Flow through Particle Layers- Engineering Lab Training Systems.
Technical Description
Flow through particle layers is widely
encountered in process engineering. In reactors, packed and fluidised
beds are subjected to through-flow by liquids and gases. The separation
of solids from suspensions by cake and depth filtration is another area
of application.
With the fluid mechanic principles involved in flow
through packed beds and fluidised beds can be investigated. For the
purpose, a fillable test tank made of glass is provided, through which
water can be made to flow from both ends. A sintered-metal plate serves
as the base for bulk solids.
Water from the laboratory water
connection flows into the test tank. To investigate flow through packed
beds, the water enters the test tank from the top. It flows through the
packed bed and the sintered-metal plate and passes by way of a
distributor to the outlet.
The experimentation set-up can be modified
by means of quick-release hose couplings. This also enables the flow
through the test tank to be reversed and fluidised beds to be
investigated. The water flows upwards through the porous sintered-metal
plate and the packed bed. If the velocity of the water is less than the
so-called fluidisation velocity, the flow merely passes through the
packed bed. At higher velocities a fluidised bed is formed. The water
flows from the head of the test tank into an expansion tank. From there
it flows into the outlet.
Regardless of the specific set-up, the
flow rate is adjusted by a valve and indicated by a flow meter. To
determine the pressure loss via the packed bed or fluidised bed, two
manometers with differing measuring ranges are provided. The desired
manometer is selected by way of valves.
