Wire Mesh Demister

Filter raschig rings and wire mesh demisters are used to separate droplets or
solid particles from a gas stream. The device consists of several rings of low
resistance, rasched-ring style wire mesh stacked together. The size, length,
and width depend on the application and the gas flow conditions. Generally
speaking, the size and length of the demister can range from 3 to 40 inches.
The width of the demister typically ranges from 0.5 to 10 inches.

Filter raschig rings and wire mesh demisters are two types of equipment used in
filtration processes. Filter raschig rings, are cylindrical pieces that fit
over a liquid filter to provide support and form a seal. This ensures a tight
fit, which helps prevent liquid leakage. Wire mesh demisters are made of a
woven mesh that is wrapped around a filter's circumference to help remove solid
particles from a liquid. They work by generating small amounts of turbulence
that trap the particles, while allowing the liquid to pass through unimpeded.
In order to ensure proper functioning, the size of the mesh should be such that
it can effectively capture the particles that need to be removed.
