PP grid fills

Description

The OPTI GRID is one of the more established splash fills used in counterflow cooling towers. Due of the small surface area exposed to the falling water, OPTI GRID is a nonfouling fill, and has been used extensively in industries and plants where fill fouling had been extensive.

The grids are supported in uniformly spaced tiers throughout the cell width and length on stainless steel wires hung from supports installed under the water distribution system, and on polypropylene supports specifically designed to secure the grid to the wires. Each grid in each tier is secured to all adjacent grids by special clips that tie the entire fill assembly securely in place.

Features and Advantages

• The configuration of the OPTI GRID allows water droplets to fall across multiple layers of horizontal strips.
• Even as the water droplets bounce off from one layer to another the thin strips cause shearing action on them causing them to break into smaller droplets.
• The construction OPTI GRID is configured to maximize the probability of the water droplets continuously encountering these thin horizontal strips on their way down to the basin. This is evident from the fact that alternate layers of the installed OPTI GRID have these strips displaced from the layers above rather than all in a single line. This results in a far more efficient working of the splashing principle.
