Selection Criteria for  type of Packing for cooling tower. The choice depends on the specific application: In summary, for counterflow cooling towers, vertical film fill is the standard for efficiency where water quality permits, while splash or trickle/grid packings are chosen for rugged industrial applications with...

In counterflow cooling towers, where air moves vertically upward against the falling water, the packing (also called fill) is the critical component that maximizes heat and mass transfer. Its primary functions are to create a large surface area for water-to-air contact and to delay water fall to increase contact time. Here are the main...
