The hydrodynamic characteristic of a new rotating stream tray (NRST) was investigated. The tests were carried out using an air-water/oxygen experimental system in a column with a diameter of 500 mm. The hydrodynamic parameters studied were dry plate pressure drop, wet plate pressure drop, weeping, entrainment, and Murphree liquid effi ciency. The results showed that the NRST has excellent performance in terms of high operational fl exibility. The pressure drop, weeping rate, and entrainment rate remained low even under a high-capacity operation. Correlations of pressure drop, weeping, and entrainment for the NRST were obtained by regression analysis. The results can provide some important theoretical guidance for the development of this type of trays.
