What is the purpose of anti-jump baffles?
In simulator tests, two-pass trays flooded at 80% of the rates where trays with baffles flooded. For the tests, the center downcomer width was eight inches. The width of center and/or off- center downcomers at which the vapor could blow the liquid over the downcomer is not known. Koch-Glitsch currently accepts 16 inches as the width where baffles are not required.
