What Is the Function of a Mist Collector?
A mist collector is an air cleaning device used for removing MWF aerosol from an exhaust airstream before discharge into the ambient air. Factors which should be considered in the design and selection of a mist collector are collector efficiency, filter life, collector maintenance, and pressure drop. In general, collectors have multiple stages utilized in series. The purpose of the is to provide a stage to remove large particles first, followed by a stage for collection of mist and the a final stage, which is typically a 95% DOP filter or HEPA (high efficiency particulate air) filter.
