Cooling Tower Drift Eliminators
Features and Benefits of DRIFTOR®
Description of DRIFTOR® Many cooling towers contain the standard chevron design drift eliminators or high velocity drift eliminators. DRIFTOR® Drift Eliminators are comprised of two sets of uniquely interlaced monofilaments, each forming a V-shaped arrangement. This monofilament drift eliminator is fabricated from 16-mil (0.41 mm) or 37-mil (0.95 mm) diameter polypropylene monofilaments filled with carbon black. This material resists ultraviolet deterioration by sunlight. Pluggage and fouling in the cooling tower fill or drift eliminator, irregular air flow patterns, or damaged/chipped drift eliminator blades can cause carry-over from the tower. The DRIFTOR® Drift Eliminators can be installed right over existing drift eliminators to collect the drift carry-over regardless of the cause. The DRIFTOR® Drift Eliminator can often be installed while the tower is in continuous operation preventing long expensive outages often associated with correcting the carry-over.
