Film Type and PP Splash (Curler) Fill Systems
Fill materials are one of the most critical components directly affecting performance in cooling towers. Selecting the right fill type based on your facility's needs significantly reduces operational costs.
Film Type Fill
Film type fills allow hot water circulating within the tower to spread over wide surface areas, maximizing the contact time between water and air.
- Provides exceptionally high heat transfer efficiency.
- Requires lower fan power.
- Preferred in clean water conditions and projects targeting maximum thermal performance.
Note: Replacing clogged fills due to calcification, fouling, or biological growth can yield a 20% to 40% improvement in tower performance.
PP Splash (Curler) Fill
A highly durable fill system that breaks water into droplets by splashing against surfaces. It resists clogging as it does not narrow the air passage cross-sections.
- Lower initial investment cost.
- Delivers superior performance in dirty water (containing high suspended solids).
- Quick installation and lower maintenance costs.
