The Importance Of Demister Pads And Ammonia Valves

Posted by LNT Industrial Engineering Services on March 29th, 2019

Technology has always been complicated and with the advent of the digital era, things are getting entangled frequently now more than ever. With that information in mind, it is evident that an engineering company cannot survive in the long haul and compete in the market on its own. With globalization and advent of digital marketing, in order to make it big all the while staying in the game, companies and component manufacturers need to work hand-in-hand.

India is a growing nation and to boost its engineering sector, engineering components manufacturers are improving their core operations to meet the demand. It is one of the many reasons why in recent years several ammonia valve manufacturers came forward with their range of products.

With that being said and done, let us now dive straight into the topic where we will take a look at the importance of demister pads and ammonia valves:

Demister Pads

The primary application of a demister pad is to eliminate mist from a system that works around vapour flows. The unofficial name for demister pad is mist eliminator that helps in the removal of entrained material all the while keeping the same from entering back into the system.

Demister pads are manufactured using tightly knit or interlocked wire mesh that does a great job when one is looking for mist elimination solutions especially in a centrifugal system. It is very efficient when it comes to collect or rather completely remove swarf and light mist from a sensitive system.

Demister pads come in a variety of filter choices as well as design layouts making the same ideal for a system that demands scalability alongside efficiency. The knitted material for demister pads generally is meshed wire. Instead of using metal mesh, the filter can also be made using synthetic rubber or plastic. The diameter of the wire in the mesh ranges from 0.1 to 0.3 millimetres. The variations in the wire diameter are kept since demister pads are used in a variety of settings.

Ammonia Valves

Ammonia valves find extensive application in industrial cooling towers. It is also used in HVAC units installed in both commercial establishments and industrial plants. The sole purpose of ammonia stop valves is to regulate the flow of refrigerant in a system.

There are two distinct types of ammonia stop valves. They are straight ammonia valves and angle ammonia valves. Both profiles are designed to meet the specifications of a cooling system. Be it commercial or industrial setting, ammonia valves can withstand any operational conditions. The valves are designed to make sure that they can be easily dismantled, repaired and put back together in case there is an issue with the flow of refrigerant.

An ideal refrigerant stop valve should have the following features. Pay close attention for best results:

•          It should be manufactured using high-quality raw material that will make the same reliable and durable
•          It should be highly resistive to premature corrosion
•          It should be compatible to handle all forms of refrigerants
•          It should allow unidirectional flow for the refrigerant
