Cooling Tower Fills
Cooling Tower Fills are also named cooling tower filler, cooling tower filling, cooling tower fill packing, cooling tower fill media, cooling tower infill,cooling tower honeycomb fills etc.
Cooling tower fill is made of PVC or PP plain plate by cooling tower fill making machine. They are hot pressed in the certain mould, and then be produced according to different design and be used in different cooling towers, especially in the industrial cooling tower.
No matter we how to name it, the main usage is a media located in the bottom or middle of the industrial cooling tower. Some of the towers will be filled with the filler, others will be half of the tower. Only large industrial tower needs to install 1 layer in the bottom.
Size and shape of cooling tower decide to use which kind of fill. Round cooling tower use the fill media with a round shape, square cooling tower use the square or rectangle shape. There is special shape of the fill can be used in square cooling tower too, it’s trapezoid shape fill.
There are many different sizes from 0.27mm to 0.5mm. Some people that the thicker the thickness of the fill is, the better. Considering the tower’s size and installation method, we advise to use the suitable thickness. If the width is less than 1.22meter, we advise to use the thickness less than 0.38mm.
If the thickness is more than 1.22meter, such as 1.52meter, we advise the thickness should be more than 0.38mm. It is like a paper. If the width is very large, the thickness should be thick enough to bear the weight and strength.
Cross flow cooling tower fill makes the water meet the air crossly, when cooling air enter the tower from two sides, the hot water come into the tower from the top.
The converging between hot water and cooling air is named cross flow.
The result is that the temperature of water get lower and flow away from the tower bottom, and the hot air is uprising in the tower top.
Its working principle is all the cooling air enter the tower from bottom when the cooling tower fill located in the center is full of the tower
When the hot water come into cooling tower from the top, the cooling air will decrease the water temperature when all the water is scattered around the fill media surface.
After the temperature get down, the cooling water will flow out from the bottom, and the hot air lift in the top of tower.
