Spray problems in packed towers
Thread Content
There are 1 or 2 spray towers in the workshop; the pressure at the air inlet is 16 kg, while the pressure at the outlet of the last spray tower is 8 kg. When the spray pump in the first tower is turned on, the liquid level inside the tower keeps dropping – I don’t know why Is it a clogged filler or some other issue? I hope fellow users can offer some advice.
The equipment, pipes, and packing will all hold a certain amount of liquid; once they are filled, the liquid level at the bottom of the tower will not drop.
What the hell is 16kg? 1.6 kilograms of pressure? What kind of system operates in this way? A certain amount of liquid remains within the filler, and this amount is related to the volume of air flowing through it; the greater the air flow, the more liquid tends to remain there. In severe cases, the liquid fails to flow down
The process isn’t clearly specified; it seems that the first-stage spray pump draws water from the bottom of its own tower?
The packing in a spray tower has a certain capacity to hold liquid. The inlet pressure of the first-stage spray tower is so high that there is resistance as the liquid flows downward; it may even be flushed out. This is likely the reason for the drop in liquid level. If that is the case, the water level in the second-stage spray tower will rise abnormally. It does not match the water injection volume.
The tower has just been built and isn’t filled in yet. The level rises once the tower is filled with liquid.
When the spray tower is in operation, liquid will accumulate in the pipes and packing; as long as it remains operational, the amount of water at the bottom of the tower will definitely be less than when it is stationary
