Equipment with a relatively large height-to-diameter ratio is generally called tower equipment. Since buildings with a large height-to-diameter ratio are called towers, they are referred to as tower equipment.

I believe a relatively closed device in which a material exchange takes place is called a tower; one or more chemical changes occur during the production process, and in a few cases physical changes occur—as well, such as adsorption—and these are also referred to as towers. If no changes occur during the material’s passage through it, it is not called a tower but rather a tank or something similar.

I think it stems from traditional Chinese cultural concepts – being tall and slim, with layers, similar to the pagodas in Chinese Buddhism; hence the name pagoda

So, original poster, please give it a suitable name. This device needs to have a name, right? If you call it something else, people will ask why it was given that name. If not, then please come up with a more appropriate name

Tall and thin, shaped like a tower, they are called tower-shaped vessels. Functions include separation, reaction, mixing, and so on~

In chemical engineering terminology, a tower is called a TOWER; in Chinese it is also pronounced as \"tower\", and its shape resembles that of a tower as well. . . ;P If you don’t believe me, take a look at the pumps, valves, and flanges. . . How did it come here~~

It’s mainly the shape, the Leifeng Tower!

The pronunciation of English originates from Chinese
