Splash bar for cooling tower fill assembly

For use with a crossflow water cooling tower having a hot water distributor for distributing water onto the splash type fill assembly structure, a cold water basin and means for inducing crossflow movement of air therebetween, a combination therewith of splash type fill assembly structure comprising,

• a series of elongated generally horizontal fill members;
• means supporting the fill members in the space between the hot water distributor and said cold water basin in horizontal and vertical spaced relationship;
• said fill members having their longitudinal axis generally parallel with the direction of air flow and said fill members having a substantially flat elongated upper surface element, a substantially flat elongated lower surface element and a connecting elongated substantially vertical surface element, said upper and lower surface elements being substantially parallel to each other and all of said surface elements being perforated throughout for passage and dispersal of liquid falling thereon.
