Resumen:
The knowledge of droplet size distributions in a gasliquid separation equipment is of highrelevance due to the importance of removal efficiency in these systems. Different techniquescould be used to measure droplet size, being one of them the diffraction of a laserbeam. The laser is located behind glasses, being the formation of droplets on the glassesone of the main problems encountered when using this technique.Due to this major problem, different innovative solutions have been proposed and implementedto the gasliquid separation column in order to obtain satisfactory results. A shuttermechanism, a purge gas and combination of these two solutions were tested. It wasshown that the modified technique is suitable for liquid droplet measurements underambient conditions.It has been also shown that the combination of these two solutions reduced considerablythe amount of droplets that interacts with the glasses, allowing getting better data.
