Abstract
A mist eliminator comprising baffles (2) having capture pockets (12, 16) for droplets to be eliminated from a solids-laden and/or liquid-laden gaseous flow, the mist eliminator being distinguished by the feature that each baffle (2) comprises at least two capture pockets (12, 16) which are disposed and configured in such a way that their orthogonal projection to the entrance plane (E) substantially spans the field of flow.
Claims15
A mist eliminator for removing droplets from a solids-laden and/or liquid-laden gaseous flow, comprising:
- (a) a plurality of baffles (2) each having forward end (4), intermediate (6) and rear end (8) portions, and a plurality of forwardly-directed laterally-outwardly-extending longitudinally-spaced pockets (12, 16) arranged on said intermediate portion;
- (b) means (18, 20) supporting said baffles in a parallel spaced arrangement with the front extremities of said forward end portions being contained in a common entrance plane (E) which extends normal to the direction (e) of said gaseous flow;
- (c) the pockets between each pair of said baffles having orthogonal projections (P.sub.1, P.sub.2) on said entrance plane that are at least as great as the distance (T) between the centers of said baffle pair.
