FLEXIFIBER® Type IC (Impaction
Cylinder) Utilizing
primarily the impaction mechanism, Type IC fiberbeds are
designed to economically capture and collect particles
in the 1 to 3 microns range. Collection efficiencies on 1
micron
particles will vary from 90% on liquid mists with a specific
gravity of 1.0 to 97% on liquid mists with a specific gravity
to 1.8. Operating pressure drops are usually in the range
of 100-250 mm (4-10 in) W.G. These elements are primarily
used in sulfuric acid plants.
In addition to the standard
FLEXIFIBER Type IC elements, Koch-Otto York also
offers FLEXIFIBER Types IC-K and IC-M Mist Eliminators.
Type IC-K is a low pressure drop,
high capacity mist eliminator. It is typically used in
applications where frequent washing of the element is
necessary, whether it be soluble and insoluble solids.
An example of this type of application is sulfate buildup
in air drying towers at sulfuric acid plants.
Type IC-M is an element that uses
a primary layer of glass fibers and secondary layer of
knitted wire mesh that offers high efficiency and high
capacity, i.e. protection against liquid carryover.
How it works
Direct interception occurs when
the droplet may follow the path of the gas stream, but
is tangetially
intercepted by the target.
