TOPIC 3
: INTERNAL VESSEL ATTACHMENT

INSTRUCTIONAL AIMS
Trainees must be able;
1. State all components found in
pressure vessel.
2. Explain about an internal
component nature and functions.

INTERNAL COMPONENTS
Internal part of pressure vessel can
classified into several types which that
are:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.

Trays
Baffles
Weirs
Vortex Breakers
Downcomer
Internal Piping
Demisters
Internal Ladder

PART NATURE AND

FUNCTION
1. TRAYS
1. Is a one part inside of pressure vessel
which can be install whether with
welded joint or bolted.
2. Usually the trays will be install inside
of fractionating tower.

PART NATURE AND

FUNCTION (Cont..)
3. Trays should be located in range of
18 inches to 24 inches in
fractionating tower.
4. The function of trays is to split
products to several different product
by allowing vapour raise and reduce
liquid.

2. BAFFLES
1. Almost used in all pressure vessels.
2. Pressure vessel should have at least
3 units of baffle.
3. Usually, its made from straight plate
iron or by round follow vessel shape.
4. Baffle are needed to stop swirl in a
mixing tank.
5. Also can use to reduce sound when
the vessel in normal operation.

3. WEIRS
1. Sheet-iron to form dam in pressure
vessel.
2. Function as place to collect something
products before it can separate to
another product.
3. May be eliminated find out in
fractionating tower.

4. VORTEX BREAKERS
1. Having various and different shape
according to his use suitability.
2. It is made from plate iron and shaped
as a pallet.
3. Usually are simple devices fitted at the
gas or liquid outlets from a separator
vessel.

16

PART NATURE AND

FUNCTION (Cont..)
4. Vortex breakers are designed to:
1. Eliminate gas carry under in
liquid stream.
2. Eliminate liquid carry over in
gas stream.
3. Eliminate re-entrainment of
separated liquid phases.

5. DOWNCOMER
1. Are shaped like pipeline.
2. Fixed to weirs in pressure vessel.
3. It is a component which allowed liquid
flowed down release weirs to other
reservoir.
4. Commonly used in fractionating tower.

1. Formed of fine pipes or diametrical
small.
2. Available in pressure vessel by coiled
up, spiral or winding.
3. Function as heat transfer equipment in
pressure vessel.

QUESTION
1. List out an internal vessel
components.
2. Explain about the function of weir
in pressure vessel.
3. Internal piping available in three
conditions which that are?
