Process Equipment and Plant Design
Commercial packed scrubbers are normally designed for a pressure drop range of __________ mm water coloumn per metre of packed height.
Horton sphere is used for the storage of gases and volatile liquid at a moderate pressure of 1 to 10 kg/cm²
Horton sphere is used for the storage of liquid at sub-zero temperature at very high pressure upto 200 kg/cm²
Thickness of spherical shell is half that of the cylinderical vessel under same operating pressure condition. Besides, the ratio of surface area to volume is less for sphere than any other shape ; hen
Diameter of Horton sphere is normally 6 to 25 metres and it is supported by 6 to 12 nos. tubular or rolled section column
