Theory and Practice of a New Class of Equipment for Separation of Particulates from Gases: the Turbulent Flow Precipitator

摘要

The main classes of separators of particulates form gases comprise inertial separators, filters, (wet) scrubbers and electrostatic precipitators, each of which technique has its proper niche and each has its advantages and its disadvantages. In the present paper a new class of equipment, the turbulent flow precipitator (TFP) for gas cleaning is Described that, though at the present only in its infancy, is rapidly gaining popularity because it has some Advantages over each and every known type of separator and it has very few limitations.
