Abstract
A cost-effective cooling tower splash fill bar support assembly that includes a plurality of perforated substantially planar components supporting a plurality of splash fill bars extending therethrough in a manner that distributes stress over a relatively large area, typically by using a splash fill bar support. Also, a method of forming a cooling tower splash fill bar support assembly including a splash fill bar support assembly having substantially planar components and splash fill bar supports.
Claims13
A cooling tower apparatus for cooling an industrial fluid or the like, said apparatus comprising:
- a frame structure;
- an air current generator mounted to said frame structure;
- splash fill bar support assembly disposed within said frame structure, said splash fill bar assembly comprising:
- a substantially planar component configured to extend through an interior portion of frame structure, wherein the substantially planar component includes an opening configured to accommodate a splash fill bar extending therethrough;
- and
- a splash fill bar support positioned adjacent to an edge of the opening and extending substantially perpendicularly from the substantially planar component, wherein the support is configured to support a portion of the splash fill bar when the splash fill bar extends through the substantially planar component.
