Filling member

A filling member for use in an installation in which different media are in direct contact with each other for separating liquid droplets from a gaseous flow, said filling member comprising a plurality of undulated panel foils having undulations of amplitude and wavelength and set against each other;

• wherein said undulated panels are set against each other, wave crest against wave trough along a length thereof for forming flow ducts;
• wherein said flow ducts have at least two redirections in a direction of flow, whereby different pressure conditions are created across a duct cross-section;
• wherein respective segments of two adjacent foil panels are connected with each other along a portion of a common length thereof, with a remaining portion of the common length thereof forming a slit connecting adjacent flow ducts, defined by the respective segments, extending substantially transverse to a longitudinal extent of said filling member, and having a cross-section which is a fraction of the duct cross-section and is able to provide a capillary action, whereby liquid droplets, which are thrown against said slit by a centrifugal force generated by the different pressure conditions in a respective one of said adjacent flow ducts, are forced into said slit by the centrifugal force and the capillary action and are retained in said slit by the pressure conditions in another of said adjacent flow ducts.
