A Simple Drift Measurement Technique for Industrial Cooling Towers

M. A. Kessick, D. M. Pipes, Jack V. Matson

Abstract

Drift loss rate was measured for three induced draft cooling towers by following the decrease in concentration of two conservative additives in the recirculating water during operation with no blowdown and normal makeup. The method described is simple and inexpensive and provides information essential in water use planning.
