Cross-Fluted Fills
Cross-fluted designs provide high thermal performance and have alternating fill sheets, allowing for excellent lateral water dispersion. High thermal performance is achieved by utilizing the engineered microstructure design and maintaining the highest manufacturing standards.
Brentwood has spent millions of dollars in R&D and testing of all cooling tower fill and drift eliminator products over the years, collecting results from thousands of high-performing installations. Whether your needs are for counterflow or crossflow tower applications, we can provide educated recommendations for the correct fill replacement to meet existing design criteria or improve upon older tower installations.

Cellular Drift Eliminators
Brentwood’s AccuPac® Cellular Drift Eliminators are constructed of an alternating series of corrugated and wave PVC sheets, assembled to form closed cells. The closed cell structure yields the greatest surface area for droplet capture in a given volume. Brentwood’s latest generation.
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.
