Abstract

The present invention provides a packing sheet, a packing module and a cooling tower. The packing module has: stacked first flow path and second flow path which exchange heat between water sprayed from above and air flowing from below to above; a first import portion for importing water sprayed from one side of the packing module in a width direction into the first flow path; a second import portion for importing water sprayed from the other side of the packing module in the width direction into the second flow path; a first export portion for guiding water flowing out from the first water path to one side of the packing module in the width direction for discharging; and, a second export portion for guiding water flowing out from the second water path to the other side of the packing module in the width direction for discharging. In accordance with the present invention, two flow paths in the packing module can operate in different operation modes, so that water or wind can flow through one flow path to cool water while only air can flow through the other flow path to realize heat exchange through partition walls, thereby reducing fog discharge when wet air is discharged to the atmosphere.
