TP25-11 Parameter Study of Mechnically Loaded Bottom-Supported Cooling Tower Fills PacksWhen designing a cooling tower, it is critical to understand the compounding weight factors that affect not only the fill but the structure itself. Factors include, but are not limited to, the fill itself, water hold up inside the fill, biological growth, support width, and support span. Since pack failure, in most cases, will occur at the pack support interface, it is important to develop a standard to understand the maximum loading that occurs at
