INDICATORS OF ENERGY AND SEPARATION EFFICIENCY OF GAS SEPARATORS INTENDED TO REMOVE AEROSOL DROPLETS

Abstract

Abstract: Energy coefficients and energy efficiency criteria for heat and mass transfer devices are considered. With application of these coefficients and criteria, modified complexes for the energy separation efficiency of packed-type gas separators aimed to remove liquid aerosols are obtained. Technical characteristics of structured and random packings are given and calculations of energy complexes and of the power required for supplying gas to the purification are made. It is determined that the spiral-prismatic packing is most efficient among all considered random packings and the spiral wound packing RGN-5 (manufactured by LLC EPC “Inzhekhim”) is most efficient among all considered structured packings.
