High Capacity FLEXICHEVRON™ Mist Eliminators Special designs for higher pressure systems. ‘The higher capacity FLEXICHEVRON™ style 250 and 350 mist ¢eliminators rely primarily on separate liquid drainage channels for their high capacity. These designs offer higher allowable velocities and different vane geometries. This results in more efficient mist removal, especially at higher pressures where the allowable velocity decreases with the increasing gas density. ‘The unique characteristic of the style 250 or 350 designs is their “double pocket” construction. Strategically located slots allow coalesced liquid on the blade surfaces to be collected and directed into internal channels shielded from the gas flow. Once inside these channels, the collected liquid is then directed to drains that lead to a liquid sump in the bottom, of the vessel or a seal system (cup). Compared to the unshielded single pocket designs, they also provide higher turndown before noticeable efficiency losses are experienced. FLEXICHEVRON™ style 250 high capacity mist eliminator for horizontal gas flow. ® Horizontal gas flow. 10 Characteristics of High Capacity FLEXICHEVRON™ Mist Eliminators + Custom engineered to fit ony vessel shape + Allow reduced vessel sizes and weights + Sturdy, durable construction + Maintain efficiency at higher pressures ‘Materials of Construction + Stainless steel + Corbon steel + Nickel-based alloys + Titanium + Other special materials available on request How a High Capacity FLEXICHEVRON™ Mist Eliminator Works 1. Double pocket hooks direct the collected liquid (green arrow) away from the main gas stream (yellow arrow). 2. The collected liquid (green arrow) flaws into separate channels (purple). 3. The separate channels move th liquid away from the gas (red arrow), Because the liquid is now isolated from the gas stream and loss subject to reentrainment, gas, velocities can be more than doubled in both horizontal and vertical yas low coniguraPerformance of High Capacity FLEXICHEVRON™ General Design Parameters As with other types of mist eliminators, Using double pocket FLEXICHEVRON mist eliminators, itis possible selection of the proper mist eliminator is, to efficiently remove droplets smaller than 10 microns in diameter in affected by: lean service even at higher pressures. + Gasand liquid properties + Pressure ‘The table and graph below show the capacity and pressure drop petformance of typival desig it ait aie/water system Droplet size separation efficiency will be affected by physical properties of the gas + Desired performance and liquid phases, gas velocity, liquid and gas densities, and liquid surface tension. + Quantity of entrainment and solids To make a preliminary selection: 1, Determine actual velocity by usin Equation 1 (as described on page 7), 2.
