The modifications made to an industrial cooling tower, including an improved heat distribution system with PVC block media and a fan with fiberglass-reinforced epoxy resin blades, are described. These modifications resulted in more than doubling the operating efficiency of the cooling tower. The system has operated for more than a year with no maintenance problems. (LCL)
