Floating valve trays are produced with round or rectangular floating valves. These valve trays can provide a higher turn down ratio in certain applications. Due to their tendency to control vapor flow efficiently, floating valve tray provide a higher efficiency over a wide operating range compared to sieve trays. These valve trays are used in applications where high turndown ratio is required.
Float valves demonstrate high efficiency in handling varying flow rates. The inclusion of legs serves the purpose of ensuring continuous valve opening to prevent weeping and enhance mass transfer, particularly under low flow conditions. In specific situations, both light and heavy valves may be employed. The floating valve tray features an adjustable opening area that automatically adapts to vapor flow rates, providing a broad range of operational flexibility.
