Fractionation Research, Inc. (FRI) recently installed two windows on an industrial-size kettle reboiler. Using those windows, data were collected regarding pool depths, entrainment, flow patterns and nucleation sites. Several binary systems were employed. A wide range of steam pressures were employed. Video footage will be shown.
