84-17: Plastic for Splash Fill and Drift EliminatorsThis paper will cover advantages and disadvantages of plastics now used in cooling towers, such as PVC, CPVC, PP, and ABS. This will include present costs and trends, physical characteristics, resistance to chemicals and to environment. It will also cover flame spread ratings. Within the PVC family it will discuss regrinds, different plasticizers, and different compound deflection temperatures.

No one has to be reminded that a plentiful supply of low-cost electrical energy is vital to the growth and economic health of this nation and its people
