REUTER, H. C. R.; ERENS, P. J.  and  DREYER, A. A.. Evaluation of two crossflow cooling tower splash fills. R&D j. (Matieland, Online) [online]. 1992, vol.8, pp.12-17. ISSN 2309-8988.

A crossflow cooling tower test section has been designed and instrumented to facilitate the evaluation of various types of fill materials commonly used in crossflow cooling towers. Two types offill material have been tested to obtain correlations for their performance in cross-flow by applying the Merkel theory to the measured data. It is concluded that the facility developed can be used to accurately determine the transfer and pressure-drop characteristics of any type of cooling tower fill in crossflow and to carry out comparative tests between different fill materials.
