Product Description
The DE097 Blade drift eliminator Modules are engineered to deliver high-efficiency drift control in counterflow forced-draft cooling towers. Constructed with precision-molded PVC or HPVC blades featuring a sinusoidal wave design, these modules ensure superior droplet capture by compelling the exhaust airflow to undergo three abrupt directional changes, effectively minimizing drift emissions. What distinguishes the DE097 from similar models like the DE080 and DE120 is the integrated aerodynamic deflector at the blade’s discharge edge. This design not only boosts airflow velocity but also redirects the exhaust at a 45° angle away from the intake fans—significantly reducing recirculation of hot, moist air.
The DE097 modules are fabricated from UV-stabilized PVC or high-temperature-resistant HPVC, offering exceptional durability under prolonged environmental exposure. These materials demonstrate strong resistance to corrosion, chemical attack, and biological degradation, making them suitable for challenging operating conditions. All materials used meet or exceed Cooling Technology Institute (CTI) Standard 136 and possess self-extinguishing properties, contributing to enhanced fire safety.
