Vane Mist Eliminators

Vane mist eliminators are physical separating devices that work on the principle of inertial impaction. Vanes, sometimes called chevrons, are parallel corrugated sheets held at a fixed distance apart to create a sinuous flow path for mist laden gas. As the mist laden gas flows through the vane, at every change in the direction the droplet tends to move in a straighter line than the bulk of gas. The captured droplets coalesce on the vane, forming larger drops which subsequently trickles down. Depending upon the operating conditions and physical properties of gas & liquid, typical droplet separation ranges from 10 µm to 40 µm.
