Pressure drop through bubble cap column
Pressure drop through bubble cap column
(OP)
I am looking to buy a used column, 1m x 14m bubble cap 42 caps, 52 trays.
I have no history of this column etc, is it possible to calculate pressure drop through this column or can it be only done from actual data.
All I am after is a ball park figure.

RE: Pressure drop through bubble cap column
Our current column is 1m x 12m 34 actual plates 20 theoretical. i.e 60% effeicent.
Taking this 60% effency as a ballpark figure, can I assume that my new one of 52 plates has 31 theoretical?
Rough figure needed!
RE: Pressure drop through bubble cap column
Tray effiency is a design variable for the trays and is quite complex. Typical ranges are 40% to 80%, so 60% isn't an unreasonable value.
