Abstract:
A support beam for a cooling tower fill assembly includes a web, an upper flange, a lower flange, and a lip. The web has a serpentine shape so a lower end of the web is vertically offset relative to an upper end. The upper flange extends from a first side of the web at the upper end thereof. The lower flange has a first portion extending from the first side at the lower end thereof and a second portion extending from a second side at the lower end thereof. The lip extends upwardly from the second portion so the lip cooperates with the second portion and a portion of the web to form a longitudinal channel. The lip and the second portion are provided with a plurality of spaced apart notches.

Claim (Index 5):
A support beam in combination with a cooling tower fill assembly having a hanger grid having a plurality of horizontal wire member members and vertical wire members connected to one another, the support beam comprising:\n a web having an upper end, a lower end, a first side, and a second side, at least a portion of the web having a serpentine shape so the lower end is vertically offset relative to the upper end; an upper flange extending from the first side of the web at the upper end thereof; a lower flange having a first portion extending from the first side of the web at the lower end thereof and a second portion extending from the second side of the web at the lower end thereof, the second portion of the lower flange having a distal end; and a lip extending upwardly from the second portion of the lower flange at the distal end thereof so the lip cooperates with the second portion of the lower flange and a portion of the web to form a longitudinal channel in which an uppermost horizontal wire member of the hanger grid is received, the lip and the second portion of the lower portion having a plurality of spaced apart notches formed through which the vertical wire members of the hanger grid extend.
