Sadrab Cooling Tower Drift Eliminator: An Effective Solution for Optimizing Cooling Tower Performance
Cooling towers are vital equipment in various industries for dissipating excess heat. However, water loss through fine droplets (drift) is a major challenge that can increase costs and harm the environment. Sadrab Caspian Water Treatment Company — with over a decade of experience in water treatment and industrial equipment — offers cooling tower drift eliminators as an effective solution to optimize cooling tower performance. This page reviews the features, benefits, and applications of Sadrab’s drift eliminators.
What is a Cooling Tower Drift Eliminator?
A cooling tower drift eliminator is a component installed at the top of the cooling tower to prevent water droplets from escaping with the outgoing air stream. These droplets, which contain salts and chemicals, are called drift. The drift eliminator traps water droplets by suddenly changing the airflow path, returning them back inside the tower while allowing air to pass through.

How It Works
Airflow Redirection: Drift eliminators use complex structures such as baffles or blades to redirect the airflow inside the cooling tower.
Droplet Deceleration: The redirected path reduces the velocity of water droplets, causing them to fall back into the tower.
Minimized Water Loss: By reducing drift, the need for make-up water is significantly decreased.
Importance of Drift Eliminators in Cooling Towers
Water Conservation: Reduces water loss by up to 99%, which is especially critical in water-scarce regions.
Environmental Protection: Prevents the release of chemicals and dissolved solids into the surrounding environment.
Improved Efficiency: Lower drift enhances the thermal performance of the tower and reduces operational costs.
Environmental Safety: Helps avoid icing on nearby roads and equipment in cold climates caused by drifting water droplets.

Key Factors for Choosing the Right Drift Eliminator
| Factor | Description |
|---|---|
| Type of Cooling Tower | Crossflow or Counterflow |
| Airflow Volume | Towers with high airflow require cellular drift eliminators |
| Water Quality | Water with high mineral content needs more resistant materials |
| Installation Space | Blade-type eliminators are better suited for confined spaces |
| Maintenance Cost | Select durable materials to reduce long-term expenses |

FAQ
A drift eliminator is a component installed at the top of a cooling tower. Its main function is to prevent water droplets from escaping with the outgoing air stream. By capturing and redirecting these droplets back into the system, it reduces water loss and helps optimize the cooling tower’s performance.
A drift eliminator reduces water loss by up to 99%, protects the environment, increases the thermal efficiency of the tower, and lowers operational costs.
sadrab offers two types of drift eliminators: cellular (honeycomb), ideal for towers with high volume and strong airflow, and blade type, suitable for limited spaces with high durability.
Maintenance includes regular cleaning to prevent clogging caused by deposits, periodic inspection of the structure’s condition, and timely replacement of the part if necessary.
The price varies based on the type of drift eliminator, dimensions, construction materials, and installation services. For an accurate quote, it is best to contact the sadrab sales team.
