Abstract
The present invention comprises an apparatus for removing mist from a mist laden air stream comprising: PA0 a. a plurality of stacked blades mounted in blade holding means, each blade having an inlet side and an outlet side and being stacked to allow the mist laden air stream to flow between the blades; PA0 b. impact means disposed on a surface of each blade against which the mist and air impacts for removing mist from the air stream; and PA0 c. pressure drop reducing means disposed on the outlet side of each blade for reducing the pressure drop of the air stream across the blades. The impact means is an integrally formed curved arch against which the mist laden air impacts to form drops and down which the drops flow. The pressure drop reducing means is an angled lip which extends along the length of the blade from the outlet edge of the blade.
