How To Choose The Right Cooling Tower Fills Types

Selecting the appropriate cooling tower fill is crucial for ensuring the performance and efficiency of a cooling tower. Here are some important considerations and suggestions for choosing cooling tower fill:

1. Choose Cooling Tower Fills Types Based on Cooling Water Quality

• Poor Water Quality: When the cooling water contains fibers or has a suspended solids concentration greater than 100mg/L, or there is a possibility of raw oil leakage, drip-type fill should be selected.

• Good Water Quality: If the suspended solids concentration in the cooling water is less than 50mg/L and the water quality is well controlled, film-type fill is recommended.

• Moderate Water Quality: When the suspended solids concentration is between 50mg/L and 100mg/L, drip-film hybrid fill is a better choice.

2. Choose Cooling Tower Fills Types Based on Cooling Tower Type

• Counterflow Cooling Tower: The fill is typically arranged above the air inlet of the tower. Film-type or drip-film fill can reduce the total height and cost of the tower, making it a preferred choice for engineering design.

• Crossflow Cooling Tower: The fill height is the same as the air inlet height of the tower, making it suitable for using drip-type fill with greater height. However, film-type or drip-film fill, which have no height limitations, can also be applied.

3. Choose Cooling Tower Fills Types Based on Inlet Water Temperature

• Low Water Temperature: When the inlet water temperature does not exceed 45℃, modified polyvinyl chloride (PVC) fill performs best.

• Moderate Water Temperature: For water temperatures between 45℃ and 60℃, chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) or polypropylene (PP) fill is more heat-resistant.

• High-Temperature Environment: When the water temperature exceeds 60℃, especially above 70℃, high-temperature-resistant materials such as aluminum alloy should be considered.

4. Choose Cooling Tower Fills Types Based on Fan Characteristics

5. Choose Cooling Tower Fills Types Based on Fill Arrangement

• Suspension Fill: When suspending fill in large cooling towers, the stability of the fill should be considered to avoid shaking. The assembly form of the fill should facilitate construction and daily maintenance.

• Support Structure: When the fill blocks are directly supported on small beams, fill with a smaller width and lower air resistance should be selected. The design span of the support grating should be consistent with the support beams, and its corrosion resistance should match that of the fill.

6. Other Considerations When Choose Cooling Tower Fills Types

• Corrosion Resistance: Fill exposed to air for a long time is prone to corrosion. Therefore, choosing fill with strong corrosion resistance is crucial.

• Specific Surface Area: The larger the specific surface area, the greater the contact area between water and air, resulting in better cooling performance.

• Permeability: Fill with good permeability can reduce air flow resistance, increase air flow, and thus improve cooling efficiency.

• Environmental Friendliness: Choosing environmentally friendly fill can reduce the impact on the environment.

Conclusion When Choose Cooling Tower Fills Types

Selecting the right cooling tower fill requires a comprehensive consideration of factors such as cooling water quality, cooling tower type, inlet water temperature, fan characteristics, fill arrangement, as well as corrosion resistance, specific surface area, permeability, and environmental friendliness. Only by choosing the appropriate fill can the cooling tower achieve the best cooling effect, improve the efficiency and service life of the cooling tower.

How to Replace Cooling Tower Fills Types and the Benefits of Replacement

I. Steps to Replace cooling tower fills types

1. Preparation Before Cooling Tower Fills Types

• Turn off the power supply to the cooling tower to ensure safety.
• Prepare the necessary tools for replacement, such as wrenches, screwdrivers, and cleaning agents.
• Have the new fill ready and check that its model matches the original equipment.

2. Removing the Old Cooling Tower Fills Types

• Turn off the motor power and remove the pull bars from the cooling tower fill section.
• Carefully remove the old fill from the support frame using tools, avoiding damage to the tower body and other components.
• Clean up any garbage and residual fill fragments inside the tower.

3. Cleaning the Tower Body Before Cooling Tower Fills Types

• Thoroughly clean the inner walls of the tower to remove any residual scale and other impurities.
• Inspect the tower body for any damage or corrosion and repair it promptly.

4. Installing the New Cooling Tower Fills Types

• According to the design requirements of the cooling tower, install the new fill layer by layer onto the support frame.
• Ensure that the fill is securely installed and neatly arranged to achieve the best heat exchange effect.
• When installing, pay attention to the spacing and number of fill layers to ensure that the fill is closely attached to the tower walls, columns, and beams, with a maximum gap of no more than 20mm.
• After installation, restore the pull bars in the cooling tower fill section.

5. System Testing After Cooling Tower Fills Types

• After the new fill is installed, conduct a system test to check for leaks or other issues.
• If no problems are found, refill the cooling tower with cooling water and start it for a trial run.

6. Precautions After Cooling Tower Fills Types

• During the construction process, welding operations above the fill are strictly prohibited. If necessary, fire prevention measures must be taken.
• When installation, maintenance, or other work needs to be carried out on the fill, it must be done on a flat plate. Direct stepping on the fill is strictly prohibited.

II. Benefits of Replacing Cooling Tower Fill

1. Cooling Tower Fills Types Improved Cooling Efficiency

• New fill can increase the contact area between water and air, thereby improving cooling efficiency and ensuring that the cooling tower achieves its designed cooling effect.
• After replacing the fill, the cooling efficiency of the cooling tower can be significantly improved. For example, Luopu Tianshan Cement Company improved its cooling efficiency by 15% after replacing the fill.

2. Cooling Tower Fills Types Reduced Energy Consumption and Operating Costs

• Improved cooling efficiency means that the cooling tower consumes less energy to achieve the same cooling effect, thereby reducing operating costs.

3. Cooling Tower Fills Types Extended Service Life of the Cooling Tower

• Old fill may affect the performance of the cooling tower due to aging, damage, or blockage. Timely replacement of the fill can reduce wear on other components of the cooling tower and extend its service life.

4. Cooling Tower Fills Types Reduced Maintenance and Repair Frequency and Costs

• After replacing the fill, the operation of the cooling tower becomes more stable, and the failure rate is significantly reduced, thereby reducing the frequency and costs of maintenance and repair.

5. Cooling Tower Fills Types Reduced Carbon Emissions

• By improving cooling efficiency and reducing energy consumption, replacing the fill can also help reduce carbon emissions to a certain extent, contributing to the green development of enterprises.
