84-03: Evolution of Cooling Tower Fill Fans & Associated Equipment

84-03: Evolution of Cooling Tower Fill Fans & Associated EquipmentDiscusses the state of the art and history of the development of fill in counterflow and crossflow cooling towers. The paper will cover application principles, economics, and test methodology used to assure accurate performance predictions. The scope of the paper will address designs used worldwide for both power and industrial projects and address such issues as the various materials used, splash cooling designs, and film cooling designs.
