Design manual AD evaporative coolers process of the water that comes into contact with the treated air: The operating principle is very simple: if the system expels all the the air taken from the outside passes through cellulose panels introduced air, the system produces maximum efficiency, grants of particular structure wet with water, gives up part of its heat all the planned air renewals and cools the environment under during the process of evaporation of the water and lowers its...
AD evaporative coolers AIR PSYCHROMETRIC CHART The performance of an evaporative cooling system varies ac- on the saturation efficiency of the evaporative pack and can be cording to the physical conditions of the treated air, they depend obtained using air psychrometric chart. Figure 4.1 ...

Design manual AD evaporative coolers ROUTINE MAINTENANCE Figure 5.4 Water drain device Routine maintenance of the evaporative cooler is limited to end- of-season cleaning, which includes washing the water distribu- tion circuit, the evaporative packs, the recirculation pump and the water collection tank. In the winter season it is necessary to drain all the water con- tained in the supply system to avoid damage caused by freezing.
