The Drift Eliminator is a mechanical barrier affording significant reduction of water droplets entering the atmosphere via the entrained air. Our Drift Eliminator reduces the losses to the industry standard of 0.005% of the circulating water flowrate. We have Eliminator suitable for all types/ models of Cooling Towers and temperatures.
Wave and Clip Type
Our Wave & Clip type Drift Eliminator is manufactured in PVC (Wave) and Polypropylene (Clip). The components arrive on-site in loose form and are easily assembled by installing Clips onto a Wave and then interlocking the next row of Clips and Waves to form modules that can be handled with ease and passed through Roof Access Hatches to personnel below. The modules are then interlocked with each other upon the Drift Eliminator Supports to form ‘rows’ and ‘columns’ until the whole area is covered. This Eliminator is suitable for Temperatures upto 60°C.Modular Type (PVC or PP)
Our Modular Type Drift Eliminator arrives at site assembled and in easily handled modules of typically 2400 (L) x 600 (W) x 130 (D) ready to be installed upon the Drift Eliminator supports (Note: Other sizes are available upon request). These modules are easily cut with a handsaw around internal masts with no gaps to prevent water droplets entering the entrained air. These modules can be supplied in PVC for Temperatures upto 60°C or Polypropylene (PP) for higher Temperatures.
IMPORTANT: It is compulsory to install a Drift Eliminator in Cooling Towers to prevent water droplets from being ejected from the Fan Cowling at high velocity and falling to the ground where personnel may breathe in the water vapour. This vapour may contain Legionella, a water borne bacteria that could prove lethal for Humans when inhaled.
Should you suspect that your Cooling Tower has a Drift problem then you should have the Drift Eliminator inspected without delay. It is also best practice to Install Drift Eliminator at the Air Intake to prevent water droplets from exiting the tower at the lower portion of the Cooling Tower.
