Abstract (en)

A heat exchanger for and a method of demisting a gas wherein the heat exchanger comprises a case (2) with at least a case inlet for a gas to be demisted (3) and at least a case outlet for the gas to be demisted (4), a separation structure (6) located within the case defining a first section (7) and a second section comprising a hollow curved volume (8), means for heat transfer (10) housed within the first section; and wherein the first section has the case inlet (3) and the second section has the case outlet (4) and a liquid drainage (16) and a channel (17) having a longitudinal axis directed towards a side of the case (2) to pass gas from the first section (7) to the second section (8) such that the gas-flow is tangential to the case curvature and the gas undergoes centrifugal forces.
