Evaporative Cooling Pads


CELdek® is made from a special high cellulose material, which is impregnated to resist degradation. CAUTION: Do not expose to sparks or flame -- the material is flammable when dry. GLASdek® is made from glass matt and rigidifying agents. GLASdek® is fire rated with UL900, Class II for depths up to 12".

Wide Range of Cooling Applications

The CELdek® unique cross-fluted design of the pads induces highly turbulent mixing of air and water for optimum heat and moisture transfer. CELdek® further enhances this design using unequal angles in the slope of the corrugations. The 45 degree and 15 degree corrugations are offset to continually direct the water to the air entry side of the pad.

This results in:

• High cooling efficiency -- up to 90% in the 400-500 FPM velocity range for a 12" depth of CELdek®...slightly higher in GLASdek®. These pads (flute size 6560/15) contain 123 square feet of cooling surface in every cubic foot (440 square meters per cubic meter).
• Much higher face velocity -- The natural tendency is for the air to push the water out of the pad. Because of the unequal angle, the maximum air velocity without water carryover is approximately 700 FPM. Most engineers design systems for an average velocity of 550 FPM or less to allow for variance in air distribution.
• Self-cleaning design -- Munters®, CELdek® and GLASdek® resist clogging due to atmospheric dust or sand. When the recirculating water is turned on, especially without air flow, the water flushes the surface with more flushing at the entering side where debris normally accumulates. The also serves to reduce mineral build-up.
  
  Sizes Available
  
  CELdek® and GLASdek® evaporative cooling pads are installed side-by-side with no intermittent joints or framing. Maximum size is: 24"D x 12"W x 72"H. The CELdek® pads can be cut down to 3", 4", 6", 8", 12", or 18" or custom cut in depth and to any height in multiples of 12" up to 72". GLASdek® pads have a mimimum 4" depth. For taller pad walls, the media can be stacked to a height of 12', using intermediate supports along the horizontal joints.
  
  Water Distribution
  
  Water flow is based on the depth of the pad. Both CELdek® and GLASdek® require 1.5 gallons per minute per square foot of horizontal surface area. For installations having intensive evaporation and pads taller than 72 inches, an additional 10-20% of water may be required.
  
  Distribution Pads
  
  Distribution pads supplied in 2" or 3" sections of cross-fluted pads with special edge reinforcement are made to disperse the water laterally across the top of the pad. For more information, please contact us.
  
  Scale Control
  
  Scale formation looks like frost and normally shows up on the air entry side of the pad. To prevent scale formation, a bleed-off equal to 10-50% of the amount of water evaporated may be required. The exact amount will depend on the pH and hardness of the water. Once the bleed-off rate is established, the scale can be controlled.
  
  Algae Control
  
  Although algae may grow on a HumiCool™ evaporative cooling pad, it will not cause deterioration or rot. But, if allowed to grow freely, in may eventually clog the passages and inhibit the flow of air. Algae buildup is controlled by implementing simple maintenance techniques. The program should be started early. For more information call us.
