Experimental analysis of the effect of the process on the power of the rotating packed bed

rotating packing bed;  Power;  experimental analysis;  Energy consumption

By measuring the power of counterflow and cross-flow rotary packed beds under different gas and liquid flow and speed conditions, the relationship between rotating bed power and process parameters was analyzed. The experimental results show that the gas flow rate has almost no effect on the packed bed power within the normal working range. The power from dry bed to wet bed produces a sudden jump from dry bed to wet bed, and then increases steadily and straight with the increase of flow; The dry bed power increases slowly with the speed, while the wet bed power increases faster with the speed n. The wet bed energy consumption per unit mass of liquid decreases with the increase of flow rate. The ratio of net power to wet bed power increases with the increase of speed and flow. Increasing the liquid flow rate and appropriately increasing the speed can improve the effective utilization of the rotating bed power.
