The
"Advance" cooling towers operate on the counter
flow principle which gives the best performances. The
air flow through the tower infill is opposed to the
water flow. The cold air meets the cooled water at the
bottom of the infill providing maximum evaporation and
heat transfer in the infill. The PVC infill is corrugated
with clear channels between flutes to prevent any blockage
and giving a large surface area per unit volume. Water
flows through the infill in a thin film exposing the
maximum area to the cooling air flow. The flutes of
the infill are at an angle and each layer of infill
section is reversed, turning the film or water and air
over for maximum cooling.
