Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An apparatus directed to reducing mineral buildup on drift eliminators of a cooling tower, using a control unit to selectively irrigate the drift eliminators based on the fluid temperature in the basin and the temperature inside and outside of the cooling tower.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An apparatus to reduce mineral buildup on drift eliminators coupled with air inlets of a cooling tower, comprising: an irrigator comprising one or more spray nozzles operable to irrigate the drift eliminators with fluid from a basin of the cooling tower; one or more pumps coupled to the spray nozzles operable to draw the fluid from the basin of the cooling tower; and a control unit operably connected to the one or more pumps and the spray nozzles a…
