Valve Tray Column | OperatiX - 14
Product Overview
The Valve Tray Column OperatiX - 14 is a glass column, 750mm high and 50mm in diameter, with 7 trays. This Valve Tray Column uses self-adjusting liftable valve caps to control vapor flow across a wide range of flow rates. It demonstrates anti-weeping design through dynamic orifice area adjustment. The column includes 3 input ports and offers both stationary and movable valve configurations.

Construction and Design
The Valve Tray Column OperatiX - 14 is built as a glass column, 750mm in height and 50mm in diameter. It contains 7 trays, each fitted with 1 valve. The valves are liftable caps that cover the apertures in the trays. At low vapor rates, the valves close off to prevent liquid from dripping. As vapor rate rises, the valve lifts, expanding the region open to vapor flow. The valve plate is designed to minimize weeping by shifting the total orifice area to maintain a dynamic-pressure balance across the plate. Valves can be stationary or movable, with movable valves self-adjusting to vapor flow and fixed valves remaining open permanently. The column includes 3 input ports.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the Valve Tray Column OperatiX - 14 used for?
A: It is used to demonstrate vapor-liquid contact using self-adjusting valve trays that respond to changes in vapor flow rate.
Q: How many valves does each tray have?
A: Each tray has 1 valve.
Q: How do valve trays prevent weeping?
A: The valve plate minimizes drainage, or weeping, by shifting the total orifice area to maintain a dynamic-pressure balance across the plate as gas flow decreases.
Q: What is the difference between stationary and movable valves?
A: Movable valves adjust themselves in response to vapors streaming up through the tray holes, while fixed valves remain open permanently.
Q: What material is the column made of?
A: The column is made of glass.
