Under what circumstances does the pressure at the top of the tower decrease while the pressure in the reflux tank increases, and why is a thermal bypass used to equalize the pressure at the top of the tower?
I’ve been studying *distillation columns lately. I think it’s due to insufficient cooling capacity from cooling devices such as the tower top air coolers; as a result, the gas in the reflux tank cannot be liquefied, which causes the pressure to rise
