Class 600 splash fill bars are available in the following
materials:
• PVC in “Omega”, “Mega” or “Alpha”
configurations.
• Injection-molded polypropylene “Ladder”
configurations.
• Rough sawn, preservative-treated wood
“G” configurations.
Each cooling tower application is individually reviewed
to assure selection of the proper fill type and fill spacing.
Performance is computer optimized to assure maximum
cooling from a given tower cell size for the design
performance conditions.
Long functional life for cooling tower fill depends on
the splash bar support. Wood lath and PVC splash bars
are supported in FRP grids. Chemically, the resistance
of FRP to acids, alkalis, salts, and oils is rated excellent
through concentrations much higher than could ever
occur in a cooling tower. Mechanically, the FRP support
system takes advantage of tensile strength exceeding
30,000 psi. FRP exhibits very little creep under stress of
live and dead loads throughout the extremes of moisture
and temperature variations.
