Abstract
Evaporative media pads for direct evaporative cooling systems and, in particular, evaporative media pads that have a reduced internal spacing to increase cooling capacity. In one embodiment, an evaporative media pad includes a plurality of sheets, each of the plurality of sheets including a plurality of flutes, each of the plurality of flutes having a flute height of at most 4.5 mm. In one embodiment, the flute height is at most 4 mm.
Claims20
An evaporative media pad comprising:
- a plurality of sheets, each of the plurality of sheets having a width and including a plurality of flutes, each of the plurality of flutes having a same flute height of at most 4.5 mm each of the plurality of flutes having a corresponding one of the plurality of sheets and extending across an entirety of the width of the corresponding one of the plurality of sheets, the evaporative media pad being assembled such that the plurality of flutes of adjacent sheets of the plurality of sheets extend in different directions.
An evaporative cooling system, comprising:
- an air-water contact body, the air-water contact body including a plurality of sheets, each of the plurality of sheets having a width and a plurality of linear undulations extending across an entirety of the width of the sheet in a single direction, each of the plurality of undulations having a height of at most 4 mm;
- and
- a fluid distribution system configured to deliver fluid to the air-water contact body.
An evaporative media pad for use in a direct evaporative cooling system, the evaporative media pad comprising:
- a plurality of sheets, each of the plurality of sheets lying in a plane, having a width, and including:
- a first plurality of flutes extending in a first direction from the plane, each of the first plurality of flutes having a zenith point, the first plurality of flutes extending across an entirety of the width of the sheet;
- and
- a second plurality of flutes extending in a second direction from the plane opposite the first direction, each of the second plurality of flutes having a zenith point, the second plurality of flutes extending across an entirety of the width of the sheet,
- the distance between zenith points of adjacent flutes being at most 4 mm.
