Shield system

A shield system adapted for use in an air cooler structure, the shield system including:

• at least one flexible sheet;
• and
• at least one fixing device comprising pairs of fixing members attached at intervals to the air cooler structure;
• at least part of the pairs of fixing members extending outwardly from the air cooler structure;
• a first fixing member of each pair of fixing members being disposed at an upper location of the air cooler structure and a second fixing member of each pair of fixing members being disposed at a lower location of the air cooler structure, each fixing member comprising a first and second mounting;
• the system further comprising a plurality of first elongate members which separately extend between the first mountings of a vertically spaced pair of first and second fixing members, and a plurality of second elongate members which separately extend between the second mountings of the vertically spaced pair of first and second fixing members;
• wherein at least part of each fixing member extends outwardly from the air cooler structure;
• and
• the at least one flexible sheet is positioned between the plurality of first elongate members and the plurality of second elongate members that the plurality of first elongate members and the plurality of second elongate members limit substantial movement of the at least one flexible sheet in a direction which is substantially perpendicular to a plane of the at least one flexible sheet.

An apparatus, comprising:

• an air cooler structure;
• and
• a shield system for shielding the air cooler structure, the shield system comprising at least one flexible sheet and at least one fixing device comprising pairs of fixing members attached at intervals to the air cooler structure;
• the pairs of fixing members including a first fixing member disposed at an upper location of the air cooler structure and a second fixing member disposed at a lower location of the air cooler structure, each fixing member comprising a first and second mounting;
• the system further comprising a plurality of first elongate members which separately extend between the first mountings of a pair of first and second fixing members, and a plurality of second elongate members which separately extend between the second mountings of the pair of first and second fixing members;
• wherein the at least one flexible sheet is positioned between the plurality of first and second elongate members such that the plurality of first elongate members and the plurality of second elongate members limit substantial movement of the at least one flexible sheet in a direction which is substantially perpendicular to a plane of the at least one flexible sheet.
