A mist eliminator for eliminating droplets from a gaseous flow, for instance in cooling towers, comprises parallel profile elements including flow passages with constrictions and deflecting sections for mist elimination therebetween. A droplet acceleration section is provided upstream of the first deflecting section in order to reduce pressure losses while keeping the eliminating efficiency constant or even improving the same.
