Brentwood understands the power of innovation. We invest heavily in testing and research & development (R&D) so that we can develop new products and improve existing ones. Our intent is to not only supply high-performing fills but also to provide peace of mind for our customers, knowing that Brentwood products yield long-lasting, trouble-free service.

Testing
Our headquarters in Reading, PA, houses our state-of-the-art R&D lab. The lab is fully staffed by engineers and scientists, and it contains a variety of equipment needed to evaluate cooling tower components. We utilize custom equipment that is designed and constructed to conduct thermal testing as well as measure the fouling propensity of fills, water hold-up weight, and deflection under high temperature, to name a few.
New Product Development
Our dedicated R&D team is continuously developing new fills with increased performance and fouling resistance. Our engineers can go from a concept to a physical prototype that is ready to test in a matter of days, allowing Brentwood to rapidly test and iteratively design new products. By using powerful Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software to complete an initial evaluation of fill features, we’re able to determine if a fill looks favorable and print a mold in our large-format 3D printer. The prototype is then thermoformed, assembled, and conditioned for testing.
Assembly Methods
Brentwood’s patented Mechanical Assembly (MA) technology allows fill and drift eliminator packs to be permanently assembled without glue by crimping the male and female attachment tabs molded into the individual sheets. The innovative attachment process produces packs that are exceptionally strong, environmentally friendly, cost-effective, and easily assembled on site.
Brentwood takes pride in being the lone manufacturer with the capability to assemble cooling tower media using each of the four main assembly methods: mechanical assembly (MA), gluing, solvent bonding, and thermal welding.
