    Abstract: A liquid collection assembly positionable between a fill material and a fan of a cooling tower for collecting liquid gravitating through the fill material while allowing air to pass up to the fill material. The liquid collection assembly includes a plurality of trough assemblies supported in a spaced apart, vertically overlapping relationship to provide a uniform path for rising air, to capture the down flowing liquid, to provide a barrier between the liquid distribution system and the fan, and to carry the liquid into the at least one gutter. The trough assemblies are supported by a first end plate and a second end plate through which trough assemblies extend.

    Abstract: A spray nozzle that includes a nozzle body defining a first surface, a cap defining a second surface able to define an annular nozzle opening therebetween, a turbine having a plurality of radially extending fins circumferentially positioned about the nozzle opening for directing the flow of fluid exiting the nozzle opening, and a reverser member including a cup portion positioned below the cap to intercept the flow of fluid from a flow passage of the cap. The reverser member coupled to the turbine such that the reverser member is caused to rotate in response to rotation of the turbine.
