99-05: A Comparison of Crossflow Cooling Tower Splash-Type Fills Analysis MethodThis paper will describe the testing of twenty commonly used crossflow fill configurations. It will present the mathematical procedure used to analyze the data, and it will give a procedure to be used to compare the relative performance of the fills.
