A methodology for the evaluation of cooling tower fan system performance as influenced by drift eliminator design.
Author(s) : BECKER B. R., BURDICK L. F.
Summary
In the use of wet cooling towers, "drift" refers to small droplets of circulating water that are carried out of the cooling tower. Inertial impaction separators are used to strip the water droplets. To achieve peak cooling tower operating efficiency, losses in fan system performance due to the drift eliminators must be minimized. Therefore, an experimental methodology was developed to investigate the effects of two different styles of drift eliminators.
