Abstract
A cooling tower splash bar method and apparatus are disclosed wherein splash bar elements are positioned in a matrix assembly with each element having elongate perforated upper and lower surfaces with the perforations in the surfaces staggered with respect to one another and with laterally outwardly projecting edge supports for the surfaces. Splash bar elements can include one or more interior longitudinally extending support members and notched projections along at least one longitudinal edge of the splash bar for holding the bar in the matrix assembly. A configuration for the splash bar element is disclosed with certain flat surfaces and certain upwardly projecting surfaces in the form of a single element which can be folded along its centerline to form the splash bar.
