Affordable and High-Quality PP Net Splash Replacement and Cleaning

Cooling tower splash, industrial splash packing, net splash, splash media cooling tower, increased cooling efficiency, water distribution Splash is one of the important components in cooling towers whose main function is to distribute and break the water flow into smaller droplets to increase the contact surface between water and air. This process improves evaporation and consequently enhances the cooling efficiency of the system. Splash components are commonly used in open and closed circuit cooling towers, industrial cooling systems, and units dealing with hot and contaminated water. The design of this part ensures uniform water distribution over the packing surface and prevents channeling paths. Advantages and benefits of using splash include increased heat transfer efficiency, reduced water consumption, prevention of packing clogging, improved water distribution, and extended lifespan of the cooling system. Also, due to its simple and durable structure, it is easy to maintain and has low repair costs. Splash is widely used in various industries such as power plants, petrochemical, steel, refineries, food industries, chemical factories, and industrial ventilation systems and is considered one of the key components for optimizing cooling tower performance. One issue that causes improper tower performance is water hardness depositing between the packings, preventing water from reaching the entire packing surface and weakening performance. In towers with net splash packing, we can easily remove and clean them, making this type of packing cost-effective due to its capability for multiple washings and reuse.

What is Net Splash Packing Media? Net splash packing media is a type of packing made from polypropylene (PP) and, due to its higher quality compared to other packings, is widely used in cooling towers. This article discusses more details about this type of net splash packing. Packing media is extensively used in industries including water and wastewater, refineries, petrochemical, ventilation, etc., and is designed and manufactured in two types: suspended and fixed media. Other features of cooling tower packing include biological removal of nitrate from drinking water and ammonia from fish farming pools.

Packing surfaces are generally divided into two categories: film packings and splash packings. Net splash packing is a type of splash packing that operates by spraying and is commonly used in crossflow and counterflow cooling towers. Due to their shape, net splash packings can be used in vertical and horizontal airflow systems.

Why do we use net splash packings?

This packing generally has higher durability and longevity compared to other packings, which has made it popular. Also, net splash packing with high TDC is suitable for places like refineries with hard water. The resistance of net splash packing in cooling towers against acidic and alkaline conditions is very high, and it is also suitable for places with high air and water temperatures. The most important point about net splash is its easy and convenient maintenance.

What are the applications of net splash packing?

Net splash packings are used in various scrubbers to replace pall rings in acid cooling systems. Stainless steel splash is also the main material supporting acid cooling towers. Acid vapors condense upon contact with net splash packing blocks, optimizing scrubber performance. Generally, in any place where hot water entering the cooling tower exceeds 60°C, this packing model is the most suitable option.

How does splash media packing work?

Water falling onto the net splash packing surface via nozzles is immediately broken into fine droplets. Droplets hitting the net splash pads break into even smaller droplets, enhancing the water-air contact surface. Generally, the greater the water-air contact surface, the better the cooling device's efficiency and results.

Features of Net Splash Media Cooling Tower Packing

Overall, net splash packing has more features compared to other packings. Some advantages include very low fouling potential due to lower specific surface area compared to other cooling tower packings, making it suitable for places like power plants and refineries with relatively high total hardness. This device also allows descaling or acid washing, which can be done every few years.

Technical specifications of net splash packing

Net splash cooling tower packing blocks are designed with dimensions of 100 cm length, 30 cm width, and 30 cm height. The weight of these blocks is approximately 3051 grams or about 3 kilograms. Another type of net splash with dimensions 90/45/60 cm is also produced by Fidar Polymer Kian Mehr. Packings usually have nominal and actual specific surface areas; for this net splash packing, the nominal specific surface is about 170 m²/m³ and the actual specific surface is about 130 m²/m³. This packing is also washable with acid. The packing sheets connect via male and female joints. Another important note is replacing PVC film packing with PP trickle splash packing, where attention must be paid to the effective evaporation surface during replacement.

Other advantages of net splash packing

• These cooling tower packings are placed in blocks between supports of the cooling tower.
• Better performance compared to various other packing types in open, closed, and hybrid cooling towers.
• Lower pressure drop at high temperatures compared to other splash packings.
• Typically, net splash cooling tower packing can withstand temperatures up to 90°C, higher than honeycomb (film) and splash (spray) packings.
• PP net splash cooling tower packings have better and longer service life than other packings.

Production of net splash packing

Net splash cooling tower packing is made from polypropylene, usually offered by Fidar Polymer Kian Mehr in black, blue, and white colors. Globally standard net splash packing can continuously handle fluid temperatures between 80 to 90°C due to the thermal resistance of polypropylene material. Net splash cooling tower packing is also available in PVC, which has lower grades compared to polypropylene. One of the main advantages of polypropylene production is its high temperature resistance up to 90°C and durability without deformation when exposed to chemicals.

Price of net splash packing

The price of net splash cooling tower packing depends on various factors, such as the size and quantity of packing used in the cooling tower device. The grade of packing material also significantly affects the cooling tower price.

Fidar Polymer Kian Mehr group strives to provide this product completely and accurately to customers, offering excellent quality and using premium materials while aiming to offer unique pricing.
