The article discusses the issues of investigating the efficiency of separation of droplet moisture of a working fluid from a vertically ascending gas-liquid stream in intensive wet dust and gas purification devices, depending on the relative gas content, the velocity of the gas-liquid stream and the design characteristics of a radial inertial louver separator, which is part of the gas purification equipment.  Within the investigated range of hydraulic parameters of the separation mode, optimal ratios have been established between the key design parameters of the proposed separation device to implement an effective drip extraction process.

Keywords: intensive wet dust and gas cleaning devices, radial inertia louver separator, gas-liquid flow, efficiency of droplet collection
