ABSTRACT:
A splash bar fill assembly for a splash-type cooling tower includes a plurality of splash bars, each of which includes a one piece elongated member having a pair of upwardly converging leg members joined together to form an apex, and a vertical supporting rib member extending downwardly from the apex. The fill assembly also includes a wire mesh support system for the splash bars. The wire mesh supports the splash bars within the cooling tower in an arrangement of successive rows. Each row of the arrangement has its splash bars arranged in parallel and in spaced apart relationship. The splash bars of one row are disposed angularly to those of an adjacent row and are arranged parallel to and vertically offset from those of an alternate row. The wire mesh is formed from a plurality of vertical and horizontal wires which are joined together at their points of intersection. The joints formed at the intersection of the wires are adjacent the lowermost ends of the leg members of the splash bars with the ends of the leg members in abutting contact with the joints.
