ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A dual path drift eliminator and method is provided which effectively removes entrained water particles from high velocity moist airstreams leaving a crossflow cooling tower fill structure by the use of spaced, cellular, individually draining, diversion path-defining structures strategically located and ar- ranged to facilitate maximum drift elimination. The drift elimi- nator has a plurality of elongated air passages therein disposed to first divide the moist air from the tower fill into a series of separate streams which are first diverted at an upward angle relative to the initial path thereof, and thereafter re-diverted laterally to one side of the first diversion path. Water particle removal is thus greatly enhanced by virtue of increased impinge- ment of the entrained particles against the cellular walls defin- ing the respective diversion paths. The eliminators hereof have special advantages in crossflow cooling towers because the spac- ing between the diversion path defining cellular structures per- mits separate draining of the water collected in each, so that air inlet blockage resulting from the accumulated drainage of large volumes of water from a single drainage area is avoided. The elimi- nator structure preferably includes a number of juxtaposed pairs of spaced, elongated, transversely corrugated, preformed sections sandwiched between elongated, preformed, transversely V-shaped panels to define a structurally distinct eliminator pack which can be manufactured using assembly line techniques; such packs are moreover of nestable configuration permitting complemental posi- tioning of a plurality of packs to present a substantially con- tinuous drift eliminator unit free of objectionable vertical gaps, notwithstanding the lack of conventional shiplap joints or other mechanical interconnection between individual eliminator packs.
