Illustrative view left shows a multi-layer AIROL® 320-1 FLOWMAX® mesh section. Each layer contains polypropylene, semi-vertically oriented filaments constructed as a mat of deep dimples. When nested together, extensive filament surface area is created for high removal efficiency. The near vertical orientation of most of the filaments enhances drainage for vertical flow applications. The result is essentially no liquid hold-up, high vapor capacity, and low pressure drop.
