Intensification of Heat and Mass Transfer in a Diabatic Column with Vortex Trays

We used vortex contact devices that we developed and investigated to make a new design of an alcohol diabatic distillation column with heat exchange pipes (as the reflux condenser) passing through concentrating section trays. In column, ascending vapors partially condensed on surface vertically installed tubes, forming reflux. The was then mixed draining liquid flow in placed Heat removed from boiling water film along inner pipes. compared both adiabatic columns fitted proposed innovative system allows increasing productivity, reducing dimensions steam- heat-transfer medium consumption, separation efficiency. Dependences for calculating gas content, hydraulic resistance, interphase required designing unit trays are presented.
