ENTRAINMENT - The transport of water into a gas stream. In a boiler, this is carryover, in a cooling tower, drift. 

Atmospheric conditions should be defined in terms of temperature, humidity, and contaminants, as well as their corrosivity to the specific materials of construction being considered. In addition to the general atmospheric conditions, special conditions such as cooling tower drift or spray, spills, or releases of water or chemicals should not be overlooked and must be taken into account. 

Drift Water lost from the tower as hquid droplets entrained in the exhaust air. It is independent of water lost by evaporation. Units may be in pounds (kilograms) per hour or percentage of circulating water flow. Drift ehminators minimize this loss from the cooling tower. Drift eliminator An assembly constructed of wood, plastic, cement asbestos board, steel, or other material which serves to minimize entrained droplets from the discharged air.
