Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and means for condensing zinc vapor out of a gas. A substantially coherent curtain (25) of cooling metal is generated, towards which the gas containing zinc vapor is directed. The resultant mixture is expanded in an expansion zone (21a) and thereafter accelerated in a compression zone (21b), thus ensuring that all parts of the gas are brought into contact with the cooling metal. Particles and drops are then separated by passing the gas over the surface of a bath of cooling metal (28).
