VAKUTEC® - droplet separator WH 1
with and without Koagulator (Droplet enlarger)
General information:
Type WH1 VAKUTEC® droplet separators are primarily used when aerosols have to be separated for environmental protection reasons.
- Application: Aerosol separation
- Features: 2 droplet separator packages, coagulator optional
Sizes and performance range
Droplet separators in sizes from DN180 to DN1.250 for volume flows of 1.100 to 68.800m³/h are described below. VAKUTEC® mist eliminators of type WH1 for larger volume flows must be designed separately.
Construction:
The droplet separator is designed with a quick-release fastener. This enables maintenance or inspection within a very short time. The installation direction of the droplet separator unit, right/left or upwards when viewed in the air direction, is adapted to the local conditions.
How it works:
VAKUTEC® droplet separators type WH1 work according to the principle of inertia. The aerosols in the air are carried by the air flow and hit the droplet separator packs. The liquid droplets are guided by the curvature of the profile to the inner surfaces of the profile and discharged into the catch pockets. In addition, sharp-edged elevations are attached to the surface of the louvre profile to remove the residual liquid. The droplet separator can optionally be fitted with a coagulator.
Technical data:
With a uniform flow, the droplet separator without coagulator enables 99% separation of a limiting droplet of approx. 15µ at a pressure loss of approx. 250Pa. With a coagulator, the separator performance increases to a limiting droplet of approx. 10µ at a pressure loss of approx. 400Pa.
