Film Fill for Cooling Towers
The purpose of cooling tower fill is to create more surface area for air-to-water contact in order to aide in the evaporative process. Cooling tower fill helps the cooling tower evaporation process work more efficiently and effectively.
We discussed the operating principle of splash fill for cooling towers in an earlier post and here we’ll discuss the function of film fill. While splash fill provides multiple pockets where water droplets can collect and evaporate, film fills allow the water to form thin flowing sheets to expose as much water surface area as possible to the interacting airflow.
Cooling tower sheet fills come in many different forms and “Micro-Structure” each having unique characteristics to fit various applications. Film fills are selected for direct replacement, performance enhancement and water condition compatibility. Each fill has performance characteristics that allow selections to be made for various heat loads, flow rates, water quality and horse power combinations.
