Abstract
An apparatus for removing droplets entrained in a gas stream is disclosed wherein a plurality of longitudinally extending eliminator blades are positioned in side by side spaced apart relation for passing a gas stream with each blade having an inlet inclined section and an outlet inclined section of opposite slope connected by an intermediate transition section establishing a convex surface on the bottom of the blade and a concave surface on the top of the blade. The convex surface of the blade has a deviation greater than the deviation of the concave surface. The outlet section has a trailing end differing in shape from the leading end of the inlet section and is shown as an airfoil section at the trailing end of the concave surface of the blade. The blades are provided with notches at their ends corresponding with notches in end supporting plates for mechanically interlocking each blade with the end plates.
