operation
Similar to sieve trays, vapor passes through openings in the tray floor and through specially shaped valves and interacts with the liquid present on the tray.
Floating valves allow for variable vapor flow rates improving turndown. At low vapor rates the valve settles over the opening to reduce liquid leakage through the tray.
At high vapor rates the valve is prevented from detaching from the tray with retaining legs or cages attached to the tray floor.
