CDX-80 DRIFT ELIMINATOR FOR CROSS & COUNTER FLOW COOLING TOWERS

CROSS FLOW COUNTER FLOW

AccuPac® CELLULAR DRIFT ELIMINATORS

DESIGN: CDX-80 Drift eliminators utilize a series of sinusoidal-shaped corrugations bonded to mating sinusoidal
structural waves to form closed cells that force the leaving airstream to make three distinct changes in direction. The drift
droplets carried in the airstream, when forced to make the changes in direction in each cell, create centrifugal forces on
the drift droplets, forcing them to be captured by inertial impaction and direct interception. The high surface area of
cellular eliminators and these unique design features, ensures state-of-the-art drift removal efficiency.

STRENGTH: Because this design utilizes structural waves between the corrugated cells, these drift eliminators can be
manufactured to meet span requirements up to 2.4m. This improvement in strength and span capabilities reduces the net
blockage of air due to additional support beams. Additionally, these drift eliminators can be field cut for a tight fit around
columns and other structure without sacrificing any structural integrity.

PERFORMANCE: The CDX-80 is designed to meet the most stringent specifications where very low drift levels are
required. The drift removal efficiency of this product is unequaled in the industry. CDX-80 in designed for applications in
either cross flow or counter flow cooling towers.

DRAINAGE CHANNELS: Our unique design for cross flow applications allows captured drift droplets to be removed as a
film of water through drainage channels. Once drift droplets are captured on the side walls of the eliminator, they form a
film of water that flows down the wall via gravity to the drainage channels and then out the bottom of the eliminator,
reducing the opportunity for rein-trainment. Other manufacturers' designs force the captured water to the face of the
eliminator where it trickles down the edge, allowing more opportunities for reintrainment as drift droplets. Drainage
channels are a unique AccuPac design that can greatly improve the drift removal efficiency of your cooling tower.

SPECIAL FEATURES NESTING: Our CDX-80 is designed so they nest or

interlock with the module next to them, eliminating interfaces between modules.
This important feature eliminates a possible bypass of the air that can occur when
modules are not tightly sealed at the module to module interface In a flat sheet
design any small gaps between the flat sheets will cause air to bypass the
eliminator, taking the path of less resistance and carrying drift droplets with it.
