Study of Critical Performance Parameters of Mesh Demisters

Аннотация

The methods for calculating flooding rate are reviewed and the results of experimental studies of pressure drop and flooding rate for mesh pads with a specific surface of 366–978 m²/m³ are presented. It is shown that the geometry of the supporting structure exerts significant influence on the phase inversion point. Comparison of the calculated and experimental data allows us to conclude that the known relationships used for calculating the allowable gas velocity for mesh mist eliminators need supplementing.
