Overview

Cooling towers are all around us and come in all shapes and sizes, from small rooftop units to large hyperbolic towers. They’re used for comfort cooling at places like hospitals, schools, and shopping centers. And they also have industrial uses for things like data centers, power generation, refining, and food processing.

Brentwood provides the cooling tower industry with expertly engineered cooling tower fill, drift eliminators, inlet louvers, and other components. We focus on what is inside the tower by offering the most extensive line of products to fit your specific application and needs.

Trickle Fills

Trickle fills generate thin films of trickling water to maximize cooling in poor-water-quality applications. The advanced flute geometry of these products allows for trickling of water along the structural members to increase thermal performance.

Drift Eliminators

Keeping process water inside the cooling tower is key to efficient operation. Brentwood offers drift eliminators for both counterflow and crossflow applications, available in both cellular and blade designs.

Inlet Louvers

Inlet louvers improve air flow into the cooling tower, keep out debris, eliminate water splash-out, restrict sunlight, reduce noise, and improve tower appearance. They are available in PVC and stainless steel and can be provided in assembled frames.

Nozzles

Cooling tower nozzles direct the hot water in need of cooling to the tower fill. Brentwood’s spray nozzles are located and sized in order to provide a uniform pattern of water over the fill with no gaps between their spray areas. This enables the fill to be fully wetted out and ensures high performance.
