The Eurovent Drift Eliminators Certification Programme applies to specific references of Drift Eliminators used for evaporative water-cooling equipment.
Drift Eliminator: Inertial water droplet stripping devices used to reduce the amount of circulating water that can be entrained in the unit airflow and leave the equipment.
Evaporative cooling equipment: Any equipment that uses water distribution and generates aerosols for the purpose of heat transfer.
Drift Rate: Proportion of the drift volumetric flow rate to the circulating water flow rate entrained in the airflow and exiting at the discharge of the eliminator, expressed as a percentage.
Break-through air velocity: Air velocity for which drift losses become visible at any point of the drift eliminator, expressed in m/s.
