GEA 2H Drift Eliminators
Reduce water loss and emissions
In all different types of cooling towers, drift eliminators are used to reduce the loss of water and emissions. Above the water distribution and the cooling fills, a layer of drift eliminators is installed for this purpose. It catches the water drops which are carried away with the air flow and redirects them into the cooling water circuit.
GEA 2H Drift Eliminators are available in two different types. The profile (TAP 160) is mostly used in bigger, the chamber types (TEP 130 and TEC 130) in smaller cooling towers.
