Abstract

Abstract A mist recovery apparatus recovers a mist of water, oil and the like from an exhaust gas produced in the rolling operation of aluminum plates. The apparatus has a shell provided with upper and lower pipe plates and a plurality of exhaust passing pipes extending between the upper and lower pipe plates and, each pipe having a twisted strip therein. The shell has an upper casing and a lower casing, which are respectively placed above the upper plate and beneath the lower plate. The exhaust gas containing a mist flows through the upper casing, exhaust passing pipes, and the lower casing sequentially. These exhaust passing pipes are cooled by a coolant passing around the pipes, so that the mist is removed from the exhaust gas and recovered. The experimentally suitable ratio of the length (L) of the exhaust passing pipe to the twisting half pitch (P) of the twisting strip is from 8-35.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 97 words
A mist recovery apparatus comprising a shell, an upper pipe plate and a lower pipe plate respectively arranged in said shell, and a plurality of exhaust passing pipes, each pipe having a twisted strip placed therein, wherein an exhaust gas containing the mist is passed downward through said exhaust passing pipes so as to separate and recover said mist from said exhaust gas, the inner diameter of said exhaust passing pipe being 25-60 mm, and said twisted strip having a ratio of L/P (length of said exhaust passing pipe/twisting half pitch of said twisted strip) of 8-35.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 97 words
A mist recovery apparatus comprising a shell, an upper pipe plate and a lower pipe plate respectively arranged in said shell, and a plurality of exhaust passing pipes, each pipe having a twisted strip placed therein, wherein an exhaust gas containing the mist is passed downward through said exhaust passing pipes so as to separate and recover said mist from said exhaust gas, the inner diameter of said exhaust passing pipe being 25-60 mm, and said twisted strip having a ratio of L/P (length of said exhaust passing pipe/twisting half pitch of said twisted strip) of 8-35.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 49 words
A mist recovery apparatus as claimed in claim 1 in which said mist recovery apparatus includes a space provided in said shell and around said pipes and a cooling tower adapted to cool a coolant to be circulated through said space so as to cool said exhaust passing pipes.
