DE-080 Blade Drift Eliminators

DE-080 Blade Drift Eliminator Modules use a tightly-spaced series of sinusoidal-shaped, PVC (or HPVC) blades that force the leaving air to make 3 distinct changes of direction, resulting in maximum drift droplet removal. But this performance does not come at the expense of fan energy, as the engineered flow through the DE-080 achieves very low pressure drop.

The blades are held together with one-piece end caps, forming an assembled module that is lightweight but strong enough to span up to 6 ft. (1.8 m) between supports, saving material & labor costs and reducing air blockage.

Applications
The DE-080 is designed for applications requiring very low drift levels in counterflow or crossflow Cooling Towers, Evaporative Cooling systems, Turbine Intake Coolers, Scrubbers, and High Humidity Cooling systems.

Features and Benefits
• Easy to assemble on-site, Brentwood Blade Drift Eliminators are a popular choice for international projects (Shipping unassembled components vs. assembled modules can save significantly on freight costs).
• DE-080 modules "nest" with the modules next to them (below left) to provide "seamless" drift removal. This nesting design eliminates gaps between packs that can allow drift droplets to bypass the drift eliminators (below right).
Nested Seam vs. Flat Seam

•The DE-080 features an open drainage design for crossflow induced draft applications.

Materials
DE-080 Blade Drift Eliminators are available in PVC and HPVC (for high temperatures) and are UV stabilized. These compounds have outstanding resistance to weather exposure and are nearly impervious to chemical degradation by alkali, acids, greases, fats, oils, and biological attack. They also have excellent fire rating due to their self-extinguishing characteristics, and meet or exceed Cooling Tower Institute Standard 136.
