Absorption In Wetted Wall Column

Absorption in Wetted Wall Column:

Micro Teknik

• Heat and mass transfer during the process in a wetted wall column can be demonstrated and studied by this set-up. The major parts of this set-up comprises:
• Glass column
• Feed tank
• Air regulator with pressure gauge
• Rotameter
• Receiving tray and piping
• Disturbance in metered quantity of fluid and walls of column occurs from the top, as metered hot air flow is passed through the wetted wall column vertically upwards and evaporation in the liquid film around the wall occurs. Different conditions can be stimulated by varied flow rates of water and air.

Experiments

• Determination of the gas film coefficient in a wetted wall column making use of air water system.
• Finding the mass transfer coefficient

Features

• Well Painted structure
• Simple operation and maintenance
• Compact and standalone set-up
• Utilities needed
• Water supply and drain
• 1Phase, 220 V AC, 0.5 kW is electricity supply
