Medecki, H., K. Wu, AND D. Magnus. DEVELOPMENT OF DROPLET SIZING FOR THE EVALUATION OF SCRUBBING SYSTEMS. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/7-79/166 (NTIS PB80108574), 1979.
Description:
The report describes the development and characteristics of the DC-2 Droplet Counter as used to evaluate scrubbing systems. The measurement of entrained droplets and their concentrations in gas streams is important in pollution control technology. The use of a hot-wire sensor can successfully measure the desired parameters for droplets in the size range from 1 to 500 micrometers. The report describes extensive testing in the laboratory and gives a comparison with results from the Brink impactor. A correlation of results for these two measurement techniques was achieved. The report also describes field tests at four different sites.
