Advantages of Cross flow Design
- Low Pumping Head: Gravity distribution reduces pump energy.
- Lower Air-Side Pressure Drop: Requires less fan horsepower.
- Better Freeze Protection: Water is distributed above fill, so ice formation is less likely to block airflow.
- Easier Maintenance: Distribution basins are accessible from the top; fill can be accessed from sides.
- Handles Dirty Water Better: Larger orifices are less prone to clogging than spray nozzles.
