PlasCity manufactures AHU water mist eliminators, also known as demisters, extruded profiles designed to remove moisture droplets from the airstream inside air handling units before air reaches downstream components.
What is a mist eliminator
It is a series of angled blade profiles fitted inside an air handling unit’s housing. As moist air passes through, the blades force a change in airflow direction, causing water droplets to collide with the blade surface and drain away instead of carrying downstream into coils, filters, or ductwork.
Why moisture removal matters in an AHU
Carried over moisture inside an air handling unit can damage coils, promote corrosion, encourage microbial growth, and reduce system efficiency. A properly designed mist eliminator protects downstream components and keeps the airstream dry before it moves further into the system.
What to check before selecting a mist eliminator supplier
- Blade profile angle and spacing designed for effective droplet separation at your airflow rate
- Consistent blade shape and spacing across the full assembly, not just at the edges
- Rigid enough to hold shape under continuous airflow without sagging or vibrating loose
- Chemical and moisture resistance suited to long term operation inside a humid airstream
- Smooth surface finish so collected water drains freely instead of pooling on the blade
- Supplier able to produce blade profiles matched to your specific AHU housing dimensions
Applications
Air handling units, HVAC moisture control, industrial ventilation systems, cooling coil sections, and export projects.
Customization
Available in custom sizes, profile designs, colours, and materials to fit different AHU housing dimensions.
FAQ
What does an AHU water mist eliminator do?
It removes moisture droplets from the airstream inside an air handling unit before the air reaches downstream components.
Is a mist eliminator the same as a demister?
Yes, demister is another common term for the same component.
Where is a mist eliminator installed inside an AHU?
It is typically installed after the cooling coil section, where moisture carryover is highest, before the air moves toward the fan or ductwork.
