CE 405Falling Film Absorption Didactic Equipment Vocational Training Equipment Fluid Lab Equipment
Separation of oxygen from an air flow by absorption in a falling film column Features - separation of oxygen by absorption - continuous regeneration of the solvent with nitrogen by stripping - safe operation due to use of water as the solvent and non-hazardous gases - network capability: observe, acquire, analyse experiments via customer's own network Learning objectives/experiments - investigation of the absorption process during the separation of oxygen from an air flow in a falling film column - balance of the process - determination of the mass transfer coefficient depending on -- volumetric air flow rate -- flow rate of the solvent water - regeneration of the solvent by stripping - familiarisation with counterflow process Specification [1] transparent falling film column for the absorption of oxygen from the ambient air in water [2] continuous regeneration of the water (solvent) in a transparent desorption column by stripping with nitrogen [3] compressor supplies ambient air to the falling film column [4] 2 pumps supply water between the columns [5] valves and flow meters to adjust the flow rates of air and solvent [6] sensors rerecord oxygen concentration and temperature upstream and downstream of the absorption column [7] digital displays for all measuring values [8] network capability: observe, acquire, analyse experiments at any number of workstations with software via the customer's own LAN/WLAN network [9] data acquisition via customer’s own network or via direct LAN connection with software under Windows 10
