Standard Vane Packs

Standard vane packs, equipped with wire mesh separators, are essential for liquid droplet separation in gaseous streams. These packs consist of multiple vane profiles that allow gas to pass through. As the gas changes direction upon hitting the vanes, droplets collide with the vanes and are captured by hooks. The liquid then slides down the vanes and is drained into the vessel's liquid section via a tube. Compared to wire mesh separators, these vane packs offer a higher crossing speed, which can lead to reduced crossing area, smaller separator dimensions, and a smaller vessel diameter. However, the smallest separated droplet's diameter is larger than what wire mesh separators can handle, making vane packs unsuitable for high-performance separation requirements.

Vane packs, with wire mesh separators, are the most widely used internals for the separation of liquid droplets carried by gaseous streams.

SEPARATION: vane packs are composed of sets of vane profiles where the gas passes through and, changing direction, clashes on the vanes being captured by the hooks. Liquid droplets slide down the vanes and are drained down by a tube into the liquid section of the vessel.
CROSSING SPEED: in comparison with wire mesh separators, the crossing speed is higher allowing a reduction of the crossing area, of the separator and of the vessel diameter.
PERFORMANCES: the diameter of the smallest separated liquid droplet is bigger than in a wire mesh separator. For this reason vane packs are not recommended when a high separation performance is required.
