Abstract: A cooling tower is provided with fans at the bottom of the unit, and a plurality of Savers of water collection troughs or channels above the fans to capture water droplets sprayed downwardly from the top of the device through a heat exchanger above the collection troughs. The collection troughs supply the collected water to one or more gutters inside the housing which lead the water to an external collection tank from which the water is recirculated to the top of the tower.
