E401-102 Splash Filling
E401-102 Splash Filling
B&W SPIG provides a wide range of splash filling components. The fill material facilitates heat transfer
capability by maximizing water/air contact. Cooling towers employ plastic (PVC or PP) materials for fill, with fire
retardant properties, according to ASTM E84.
Splash fill water falls over successive layers of horizontal splash bars, continuously breaking into smaller
droplets, while also wetting the fill surface.

Splash filling design and development
For optimal thermal performance and long operating life, the filling components should be properly selected,
based on the fundamental parameters of the circulating water such as total suspended solids (TSS), water
chemistry, cycles of concentration, and the presence of oil or grease.
The wide range of splash filling components from B&W SPIG has been developed based on extensive field
experience, particularly with water which is prone to clogging, such as sea and geothermal water.
B&W SPIG’s state-of-the-art film filling components are designed and tested at our innovative test chamber
and laboratories. Research and development engineers conduct thermal performance tests on splash and film
filling and drift eliminator tests in our research center in Italy.
The R&D facility is designed for cooling tower testing and analysis and is capable of simulating a wide range
of conditions to match actual industry applications. Data collected during tests are cross-checked with relevant
field performance tests and utilized in thermal performance software to update cooling tower system designs.
