Splash Fill for Cooling Towers
Cooling Tower Fill is used within a cooling tower to increase the surface area between the air and water flow for a longer amount of time. It assists the process of evaporative cooling by providing a textured, extended air-to-water surface area. By providing a greater surface area for water evaporation, the cooling process becomes more efficient. Fill comes in many different styles, some designed for counterflow, some for crossflow, some with integral drift eliminators, and some with integral louvers and drift.
Why Is Cooling Tower Splash Fill So Effective?
The principle of operation for splash fill is to maximize water surface to air interface. Instead of sheet surface, splash fills maximize water droplet surface. Splash fills break the water into smaller droplets, continually exposing more water surface to the airflow. In addition, the splash fill allows the water to stay suspended allowing greater time exposure to the air. Historically, splashing fills have been made of wood Lath or other forms of PVC or Polyethylene.
