✦ Synopsis
In power plant technology modern gas scrubbers are used for the flue‐gas desulfurization of coal‐fired plants in order to absorb pollutants such as sulfur dioxide in aqueous solution. For this, the washing liquid is atomized by numerous spray nozzles. The interaction of nozzles and change of droplet spectra has still not been studied systematically. In this work the effect of droplet collision has been investigated. Special simulations performed lead to the conclusion that droplet collision is an important factor in the design of wet scrubbers which contributes to reduce the consumption of washing suspension and pump energy.
