Mist Eliminator Installation
General
The Nortec Mist Eliminator is a single bank water droplet removal system installed at a pre-
defined distance from the water entry point. The highly humidified air is to come into contact
with the Mist Eliminator and any un-absorbed droplets of water are removed from the air
stream. The collected water accumulates on the media then descends downward towards the
bottom of the Mist Eliminator. During this process much of the collected water is absorbed into
passing air while any remaining water is funneled to one of two drains via a pre-installed drain
pan. See Figure 19: Mist Eliminator Overview.
The Mist Eliminator is available in standard sizes ranging from 4ft high x 4ft wide to 12ft high x
20ft wide with 4ft increments between. If a duct size does not fall under one of our standard
sizes simply order the next larger size then cut to fit.
The drain pan is to be installed at the bottom of the plenum to remove the water collected by
the Mist Eliminator. The height of the drain pan should be not be any less than 3 inches
(7.5cm) and should extend past the filter bank 8 inches (20.3cm). A drain with trap before and
after the Mist Eliminator is required, shown in Figure 20: For this the duct’s static pressure must
be known. The drain traps must be 2 inches larger than the duct’s static pressure. Ensure that
the drain trap is filled with water prior commissioning a high-pressure system.
