When Cooling Tower Drift Eliminators Break Down

Cooling Tower Drift Eliminators Comments

Cooling towers remove heat by transferring process waste heat to the atmosphere through evaporation. Cooling tower drift eliminators are installed in order to hold drift rates (related to the amount of water droplets from the evaporation process) at a safe percentage by providing multiple directional changes in airflow without letting any water droplets go to waste.

A well-designed drift eliminator does more than reduce water loss. When your drift eliminator breaks down, you just might find yourself susceptible to harmful chemicals and bacteria, such as Legionella. Because of all the moisture within it, drift eliminators tend to accumulate moss, algae, mud, or slime. All of these can carry biohazards and potentially shorten the life of the whole cooling tower if they are allowed to spread.

This is why it is important to keep cooling tower drift eliminators well-maintained. Amertech Tower Services provides professional repair services for cooling towers. Visit AmertechTower.com to learn more about their services.
