Abstract
A lead-splash condenser for condensing metal vapor from a hot gas stream, comprising a plurality of condensation chambers, spray generating means provided in each condensation chamber, an inlet for passage of a hot gas containing metal vapor to the first condensation chamber, an outlet for passage of the gas from the last condensation chamber, and a stack communicating with the outlet of the last condensation chamber, wherein the stack is provided with gas deflector means for deflecting the gas stream from the side wall of the stack facing the outlet of the last condensation chamber so as to obtain a more uniform gas distribution in the stack, and to thereby reduce the rate of droplet elutriation in the gas stream leaving the condenser.
