Chapter2Description
Dispersedparticlesinthegasflowarebroughtintocontactwithascrubbing
liquidtobindthem.Toenablethis,aphaseboundaryinterfacethatisas
largeaspossiblemustbegeneratedbetweenthegas(air)andliquid.The
gasflowisdeflected.Duetoinertia,theparticlesmovetowardsthesurface
oftheliquidandareboundoraccumulatethere.
Inthescrubber,thedust‐carryingliquidparticlesandairareseparatedby
meansofcentrifugalforce.
Thecleanedairisblownoutthroughthecleangasportofthedevice.
