Apparatus for treating fluids flowing at high velocity, in the case of gas typically 500 to 2,000 feet/minute, for operations involving mass and heat transfer in apparatus for heat exchangers, for gas-liquid contacting and for contaminant particulate, mist or fume separation from gases. The apparatus includes a plurality of sets of elements such as cylinders arrayed in rows perpendicular to the direction of flow of the fluid. The elements of adjacent rows are staggered with respect to each other. The elements of each row are spatially separated from each other so that open flow space would normally completely surround each element. A partition extends from each element generally parallel to the direction of flow of fluid. Each partition bridges between a pair of elements in alternate rows and is positioned so that it is symmetrically spaced from the adjacent elements of the intervening row. The partitions block by-pass flow of the fluid along diagonal paths between the elements. |
