker. Have you ever seen a toilet fill with water? Affected by the rotation of the earth, vortices will be generated when the bottom is drained, and the center part may be empty, which will affect the liquid level monitoring at the bottom of the tower and the stability of the drain. Adding this thing can break the vortex, which is similar to the function of the baffles in the heat exchanger, forcing the flow to change, so that the bottom of the tower is more stable.
Cross vortex breaking plate ensures stable liquid discharge at the outlet.
The vortex breaker design should have a flat plate welded to the cross plate.
I only know that it is a nest breaker. I only understood its function after listening to the explanation above. Thank you for your knowledge.
