Calculation of equivalent tray height for packed columns
Thread Content
The tower diameter is 800, the height of each packing layer is 2000, and the packing used is metal Bausch ring packing with dimensions of 38*38*0.4. What is the equivalent plate height? I earnestly ask all the experts for their guidance. . . . . .
Once the filler type and size are known, the equivalent plate height can be determined by referring to the standard material table along with information such as gas velocity. But this is only the case for labeling the test substance system and under standard test conditions. The specific circumstances depend on a series of complex parameters such as the operating system and temperature and pressure. It is also related to the design of the distributor. If you’re not sure, just divide by 2, or by 3. Let’s assume it’s 1200~1800mm.
