TP25-13 Creating an Indutry - Wide Fill MiscellaneousOver the many decades counterflow fill thermal performance testing has fallen under the purview of cooling tower manufacturers and select fill suppliers. Each either designing and building their own test facility or using facilities designed and built by technical universities or private testing firms with an interest in the technology. In any case, the test facilities were designed for a specific purpose, to test the fill in a variety of operating

This paper will also orient the reader with technical concepts

12-cell fiberglass counterflow evaporative cooling tower

hot water is first cooled through dry coils and further cooled through additional tubes sprayed with treated water

dry cooling virtually eliminates water consumption but at higher cost and reduced efficiency

using recycled water with high ammonia contents for cooling water make-up adopted a new economical stabilized halogen technology to solve bio-treatment problems

This paper consolidates these efforts which were originally documented in two separate reports

the water often becomes polluted

a data bank of the pressure drop characteristics of tower components

gives immediate results allowing observing abnormal measurement
