Core Functions

Captures fine water droplets entrained in tower exhaust airflow to reduce water drift loss of circulating water. It prevents surrounding ground wetting and equipment corrosion, also cuts chemical treatment agent carry over with drift droplets and saves water treatment chemical consumption.

Structural Form

Baffle type assembly built from spaced corrugated / curved sheets forming airflow passages. Main patterns:

1. Zig Zag (V Shape / M Shape): Multiple sharp bends for high droplet capture efficiency with relatively higher flow resistance.

2. Curved Arc Profile: Smooth radiused flow turns, low air side resistance; slightly lower droplet capture efficiency.

3. Reinforced Bi Directional Corrugation: Balanced droplet capture and pressure drop performance for large cooling tower installations.

Commonly Used Materials

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride, dominant grade): Low cost, lightweight and easy forming for ambient temperature circulating water service; risk of softening / deformation under sustained temperature >55°C.
