Characteristics of drift eliminators of an evaporative condenser

This paper deals with an experimental study of drift eliminators used in evaporative condensers to determine the pressure drop across them, drift loss and their effects on a refrigeration system performance using an evaporative condenser as one of its components. the experiments were conducted with...
