Inlet location of the reflux tank
Thread Content
Why is the inlet location for the reflux tank in distillation units different? Some reflux tanks are fed from the upper part of the tank, while others are fed from the lower part
Air is introduced from the top for those with air, and from the bottom for those without air.
Is there feeding from below? Under what conditions should feeding be carried out?
Entering from the upper part of the reflux tank facilitates the separation of gas and liquid.
In the gas separation units equipped with heat bypasses, the flow enters from below, allowing for the absorption of those components that have not been cooled. Enter from above without a heat bypass.
I’ve never seen it being inserted from below. I mean, isn’t the return pipeline a pipe placed at the bottom of the tank? If you can go straight to the bottom, why go up from below?
Full condensation, thermal bypass; the condenser is below the return tank, so flow enters from below.
