C.E. Shepherd V-Bar Splash Fill

C.E. Shepherd V-Bar Splash Fill is a heavy-duty cooling tower heat-transfer media designed for crossflow cooling towers operating with dirty, high-fouling, or poor-quality process water. Its inverted V-shaped splash bar design continuously breaks falling water into fine droplets, improving evaporative cooling performance while resisting clogging, scale buildup, and biological fouling in harsh industrial environments.

  • Crossflow cooling towers
  • Industrial process cooling systems
  • Petrochemical processing plants
  • Steel and mining operations
  • Wastewater treatment facilities
  • High-fouling cooling tower environments
  • Inverted V-bar profile improves water breakup and evaporative cooling efficiency
  • Perforated surface pattern increases droplet fragmentation and airflow contact
  • Open splash-fill design resists clogging from scale, sludge, and suspended solids
  • Dual mounting orientation supports parallel or perpendicular airflow installation
  • Integrated center stiffener improves structural strength under heavy water loads
  • Extruded PVC construction resists corrosion, UV exposure, and chemical attack
  • Polypropylene locking clips prevent movement and vibration wear during operation
  • Wire mesh support system improves installation stability and load distribution
  • Heavy-duty construction withstands ice buildup and continuous industrial operation
  • Flexible profile lengths simplify cooling tower retrofit and replacement projects

It is engineered for industrial crossflow cooling towers operating under high-fouling water conditions.
