Cooling Tower Fill Changeouts

Fill
AmertechTowerServices can provide full or partial cooling tower fill changeouts (splash or film) regardless of fill and/or cooling tower OEM.

Film Fill

Check for holes, brittle or clogged packs. Holes through the fill are signs of broken or missing nozzles, or cracked and separated lateral piping. Since most of the heat transfer occurs in the fill area, customers can thoroughly explore the different fill styles and types (we can provide unbiased, independent thermal ratings) in an effort to maximize their tower’s efficiency, but how many do the same with their selection of the fill installation company? A poor installation can cost your cold water temperature degrees even with the optimum fill selection. Whether in film or splash cooling tower fill changeouts, we use advanced planning and layout to minimize the number of cuts needed in the process. The required cuts are also made with precision, made possible through ATS’s crews multiple years of experience in the cooling tower industry.

Splash Fill
Check for deterioration, missing or broken splash bars. Splash fill must be kept level and in position to perform properly. The first 6 ft. of crossflow cooling tower fill near the air inlet should be secured in place with clips on the support grid, and its overhang past the last support grid. Ice damaged fill slats near the perimeter must be repaired or repositioned. Especially with splash fill, installation is a critical component. For splash fill, as much as 75% of the total cost of cooling tower fill changeouts is labor.
