A reticular panel (1) for a cooling tower is disclosed, defining a longitudinal plane (1a) and a sagittal plane (1b), normal to the longitudinal plane (1a), crossing in a main axis (1c), first end edges (3) extending parallel to the main axis (1c) on opposite sides of panel (1) in respect of the sagittal plane (1b), second central edges (4) extending parallel to the main axis (1c) adjacent to the sagittal plane (1b) on opposite sides of panel (1) in respect of the sagittal plane (1b), wherein the panel extends on the longitudinal plane (1a) in a corrugated way, so as to make fins (2) recurrent along the main axis (1c), arranged in two rows (1) symmetrical to said sagittal plane (1b), extending along corresponding secondary axes (2a), transversal to the main axis (1c) and mutually parallel, each fin comprising at least a top crest (20) more spaced from the longitudinal plane (1a) when compared with the remnant part of fin (2), and each defining a first end (21) at the first edge (3) and a second end (22) at the second edge (4), wherein each fin (2) comprises a protuberance (5) protruding transversally to the longitudinal plane (1a) starting form the crest (20) at least at each end (21, 22).

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a system and method for efficient frozen food thawing. An example system includes a movement mechanism comprising a surface configured to receive a plurality of cascade trays, wherein: the movement mechanism is configured to translate the plurality of cascade trays under a tempered water flow; and a respective cascade tray is configured to accommodate a frozen food product, the tempered water flow configured to induce thawing of the frozen food product. The thawing system may include at least one dispensing mechanism positioned superior to the movement mechanism and configured to emit the tempered water flow toward the surface of the movement mechanism in a direction that causes the tempered water flow to impact the frozen food products in a direction such that the water moves oblique to a movement direction of the movement mechanism.
