  • Patent number: 8691000
    Abstract: A wet gas scrubber is provided for removing at least one of solid and liquid particles from water-saturated gases with a Venturi zone adjustable with respect to the flow cross-section. The wet gas scrubber includes a fixed lower Venturi plate and a vertically adjustable upper Venturi plate disposed above the fixed lower Venturi plate. The Venturi plates are substantially parallel to one another and include corresponding segments configured to engage in each other. A plurality of Venturi channels are disposed between the Venturi plates and configured to guide a mixture of a gas to be cleaned and cleaning liquid droplets injected into a stream of the gas by a nozzle. The segments of the Venturi plates engage in each other while the Venturi channels are kept free.
