ABSTRACT:
An improved, three path, cellular drift eliminator is provided which effectively removes entrained water particles from high velocity moist air streams leaving a crossflow cooling tower fill structure by the use of spaced, cellular, diversion path-defining structures strategically located and arranged to facilitate maximum drift elimination. The eliminator preferably includes a plurality of discrete cells, each cell comprising three air diversion sections along the length thereof in order to divert fill derived air along a serpentine path for drift elimination purposes. The moist air is first diverted at an upward angle and laterally relative to the initial path thereof by the inlet diversion section, and thereafter is rediverted upwardly and laterally of the first diversion path by the intermediate diversion section. The air is finally rediverted in the direction of its initial path, and discharged upwardly at an angle of at least about 20 degrees and not greater than about 60 degrees to the horizontal by the outlet diversion section. Downward draining perforations between the inlet and intermediate diversion sections allow for rapid discharge of accumulated liquid within the eliminator.
