+ The coldest water comes in contact with the driest air maximizing tower performance.
+ Smaller foot print of the tower
+ Smaller tower height due to compact infill.
+ More efficient air/water contact due to droplet distribution.
‐ Noise production due to spraying and falling water.
‐ Direct sunlight in the tower basin might trigger algae growth.
‐ Water distribution system might clog due to water borne debris.
‐ Uneasy maintenance of water distribution system.
‐ Drift loss due to droplet distribution system.
‐ Icing of the air inlet louvers in winter time.
