ABSTRACT:
A cooling tower has hollow fill slats formed in a rectangular cross-sectional configuration from a suitable polymer. These slats are supported on polymer grids, each comprised of an upper section and a lower section which forms a downward extension of the upper section. The two sections for each grid have horizontal and vertical stringers which are arranged in rows and delineate rectangular grid openings through which the slats extend. The two sections overlap, and in the region of overlap the upper section on its horizontal stringers has knuckle-type connectors that interlock with horizontal stringers of the lower section such that the grid openings for the two grid sections are generally in registration in the region of overlap. The upper section also has alignment lips on some of the vertical stringers in the region of overlap, and these lips maintain the lower section properly aligned with the upper section.
