Abstract
A fiber bed assembly used to remove aerosols and/or wetted soluble solids from a moving gas stream includes a fiber bed support and a fiber bed supported by the fiber bed support so that the gas stream passes through the fiber bed moving from an upstream space to a downstream space with respect to the fiber bed. A re-entrainment control device is located within a downstream space defined by the fiber bed so that at least a portion of the gas stream passes through the re-entrainment control device. The re-entrainment control device is shaped to change the direction of the average flow path of the gas stream as the gas stream passes through the re-entrainment control device so as to cause aerosols and/or wettable solids contained therein to be separated from the gas stream by inertial force. A re-entrainment control device and method of use are also disclosed.
