Talk:Fractionating column

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

PLEASE use the above + tab to enter a new comment. That provides you a form in which to first enter a Subject and then enter the new comment. Please sign the comment with four tildes like this ~~~~. That automatically signs it with your user name, the date and the time. The form automatically provides subject Headings like those below and enters them in the Table of Contents which will appear below after four comments are posted.

The first responder to someone's new comment should enter the response just beneath the new comment (instead of using the above + tab) and indent the response by starting with a colon like this :. Any second responder, indent further by starting with two colons like this :: and any third responder, start with three colons like this ::: and so forth. If we don't follow these practices, the result is jumbled mess.


[edit] Internal Links

Vigreux column has a link but goes to nothing? Is this preemptive? Did someone have intentions of an article?

Yes, it's pre-emptive. There's nothing wrong with a red (not yet written) link. It happened all the time in the early days of Wikipedia. If you go to relatively new Wikis, you can often see a lot of red links. H Padleckas 02:36, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wrong column drawing

The drawing for the column is not correct. the downcomers must be submerged in the liquid on the tray they are coming down to. BOKAKOB 15:51, 12 June 2007 (UTC)BOKAKOB

Yes, the downcomers should have a liqud-filled seal pan at their bottoms or be submerged in the tray liquid. I would just point out that the drawings are not intended to be fully detailed construction drawings. They are intended to explain how a tray functions rather than get into the very detailed drawings need for construction. - mbeychok 01:03, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
