A set of new experimental data was obtained by investigating the performances of commercial high efficiency mist eliminators. The experimental results showed that the new family of separators allow achieving smaller dp100 compared to common metal wire mesh when both geometrical charateristics of the unit and working conditions are kept fixed. The mechanistic model developed by [1] for the common metal wire mesh has been modified in order to take into account the different geometrical characteristics. The results show that the modified model allows the measured efficiency to be predicted with sufficient accuracy, notwithstanding that no adjustable parameters are used.

Abstract
A set of new experimental data was obtained by investigating the performances of commercial high efficiency mist eliminators. The experimental results showed that the new family of separators allow achieving smaller dp100 compared to common metal wire mesh when both geometrical charateristics of the unit and working conditions are kept fixed. The mechanistic model developed by [1] for the common metal wire mesh has been modified in order to take into account the different geometrical characteristics. The results show that the modified model allows the measured efficiency to be predicted with sufficient accuracy, notwithstanding that no adjustable parameters are used.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
