COOLING TOWER PACKING BLOCK Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: recirculating water supply systems.

SUBSTANCE: packing block contains tubular elements made from thermoplastic material and laid in layers. Tubular elements are welded together at their ends; they have triangular cross section; strip made from thermoplastic material is laid between each layer of tubular elements and is welded with tubular elements at points of contact; in the course of welding, end sections of tubular elements and strips laid in between them are fused and monolithic end walls of block are molded in the course of fusing. Cross section of all tubular elements is identical: in form of isosceles or equilateral triangle. Tubular elements are located one under another or in adjacent layers in cross section; tubular elements of one layer are located between tubular elements of adjacent layer. Thus, universal block is made which is used as sprinkler and water catcher.

EFFECT: ease of maintenance; low aerodynamic resistance; simplified construction; low cost.
