How it works

Water films on an open grid

Water runs down the splash-grid structure and forms thin films on it. These films give the air an effective surface to meet the water in counter-flow cooling, while the open grid leaves room for the air to move through.

FNC 20, FNVC 20 and FVC 20 are described for permanent installations and weather-protected on-site use. FVC 25 is aimed at water-film formation and droplet separation in cooling, agricultural and exhaust-air applications.

Key features

Why choose trickle fill

01

Open grid, strong structure

An open-grid design built for contaminated water, high mechanical loads and demanding mass transfer.

02

High mechanical strength

FNC 20 and FNVC 20 are built to carry high mechanical loads.

03

Solvent-free construction

FNC 20, FNVC 20 and FVC 20 are made without solvents.

04

Very open

Free volume above 97% on FNC 20, FNVC 20 and FVC 20 leaves plenty of room for air to flow.

05

Hybrid and vertical grids

FNVC 20 combines diagonal and vertical geometries. FVC 20 is a robust vertical grid.

06

Water film and droplet control

FVC 25 is made for forming water films and separating droplets.

Project details

Module dimensions, surface area, material grade, temperature limit, allowable suspended solids and fire test certificates depend on the model and your project. Ask our engineers and we will confirm them for you.
