Evening all,
A chemical production plant producing BisPhenol-A (BPA)
This section is with regard to two CONDENSERS in series.....XXXXXX is just the reference numbers for the different apparatus....
"El segundo, el Condensador de Venteo de la Columna Azeotrópica (XXXXXX), que utiliza agua refrigerada a 5 ºC, produce la condensación del agua y acetona restante, excepto una pequeña fracción de incondensables que constituye la entrada al sistema de vacío.
Las dos fracciones condensadas son conducidas, por medio de un ****pie barométrico**** (que se debe mantener debido a la presencia del vacío) hacia el Depósito de Destilado de la Columna Azeotrópica (XXXXXXXXX).
Este destilado es bombeado continuamente por medio de las Bombas de Destilado de la Columna Azeotrópica (XXXXXX) hacia la columna XXXXXX como reflujo, y hacia la Columna de Recuperación de Acetona (XXXXXX), si se encuentra operable o bien hacia PWS directamente." (PWS = phenol/water separation system)

appreciate any help you can all give, best I've come up with is literally
"Barometric foot" !!! but I can't find any references to this, nor 'foot' in a pumping sense, however "pie barométrico" is definitely something to do with pumps/vacuum systems.
TIA,
Neil

barometric leg
A barometric leg is basically a condensate drain.
In a vacuum system that is used to condense steam and condensible vapors through heat exchangers or condensers, the condensate is normally dropped into a receiver tank that is often vented to atmosphere or a low pressure vent system. This creates a situation where the condensate is under vacuum in the condenser and it is trying to move toward a receiver tank that is under positive pressure. The pressure difference is going the wrong way!
To overcome this pressure differential, the condenser must be located higher than the receiver tank to allow enough static head pressure of the condensate to exceed the pressure differential. The piping between the condenser and the receiver tank is called the barometric leg.

Vapors condensed in the spray chamber are delivered with condensing water to the hot-well through a barometric leg.
