The drift eliminator is one of the cooling tower parts that is used to minimize the amount of process water loss within the cooling tower for resource usage efficiency as well as keeping an eye on the environmental concerns.

Here at Linquip, we have established a strong platform for the suppliers of cooling tower parts and products for the convenience of clients in their procurement process and management.

In what follows, some brief explanation regarding the types, manufacturing, and replacement of drift eliminators is presented.

What Is a Drift Eliminator

A by-product of intimate contact between water and air in the fill is the water droplets that have the same

composition and quality of the circulating water flowing through the tower. These (solid) droplets are called 'drift', and they are different from the pure water vapor in the effluent air stream or solid droplets formed by the condensation of that vapor.

The composition of this process water droplets or drift is hazardous for the environment. Moreover, it is not desirable for the system to lose its process water circulating in it. Therefore, a drift eliminator, which is an ensemble of passageways the airstream moves through to leave the tower, is used to prevent the drift from escaping the tower.

Cooling Towers

In many industrial applications, the amount of heat augmented in the system reaches such high levels requiring a device to dissipate it. A cooling tower is a device that does just that through waste heat rejection to the atmosphere. Linquip is one of the most reliable platforms for suppliers of cooling tower parts and products. We are here to help you meet your technical and business needs.

Cooling towers parts have different components and are made up of various parts working together to ensure the efficiency and proper functionality of the system. These parts wear out over time and require maintenance or retrofitting throughout the lifetime of the tower. In the following, the major cooling tower parts and their functions are discussed.

Components, Parts, and Functions

As mentioned earlier, ensuring the efficient and effective operation of cooling towers necessitates the parts to be in good condition. These important parts are replaced a few times during the tower’s lifetime. In what follows, the major cooling tower parts are presented.

Coldwater Basin

Coldwater basin is one of the important cooling tower parts in which the water is accumulated and directed to the sump or pump suction line.Coldwater basin acts to remove stagnant water and prevent the growth of any bacteria.They could also have heaters in order to avoid the freezing of water during cold weather conditions.
