Types Of Fills In Cooling Towers

SPLASH FILL
Many layers of slats or bars make a splash fill. When hot water in industrial water cooling towers comes in contact with these bars or slats, it breaks down into tiny particles. These small particles enable increased contact between the water and air that is found within the atmosphere. This process accelerates the rate of evaporation and cooling.

Initially, splash media used to made using wood, however now manufacturers are using more modern designs by adopting PVC. It allows a higher rate of heat transfer. Normally, industries that produce excess filthy water in plenty; use splash fill, since that will convert water into smaller droplets and will separate the dirt and debris from it.

FILM FILL
Film fill is made by closely placing thin PVC sheets together. These PVC sheets create a very large surface area in the industrial cooling towers, it allows the circulation of hot air and let the air come in contact with the film of material. It increases the rate of heat transfer which allows the water to cool down. The film fill is specially designed to cool water that is good enough for human consumption; the fill will collect the debris within the water.
