Abstract The present work proposes a new approach for measuring the effective froth height on column trays. This approach is applied to the two-phase dispersion data gathered by a novel multi-probe sensor installed inside a large-scale tray column mockup. A physical explanation of the proposed approach describes how to distinguish between the liquid-continuous and gas-continuous regions in the froth. Accordingly, the effective froth height distributions are reported for the selected tray loadings.

一种估算塔盘有效泡沫高度的新方法

摘要 目前的工作提出了一种测量塔盘有效泡沫高度的新方法。这种方法适用于由安装在大型盘式塔模型内的新型多探头传感器收集的两相分散数据。所提出方法的物理解释描述了如何区分泡沫中的液体连续区域和气体连续区域。因此，报告了所选托盘装载量的有效泡沫高度分布。
