ABSTRACT:
A crossflow cooling tower has a number of fill structure sections which are arranged at equally spaced intervals around the entire perimeter of a central plenum that receives generally horizontal currents of air simultaneously from all of the fill structure sections and causes the air to be discharged in an upwardly direction out of the tower. In one embodiment, the tower is provided with four upright fill structure sections disposed in a square arrangement in horizontal view, and a number of the towers may be located adjacent each other in a side-by-side diamond-like arrangement so that each air inlet face of each tower readily communicates with the atmosphere. Both the hot water distribution basin and the cold water distribution basin are formed as integrally molded, one-piece components, and four upright air baffle corner supports carry the weight of adjacent fill structure sections as well as the load presented by the overhead hot water basin, thereby minimizing the need for additional supporting members, bracing or casings to provide necessary structural integrity.
