Abstract

Abstract The performance of a hot wire type thermal separation column in which many horizontal barriers of Teflon or copper plates are installed has been examined. At the optimum spacing of barrier plates, the quality factor defined by (2AL)barrier/(2AL)open exceeds 3. This means that a barrier column constructed properly has a performance equivalent to that of an open column of three times taller in height. Visualization of a stream line in the barrier assembly indicates that a helical transverse motion takes place in the space partitioned by two adjacent barrier plates.
