18-29: Fundamentals of Compression Testing Cooling Tower Fill Packs for LoadThis paper covers the fundamentals of testing cooling tower fill packs for load capacity. Consistent testing methods guarantee accurate data, and therefore contribute to reliable design. Understanding how temperature, support width & mil thickness affect the ultimate compression strength of the fill product is key to optimum design. Failure modes and the influence of pack geometry and support span are also discussed.

Improving these inflow conditions allows an increase in the overall airintake of the tower and thereby improves its cooling capability

This paper demonstrates rather pointedly that cooling tower performance and operation is not so straightforwardly simple as it many times is thought to be

Hopefully this can be the base for a new future standard of the cooling tower industry
