Abstract:
1. A gas scrubber, with at least one drop separator level which spans a cross section of the gas scrubber, the gas scrubber comprising at least one edge rest and a plurality of carrying beams, spanning the cross section, for the mounting of drop separators which jointly delimit a free flow cross section of the gas scrubber, and further comprising at least one drop separator for removing drops from a gas flow with a first set of a plurality of drop separator lamellae and a second set of a plurality of drop separator lamellae in the at least one drop separator level which are arranged at an inclination to one another and wherein one end of the drop separator lamellae of the first set is connected to one end of the drop separator lamellae of the second set and wherein the other ends of the drop separator lamellae of both sets are each fixed by means of at least one end plate, characterized in that the end plates are at least of unequal level or non-parallel with respect to one another, wherein the at least one drop separator level is one of a plurality of parallel planar drop separator levels spaced apart in a gas flow direction of the gas scrubber, the gas scrubber including a respective two-dimensional grid of drop separators at each drop separator level supported by a respective edge rest and a respective plurality of carrying beams, and wherein the drop separators of each drop separator level include central-region drop separators and peripheral drop separators, the peripheral drop separators being adjacent to an exterior wall of the gas scrubber, each central-region drop separator having first and second sets of drop separator lamellae of equal length and inclination to define a fully symmetric V-shaped cross section, each of at least some of the peripheral drop separators having a second set of drop separator lamellae of equal inclination to but shorter length than a respective first set of drop separator lamellae to define a non-symmetric partial-V-shaped cross section, an outer end of the second set of drop separator lamellae of the peripheral drop separators resting on the edge rest of the respective drop separator level.
