Abstract

The arrangement (1) comprises distributor pipes (6) that are supported by horizontal bars (3) and have downwardly directed spray nozzles (16) and mist collectors (8). The bars (3) are provided with bearing points (5) that are open toward the top and extend across the entire lengths thereof for the integration of the distributor pipes (6). Two consecutive bearing points (5) each in the longitudinal direction of the bars (3) are separated from each other by means of a support (7) for the mist collectors (8). Beneath the bars (3), multi-layer dripping installations (13) are provided, against which cooling air blows.

Embodiment Construction

[0023]1 designates in FIG. 1 an arrangement for recooling of cooling water, as used in particular in a wet or hybrid cooling tower, not shown in greater detail, with natural ventilation or forced ventilation.

[0024]The arrangement 1 includes several vertical supports 2 as well as horizontal bars 3, 4 extending in longitudinal and transverse directions. The bars 3, as also shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, are provided with open-topped bearing points 5, which extend across their entire width B, for installation of distributor pipes 6 for cooling water to be recooled. Each two consecutive bearing points 5 in longitudinal direction of the bars 3 are separated from one another by a support 7 for mist collectors 8 which are provided above the distributor pipes 6. The mist collectors 8 are made of plastic sheets, curved in the vertical, and are subdivided into several surface segments 9. FIG. 1 involves an exploded view which depicts the mist collectors 8 at a distance to the supports 7. The broken ...
