Mist eliminator after a cooling coil
Condensate from the coil fins — the classic location for a vane pack
Schematic diagram, not an installation drawing.
When air is cooled below its dew point, a film and drops of condensate form on the cooling coil fins; the stream tears them away and carries them into the ductwork. The mist eliminator is installed directly after the coil, with the drain pan and drainage beneath the pack.
Selection inputs
- the operating and maximum flow rate Q;
- the section of the module W × H (depth D depends on the layout);
- temperature and humidity at the coil outlet;
- the drainage arrangement and service access.
Design options
A vane pack is the baseline option for horizontal flow. Mesh pads are used when the droplet load is confirmed by the data sheet. Check the velocity in the section with the “Airflow velocity” tool and record the inputs in the questionnaire.
