Where mist eliminators are used in ventilation systems
Five installation points — from the cooling coil to wet gas scrubbing
Mist eliminator after a cooling coil
Condensate from the coil fins — the classic location for a vane pack
Mist eliminator after a humidifier
Aerosol drops — yes; steam is not a mist eliminator task
Mist eliminator in a spray chamber
A separator at the spray chamber outlet — nozzles and a curtain of drops
Mist eliminator in wet gas scrubbing
Scrubber → separator: an aggressive medium dictates the materials
Four calculations to run before writing to a supplier
Each tool is a separate page with its formula, worked example and limits. All calculations run locally in your browser.
| Tool | Input | Result | What it does not do |
|---|---|---|---|
| Airflow velocity | Q, W, H (+ k_open) | v_face, A_face; v_free with k | does not replace the model datasheet velocity |
| Required section | Q, v_target (± W or H) | A_req, H_min / W_min | never inserts a “recommended velocity” |
| Pressure drop ΔP | ζ (from source), ρ, v_ref | ΔP, Pa | no ζ — no result; invents no curves |
| Energy impact of ΔP | Q, ΔP, hours, η | power and energy/year | does not replace the electricity bill |
