Flow through Packed Columns Model TH 122

– Mobile, compact, comprehensive, sturdy design.
– Fully instrumentation for experimentation of Double pipe heat exchanger.
– Direct reading of temperature, voltmeter and ammeter measurement

Item Description

Packed columns have a variety of uses in process engineering, waste water and air purification and in biotechnical systems. For example, in an adsorption column the two substances can be brought into close contact using the packing. When used as a fixed bed reactor, the packing carries the catalyst necessary for the reaction. Packing is available in the widest variety of shapes and materials. Observing the desired flow conditions is vital for proper functioning. Wetting, contact time and flow resistance play a key role. These packed column properties can be studied with the TH 122 trainer, and important phenomena such as the wall effect or the flooding point can be demonstrated.
