TRICKLE OF COOLING TOWER Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: heat and power engineering, namely trickle devices of cooling towers. SUBSTANCE: trickle includes vertically mounted hexahedral corrugated tubes of thermoplastic material rigidly joined by their ends with inserts placed between them and made of identical material. Trickle is also provided with lattice type packing of the same material. Certain inserts of adjacent rows of tubes have length exceeding that of adjacent inserts. In zone whose length exceeds that of adjacent inserts lattice type packing is fixed. Said packing is in the form of tube whose contour corresponds to that of hexahedral tube. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency of heat mass exchange due to elimination of intertube space from operation cycle. 2 cl, 3 dwg
