Design Considerations for Water Distribution Over Evaporative Cooling Media
The evaporative media replacements experts at CoolingMedia.com suggest the following two design considerations for water distribution on evaporative cooling media to achieve optimal cooling performance.
- The suggested amount of water flow varies depending on the depth of the evaporative media that is being used. CELdek requires 1.5 gallons per minute of water per square foot of horizontal (top) pad surface area. For installations that have intense evaporation or pad walls taller than 72″, an additional 10-20% of water should be used.
- The gutter and sump should be sized to supply the system with enough water to operate at its maximum flow rate and not overflow when the system is shut down.
