GAS LIQUID VERTICAL SEPARATOR WITH BAFFLES
GAS LIQUID VERTICAL SEPARATOR WITH BAFFLES
(OP)
Hello,
we are designing a vertical separator for an air stream with water, the inlet will be through a tangential nozzle, at the outlet a demister will be installed.
we consider to install also two baffles below the demister, what are the guidelines for the baffle cut (percent of diameter or area)?
for the distance between the baffles we intend to use the Souder-Brown equation to calculate the vapor horizontal
velocity.
may be there is also a criteria for the vertical vapor velocity for calculating the baffles cut, see attached sketch,
thanks and regards,
roker

The baffles for me are worse than useless as they interrupt the liquid flow and don't do anything for the separation
I would have thought vertical baffles would be better / needed to reduce any swirl or circular flow and allow an even flow into the de-mister pads and not interrupt the flow of liquid dropping

Also: There's usually a good reason why everyone does it that way

sometimes you need "external" opinion for convincing your colleague.
