Flow Through Packed Bed

Product Code : SCL-CLE-13439

Indian Lab Suppliers supplies the Flow Through Packed Bed (Product ID: 13439) as part of its chemistry lab equipment range. It is a trainer with a transparent packed column for measuring pressure loss through a fixed bed with water alone or with water and air together.

Quick Answer

Pressures are taken at the top, middle and bottom of the column, so the loss across each part of the bed can be read. With water alone the flow direction can be reversed, which lets a fully flooded bed be studied as in a fixed-bed reactor; with water and air both phases flow through the packing. The column has an 80 mm inner diameter, two 500 mm sections and about 350 mm of packing, fed by a pump (up to 18 L/min, 45 m head, 250 W) from a 55-litre tank and a compressor (up to 8 m³/h, 1 bar gauge, 370 W). Flow meters cover 50–600 L/h water and 1–10 m³/h air, with two 0–100 mbar and one 0–300 mbar differential pressure gauges. Please confirm the mains supply voltage at quotation.

Where This Is Used

It is used in fluid mechanics and unit operations labs to compare single-phase and two-phase pressure drop in packed beds. See also Pressure Drop Through Packed Bed (Product ID: 13492) and Hydrodynamics Of Packed Bed (Product ID: 13493). The pump and compressor run on mains power, so keep water away from electrical parts. Browse the full Chemistry Lab Equipment (general) range or related Engineering Lab Equipment products.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the water flow direction be changed?
Yes, when running with water only, so a fully flooded bed can be studied.

Where are pressures measured?
At the top, middle and bottom of the column.

What air flow can be metered?
1 to 10 m³/h, from a compressor rated up to 8 m³/h.
