437702 Choosing The Right Valve For Cross-Flow Trays

Izak Nieuwoudt, Koch-Glitsch, Wichita, KS

Valves for cross-flow trays are typically chosen based on vapor handling capacity, turndown, pressure drop and fouling resistance.  A large variety of valves, including valves developed recently, are available.  In this presentation the performance of a number of valves will be compared and conclusions will be drawn on the range of applicability of different valves.
