Research on Performance of Wave-plate Mist Eliminators
折板式汽液分离元件的性能

The influential factors on the separation property of wave-plate mist eliminator were studied with cold-state simulation experiments by using an air-water medium.The effects of operating conditions such as gas velocity and liquid droplet diameter and structural parameters such as the installation,geometry and spacing of the plate were examined.The gas velocity limit was controlled in 1～6 m/s,and the liquid droplet diameters from 50～80 μm,the plate was installed in horizontal and vertical directions,its geometry had V and W shapes,and the spacing was from 10～50 mm.The experimental results showed that there were some rules on the effects of influential factors such as gas velocity on the separation efficiency,and the spacing of 20 mm was the best arrangement.A reasonable empirical equation obtained by regressing the experimental data could predict experimental data within 10% error.A medium-scale experiment of desalination was also carried out to evaluate the separation property of the eliminator.
