Description
M106 Cooling Tower Fill is a high-performance film-type fill specifically designed for crossflow cooling tower systems. It is constructed from durable, fire-retardant PVC and features a bottom-supported design for easy installation. As water flows over the structured fill sheets, it forms a thin film across the surface, greatly enhancing the water-air contact area and thermal exchange rate compared to splash-type fills.
The M106 fill is engineered to resist biological decay, corrosion, and aging. Its wide sheet spacing helps prevent clogging, minimizing maintenance costs while extending service life. The fill includes integrated high-efficiency drift eliminators that reduce water loss due to drift by more than tenfold compared to traditional designs. This directly results in lower water consumption and reduced use of water treatment chemicals.
By eliminating visible drift, M106 Cooling Tower Fill helps prevent water spotting on surrounding buildings and property. The drift eliminators are suitable for both vertical and horizontal discharge configurations, directing airflow toward the fan and reducing energy consumption.The bottom-supported structure allows for quick and cost-effective installation in nearly all crossflow cooling towers. The integrated drift eliminators require no extra frames or supports, offering both increased cooling performance and improved drift control in a single, compact fill module.
