structured packing can be partially replaced?

structured packing can be partially replaced, but it needs to be regulated according to the specific working conditions and packing types. For example, in the maintenance of cooling tower packing, if part of the packing is aging or damaged, irregular gaps can be filled by cutting small pieces of new packing, and ensure that the assembly blocks are tightly filled, and the maximum gap is not more than 20mm4. When installing the metal structured packing, it is necessary to place it in a cross way, spacing it evenly, and deal with the damaged packing in time to reduce the running resistance 3. In addition, pay attention to safety measures, such as fire prevention and ESD prevention, and follow the installation guide provided by the manufacturer. 23
