TP22-27: Evaluation of the Thermal Performance of Various Tubular Splash Bar Heights Thermal Performance

TP22-27: Evaluation of the Thermal Performance of Various Tubular Splash Bar Heights Thermal PerformanceSplash bars are one of the oldest methods to increase cooling potential within a cooling tower and have seen significant improvement throughout history. The earliest splash bars were simply wooden planks positioned in a checkerboard pattern. As plastic resins became a widespread and inexpensive material, they became the obvious choice for decreased cost and increased life. The earliest plastic bars replicated the simple shape of wooden planks. But

These calibrations were performed in different diameter pipes at each of the facilities

Stagnant water films have 8

EEKO BALL Requires no maintenance

have now been successfully commercialized in several markets including direct drive pumps and fans

and promote safer fish handling

Water being an excellent means to transfer and dispose of heat

Laboratory and pilot cooling towers containing Munsters Fill were used during this research

This highly tunable technology allows for corrosion mitigation strategies in response to new corrosion challenges in cooling water system not only to meet more stringent environment regulations but also to address corrosive water systems

The switches are not even close

due to poor water distribution

The goal of this paper is to detail how the technology has evolved

If test results are corrected using performance curves not applicable to the operating conditions during the test
