The Cooling Tower Drift Loss Emission Test is conducted to quantify the amount of water droplets (drift) emitted from a cooling tower during normal operation. Drift consists of fine water droplets entrained in the exhaust air stream, which may contain dissolved solids and chemicals. The test ensures that drift emissions remain within permissible environmental and regulatory limits.
Objective
The primary objective of this test is to:
- Measure drift loss as a percentage of circulating water flow
- Verify the efficiency and performance of drift eliminators
- Ensure compliance with applicable environmental regulations and design specifications
- Minimize water loss and potential environmental impact
