Discussion on the pressure in packed towers
Thread Content
Recently, a problem was identified: since the distillation column was put into operation, the pressure at the bottom of the column has always been lower than the pressure at the top. Let’s discuss the reasons for this situation
It violates the laws of physics, causing the instrument to malfunction.
New device! After running for half a year, everything is working fine, and there are no issues with the load
We conducted multiple checks and ruled out any issues with the instruments. We are the first in this field; it’s still kept confidential, and perhaps it’s the first time such a design has been created, so it’s not yet mature
Check the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet water of the condensate from the tower top condenser. Insufficient condensation volume may cause material buildup in the condenser. Check the tower pressure under full reflux or low load conditions.
Is there a problem with the condensate water? The volume of water is 2,000 cubic meters, and the temperature difference is 4 degrees. There’s too much water involved. I’ve consulted several experts, and they all say they’ve never encountered such a situation; however, the quality of the product is very good
At atmospheric pressure or under vacuum for distillation? Is the exhaust pipe unobstructed?
It must be unobstructed; otherwise, the process would have stopped earlier. Negative pressure distillation
