INFLUENCE OF THE IRRIGATION POINTS STRUCTURE OF DISTRIBUTER ON FLOW DISTRIBUTION INSIDE THE STRUCTURED DISTILLATION COLUMN AND THE EVALUATION OF SEPARATION EFFICIENCY BY INDIRECT AND DIRECT METHODS
The results of a study on the effect of the irrigation points structure on the efficiency of separation of a mixture in a distillation column with structured packing are presented. The indirect method on the basis of measuring the temperature distribution over the section and height of the packing in real time is compared with the method of direct measurements based on recording the distribution of liquid flow rate under the packing to estimate the uniformity of the liquid flow inside the packing.
