C-Type Drift Eliminator

The tower is located between the platform where the fan group is located and the water distribution system. Its task is to prevent the water droplets separated into particles in the water distribution system from being dragged into the atmosphere by being dragged by the sucked air. It is assembled into the tower by being made into modular cassettes. The cassettes are mounted without gaps, covering the entire section of the cooling tower (sitting space).

High drop holding capability and low pressure drop are important criteria in its design. Profiles are arranged at regular gaps. The gaps are provided by means of intermediate elements made of PP.

What is the function of C-Type Drift Eliminator in Water Cooling Towers ?

C-Type drift eliminators, also known as C-Channel drift eliminators, are an essential component of water cooling towers. Their primary function is to capture and prevent water droplets from being carried out of the cooling tower with the exiting air. These droplets, if allowed to escape, can lead to water wastage, increased water treatment costs, and potential environmental concerns. C-Type drift eliminators are specifically designed to address these issues and improve the efficiency of the cooling tower system.

Here's how C-Type drift eliminators function in water cooling towers:

Capturing Water Droplets: As warm and moisture-laden air rises through the cooling tower, it carries small water droplets with it. C-Type drift eliminators are strategically placed within the cooling tower's air path.
Interception and Drainage: The C-shaped channels of the drift eliminators intercept these droplets. Due to their shape and placement, the droplets are directed into the channels, where they coalesce and form larger droplets.
Gravity-Assisted Drainage: Once the droplets coalesce into larger water droplets, gravity helps guide them down the channels of the C-Type drift eliminators. These larger droplets eventually reach the bottom of the cooling tower and are collected back into the basin.
Preventing Water Loss: By capturing and redirecting the water droplets back into the cooling tower, C-Type drift eliminators prevent water loss. This conservation of water is particularly crucial in regions where water scarcity is a concern.
Maintaining Water Treatment Efficiency: The captured droplets might contain water treatment chemicals. By preventing these droplets from escaping, C-Type drift eliminators help maintain the effectiveness of water treatment, ensuring proper chemical balance within the cooling tower.
Compliance and Environmental Concerns: Many environmental regulations require cooling towers to minimize water loss and prevent the escape of water droplets. C-Type drift eliminators aid in complying with these regulations by reducing water wastage and potential environmental impact.

In summary, the function of C-Type drift eliminators in water cooling towers is to capture, coalesce, and redirect water droplets back into the cooling tower system. By doing so, they conserve water, maintain the efficiency of water treatment processes, and ensure compliance with environmental regulations, ultimately contributing to the overall effectiveness of the cooling tower system.
