Popchenkov, andV. S. Burkat For the most part, the separators used to take liquid drops out of a gas are not very efficient except at relatively low specific loadings. For example, in foam apparatus or packed scrubbers for cleaning the exhaust gases in electrolytic aluminum production, use is made of corner-type drop stop- pers or a layer of Rashig rings. In this case, the solution losses resulting from drops being carried off reach considerable values (0.5-2.0%). Further, it is hard to clean out the solid deposits, dust, and tarry materials that settle on drop traps of this type during operation. In power engineering [I, 2], in apparatus for cleaning natural gases [3], and in evaporation equip- ment [4], use is made of venetian-blind separators, which are distinguished by their higher efficiency. The design of a separator where the shutters are arranged vertically is shown schematically in Fig. i. The liquid drops, carried off by the gas~ settle down under the action of inertial forces into the curved channels on the surfaces of the plates in the TI - Determining the optimum cross section of a venetian-blind separator JF - Chemical and Petroleum Engineering DO - 10.1007/BF01146295 DA - 2005-01-28 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/springer-journals/determining-the-optimum-cross-section-of-a-venetian-blind-separator-YR9an0bmwu SP - 781 EP - 784 VL - 2 IS - 12 DP - DeepDyve ER -
