Abstract

The invention relates to a droplet separating system for gas washers and similar, comprising at least one droplet separating layer and a rectifier layer which is arranged upstream in the direction of the flow of gas. The rectifier elements of the rectifier layer are arranged in the form of a V or an upturned V having opposite inclinations to the droplet separating profiles of the droplet separating layer. As a result, the rectifier layer is contaminated in a slow manner due to the increased performance of the droplet separating system.
