Experimental Study on the Droplet Separation Performance of PTFE Demister

Article Preview

Abstract:

An experiment setup was built to test the droplet separation performance of demister. Different experiments were conducted using various Polytetrafluoroethene (PTFE) meshes. Results show that the separation efficiency of demister is dependent on screen thickness, mesh count. Pressure drop increases with the increase of steam flow rate and screen thickness.
