ANORDNING FOR AVSKILJANDE AV VETSKEDROPPAR ELLER FINKORNIGA FASTA PARTIKLAR FRAN EN GASSTROM

摘要

An apparatus for the separation of liquid droplets or fine-particulate solids from a gas stream entraining same in which a plurality of geometrically identical separator plates define flow passages between them for the gas. The plates are formed with corrugations and the crests or troughs of the corrugations are provided with phase-separating chambers open in the direction of the oncoming gas stream. The gas stream entering the gaps at the inlet sides of the phase-separating chambers precipitates the liquid or solids which are conducted downwardly along chambers formed by the phase-separating chambers which are oriented vertically. According to the invention, the successive corrugations (i.e. successive crests or troughs) of each separator plate in the direction of flow are provided with decreasing heights (measured perpendicularly to a median plane through the plate) and the successive corrugations are of decreasing width in the direction of flow of the gas. The inlet gaps to the phase-separating chambers are defined by flanges which extend in the direction of gas flow and serve simultaneously as guide flanges and reverse-blocking members preventing outflow from these chambers.
