Abstract

To provide a mist removing apparatus capable of improving mist-removing efficiency and to contribute to size reduction, weight reduction, and cost reduction in spite of a simple configuration. Air drawn in from an inlet and including oil mist is centrifugally accelerated by an air blower, passes toward a mist capture chamber at high speed. In the mist capture chamber, while the air passes through a bag-shaped non-woven fabric, the oil mist moves along an axis direction of the bag-shaped non-woven fabric toward a bottom by the inertial force and the gravity thereof. Therefore, oil mist results in being further removed from air blown on a filter wall portion on its way in an air passage along the axis direction of the bag-shaped non-woven fabric. Oil mist still remaining in the air blown on the filter wall portion is filtered by the filter wall portion as well. Therefore, the cleaned air is discharged from the filter wall portion.
