ABSTRACT:
An improved, three-path continuous cellular drift eliminator and method for counterflow cooling towers is provided which gives enhanced water removal without undue pressure drops, and a desirable water particle size distribution in the air leaving the tower, so that excessive water coating on adjacent equipment and structures is avoided. The eliminator preferably includes a plurality of generally upright, discrete, gap-free continuous cells which present three air diversion sections along the length thereof in order to divert fill-derived air along a serpentine path for drift elimination purposes. The third and final section of the eliminator serves to direct the exiting air generally vertically for proper discharge thereof to the atmosphere. The eliminator is preferably fabricated using spaced apart members having planar panels, with corrugated elements therebetween, so as to cooperatively define elongated, continuous eliminator cells. Test results demonstrate that the eliminator hereof gives significantly improved results as compared with a prior cellular-type eliminator.
