ABSTRACT:
A filling member for use with installations where media are in direct contact for energy and/or mass exchange, or for chemical or biological reactions, or for mixing and separation processes, for instance, for trickling screens or mist eliminators in cooling towers, for direct heat exchangers, for drippers in biological waste water clarification plants, for chemical towers for liquid and/or gas distributors and mixers, for air feeders or the like is disclosed. The filling member comprises generally panel-like foils with waves or undulations including wave crests and wave troughs of predetermined amplitude and wavelength set against each other along their course, and are connected with each other for formation of flow ducts. The flow ducts have at least two reorientations or redirections in flow direction. The directly adjoining segments of two foils following each other in the layering are connected with each other exclusively zone-wise, and along the other portion of the length they leave a slit open which connects the side-by-side flow ducts. A cross-sectional surface of the slits amount only to a fraction of the cross-sectional surfaces of the flow ducts connected by the slits.
