C.E. Shepherd SDRU Drift Reduction Units

Designed for both crossflow and counterflow applications, CES-DRUs (CE Shepherd Drift Reduction Units) in modules measure 12-1/2″ wide x 5-1/4″ deep.

These nozzles are built to handle varying industrial conditions while maintaining consistent spray performance.

  • Pressurized operation ensures water breaks into fine droplets for efficient heat transfer
  • 360-degree full cone spray pattern provides uniform fill coverage and prevents dry spots
  • Large internal openings reduce clogging risk and improve long-term performance
  • Corrosion-resistant materials handle high temperature and chemical exposure
  • Efficient design delivers a full spray even at low pressure to reduce pump energy usage

Each nozzle is engineered to maintain reliable flow and spray characteristics under varying loads.

  • Spray type: Full cone or umbrella
  • Flow rate: 10–50 m³/h
  • Pressure range: 1–3.5 kg/cm²
  • Material: Polypropylene, ABS, PVC, or stainless steel
  • Mounting: Threaded pipe connection or snap-in grommet

SDRU Drift Reduction Units

Designed for both crossflow and counterflow applications, CES-DRUs (CE Shepherd Drift Reduction Units) in modules measure 12-1/2″ wide x 5-1/4″ deep. Maximum available length is 10′. The modules nest together tongue-and-groove fashion for increased protection from drift loss. CES-DRU may also be provided in a non-nesting form (DRU 1.5N).

When water enters the plenum area, droplets are caught in the exit air stream. Propelled at high velocity, these droplets erode rotating fan blades and drive shafts, gear boxes, mechanical supports and other stationary equipment all located in the plenum chamber. As it escapes the tower, this drift is a likely cause of damage to any neighboring equipment, parking lots, roads and the like. Excess drift also increases make-up requirements, a potentially serious problem given today’s emphasis on water conservation.

The CES-DRU1.5 is an engineered solution for the removal of entrained water droplets within the exit air stream. Shepherd Drift Reduction Units provide a low pressure drop for increased air flow, reduced maintenance and prolonged operating life. Shepherd Crossflow Drift Reduction Units (Drift Eliminators)
