Sizes and Materials
Distiller mesh demisters are available in a range of sizes, colors, materials, and shapes according to the application and the pressure drop desired in the system. The size also influences the contact surface area, efficiency, and overall performance of the pad. These pads typically range from 3/8" up to 48". The width can range from 12" up to 60" depending on the required surface area. Colors most offer standard grey, black, and white for easy system identification.
The materials used for distiller demister pads include metallic stainless steel, fiberglass, polypropylene, and other synthetic fibers. Each material has its own distinct characteristics such as flexibility, chemical resistance, durability, and permeability. The length of the pad can vary depending on the application and desired shape. It is important to have an even distribution of mesh fibers throughout the entire length of the pad, which provides uniformity and better performance when compared to pads with irregular fiber distribution.
