Abstract
A crossflow cooling tower, water flow control valve and diffuser which includes an open ended inner valve cylinder which moves from a closed to an open position by means of a screw mechanism and allows water to be evenly distributed over a 360.degree. range to all parts of a hot water basin located directly under the valve. The water leaving the valve is directed and proportioned by a series of baffles and a cone to effect a uniform distribution over the basin.
