With increase in pressure drop (for a given particle size), the dust collection efficiency of a cyclone separator will
Increase
Increase or decrease depending on the nature of the dust
The total weight of a dry plate tower is usually much more than that of a dry packed tower designed for the same duty
In operations involving large temperature changes. (e.g. distillation), plate towers are preferred over packed towers as the packing may be crushed due to large temperature changes
Plate tower is preferred over packed tower, if the operation involves liquids containing dispersed solids
Plate tower is perferred, if interstage cooling is required to remove heats of reaction or solution
