Abstract
A demisting system used to remove entrained liquid droplets from a gas stream employing radially arranged serpentine vanes. The radial arrangement of the vanes provides flow paths in which the leading edges of the serpentine vanes are closer together than the trailing edges so that a gas stream must undergo a series of direction and velocity changes. Centrifugal forces act to cause liquid droplets to impinge on the surface of the vanes. Surface tension holds the liquid on the vanes as it collects and gravity causes the collected liquid to drain downward and out of the demisting system.
