Istilah-istilah yg biasanya muncul adalah :

Downcomer : lubang tempat masuknya aliran dari atas (liquid) ke plate bawah (kita
memandang plate ini sbg acuan)

Downflow : lubang tempat keluaran liquid dari plate (kita memandang sbg acuan) ke
plate di bawahnya

Entrainment : peristiwa liquid terangkut ke plate atasnya karena dorongan gas dari
bawah yg berlebihan, disebabkan laju alir gas terlalu besar

Flooding : menggenangnya liquid di plate karena kiriman liquid yg berlebihan dr

plate atasnya, bisa disebabkan karena adanya entrainment, shg plate atas menerima
kelebihan liquid

Weeping : liquid yg ada pada plate jatuh bebas ke plate bawahnya karena tekanan gas
dari bawah kurang, disebabkan karena laju alir gas kecil.

Cap : penghalang / pengkontak antara liquid dan uap yang dipasang di setiap tray,
bentuk seperti topi yg pinggirnya ada slot utk mengatur besar kecilnya gas yg keluar
keatas

Tray / Plate : lapisan atau level disetiap kolom, biasanya terbuat dari besi baja yg
kuat menahan beban liquid atau cap

Slot : tempat bukaan pada cap yg mempunyai macam-macam bentuk (trapesium,

persegi, segitiga dll) yg berfungsi mengatur bukaan gas yg keluar ke atas shg liquid
dan gas berkontak secara normal

Enriching : bagian plate yg berada diatas tempat masukan feed

Exhausting / Stripping : bagian plate yg berada dibawah tempat masukan feed

Baffle : penghalang yg berada di tengah-tengah tray utk membuat aliran lebih lama
berada di tray (penerapan hanya di reverse flow)

Weir : penghalang yg dipasang di pinggir dari downflow utk membuat agar volume
liquid yg tertampung di tray banyak, sehingga efektif terjadinya kontak antara liquid
dan gas

Cross Flow : aliran liquid datang dari atas (downcomer) lalu mengalir di sepanjang
tray dan mengalir ke plate bawahnya di downflow. Disebut cross flow karena letak
downcomer dan downflow di sisi berseberangan. Jarak yg dilewati liquid panjang shg
efisiensi tinggi

Reverse Flow : aliran liquid datang dari atas (downcomer) lalu mengalir di
sepanjang tray dan berbelok ke bagian tray sebelahnya karena adanya baffle lalu

mengalir ke plate bawahnya di downflow. Disebut reverse flow karena letak

downcomer dan downflow di sisi yg sama. Dapat digunakan utk menampung cap
lebih banyak, L/V rendah, luas downcomer kecil

Double Pass : aliran liquid datang dari atas dari 2 downcomer lalu mengumpul di
tengah-tengah plate bawahnya dan aliran pecah menjadi 2 di 2 downfow (terletak di
sisi kiri dan kanan). Digunakan utk beban liquid yg besar, L/V tinggi

"Means commonly appear such as :

Downcomer : hole as place input flow from above (liquid) to under plate (we know
this as a reference)

Downflow : hole as place output liquid from plate ( we know this as a reference) to
the below plate

Entrainment : even liquid carry up to above plate because excess gas pressure from
below, caused by gas flow rate is too large

Flooding : excess liquid in plate because sending of excess liquid from above plate,
can due to entrainment so above plate give excess liquid

Weeping : liquid in the plate free fall to below plate due to less gas pressure from
under, caused by small gas flow rate

Cap : barrier / contacter between liquid and gas in every plate, form like a cap which
edge there is slot to manage large small out gas to above

Tray / Plate : layers or levels each column, commonly makes from stainless steel
which strong to hold liquid load or cap

Slot : opening at cap have varieties shape (trapezoidal, square, triangle etc) function
to manage out gas throttle above so liquid and gas normal is contacted

Enriching : part of plate have place above from feed hole

Exhausting / Stripping : part of plate have place under from feed hole

Baffle : barrier in the center tray to make flow longer in the tray (applicated only in
reverse flow)

Weir : barrier is installed in edge of downflow to make much liquid volume be

contained in the tray, so that effective is contacted between liquid and gas

Cross Flow : liquid flow come from above (downcomer) then flow in along the tray
and flow to the under plate pass downflow. Called cross flow because position of
downcomer and downflow is opposite. The distance liquid passing is long so high
efficiency

Reverse Flow : liquid flow come from above (downcomer) then flow along the plate
and turn to side tray due to baffle then flow to under plate pass downflow. Called
reverse flow because position of downcomer and downflow is same. Can be used to
collect more cap, very low L/V and small downcomer area

Double Pass : liquid flow come from 2 downcomer then collect in the under middle
plate and flow split to 2 and flow in 2 downflow (position in the right and left of tray).
Can be used to large liquid load and high L/V"
