Definitions
- This invention relates to industrial water cooling towers and especially to an improved non-clogging film fill assembly for use in counterflow type cooling towers.
- film fills are significantly shorter than splash fills thus decreasing the head on the pump delivering hot water to the tower and thereto making tower operation less expensive because of the lower horsepower pump requirements.
- Cooling tower designers in seeking to increase the efficiency of counterflow towers, have also sought to further decrease the overall height of such towers by making the fill more effective than has been the case in the past.
- film fill assemblies for have in many instances completely supplanted prior fill structures. These prior fill structures primarily relied upon break-up of the water for surface increase purposes instead of thin films of water over a large multiplicity of closely spaced sheets of plastic.
- cooling tower operators have routinely removed a portion of the cooling tower water in the form of blow down and returned it to the source such as a stream to prevent buildup of chemical additives in the water. As much as 10% of the water may be continuously returned to the stream or other water source as blow down.
- This water can contain a relatively high concentration of additives and therefore significant amounts of chlorine, for example, may be present at the outlet of the cooling tower which discharges into the adjacent stream, lagoon, or lake water source.
- Concern over stream and water body pollution has led governmental authorities to restrict the use of additives such as chlorine in cooling tower water for preventing growth of microorganisms in the recirculating cooling water. In fact, absent a more acceptable anti-microbial additive than chlorine and which is available at a reasonable cost, many tower operators have elected to simply eliminate or drastically reduce the additives such as chlorine in the cooling tower water.
- microorganisms present in the water and whose growth is no longer inhibited by suitable anti-microbial compounds in the water collect at the points of intersection of the corrugations of the fill.
- the microorganisms then start to multiply at the nodal points in the fill assembly. This growth oftentimes continues until complete blockage of the water flow paths through the fill unit occurs.
- cooling towers of the type discussed and especially those used for larger energy generation plants such as nuclear facilities have fill assemblies whose plan area can be anywhere from one to two acres, for example.
