PTFE Wire Mesh Demister
PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) wire mesh demister is a type of filtration and separation device used to remove liquid droplets or mist from gas streams. Here are some key details about PTFE wire mesh demisters:
- Material: The wire mesh is made from PTFE, a fluoropolymer that is known for its exceptional chemical resistance, thermal stability, and non-stick properties.
- Structure: The demister consists of a tightly woven or knitted PTFE wire mesh, often in a cylindrical or flat sheet configuration. The mesh creates a large surface area for the gas-liquid separation process.
- Function:
- Removes liquid droplets or mist from gas streams, such as in chemical processing, power generation, and oil and gas industries.
- Captures the liquid droplets through impaction, interception, and coalescence as the gas stream passes through the fine PTFE wire mesh.
- Allows the cleaned, drier gas to pass through while the coalesced liquid drains out.
- Benefits:
- Highly efficient in removing liquid droplets, with typical efficiencies of 99% or higher.
- Excellent resistance to a wide range of chemicals, solvents, and corrosive environments.
- Exceptional thermal stability, allowing operation at high temperatures.
- Non-stick properties help prevent fouling and ease cleaning.
- Lightweight and easy to install in various equipment and ducts.
- Durable and long-lasting, with low maintenance requirements.
- Can be custom-designed to fit specific applications and equipment dimensions.
