<p>Gaseous medium such as air containing contaminant particles e.g. paint droplets is moved into at least one substantially continuous sheet of washing liquid at the entrance to a streamline flow passage which accelerates the medium without turbulence. A nozzle 52 mounted adjacent the entrance end of the flow passage forms one or more solid sheets of washing liquid covering the entrance to the passage. The passage has a convex throat 46 so that the gaseous medium and washing liquid entrained therein are accelerated with non-turbulent, unidirectional flow. The flow passage discharges into a large chamber whereupon the washing liquid and entrained contaminants drop out of and are separated from the gaseous medium. <IMAGE></p> |
