Evap Cooling Media Data PDF

The document describes evaporative cooling media that consists of a cross-fluted cellulose pad impregnated with salts, saturants, and wetting agents. The media provides at least 123 square feet of surface area per cubic foot and has an air pressure drop of less than 0.25 inches of water at 550 feet per minute airflow when wet. Fire rated media is available as an optional material and consists of large glass fibers bound with inorganic fillers with a UL 900 Class 2 fire rating up to 12 inches deep. Formulas are provided to calculate airflow velocity, discharge air temperature, and water evaporation rate.

Evaporative Cooling Media


PreevA - Models PDH, PEH,


RDH, REH, & SDH



The media consists of a cross-fluted pad
of cellulose materials impregnated with
insoluble salts, rigidifying saturants and
wetting agents, and provides at least 123



square feet of evaporative surface per
cubic foot of media. Twelve inch pads
have less than 0.25 inches water column
air pressure drop at 550 FPM face veloc-
ity when wet. Design will be typically tar-
geted for 500 FPM and maximum design
specification will be 550 FPM.
Fire rated media may be specified as an
optional media material. The cross-fluted
pad material consists of large glass fibers
bound together by inorganic, noncrystal-
line fillers and is approved with a UL 900,
Class 2 rating up to 12 depth.



Calculations and Estimates


To Calculate Air Velocity Through the Media Example:
FPM = Air Velocity in Feet per Minute
CFM = Air Volume in Cubic Feet per Minute................................................ CFM = 12,900
Media Face Size in square feet - from Technical Data Table (Page 2 or 4). Media Face Size = 18.67 sq. ft.
CFM Media Face Size = FPM................................................................... 12,900 CFM 18.67 sq. ft. = 690 FPM
To Estimate Cooler Discharge Temperature
EDBT = Entering ambient dry bulb temperature in F.................................. EDBT = 90F
EWBT = Entering ambient wet bulb temperature in F................................. EWBT = 72F
LDBT = Leaving dry bulb temperature in F
EDBT - [pad efficiency* x (EDBT - EWBT)] = LDBT (F).............................. 90F - [89%* x (90F - 72F)] = 74F
Pad efficiency can be determined by using the calculated velocity and....... Pad efficiency is 89% for 12 Media at 690 FPM.
the evaporative cooling media curves (above).
To Estimate Water Evaporation
Evaporated water in gallons per hour is equal to

CFM x (EDBT - LDBT) 10,000 = Evaporated water (GPH)....................... 12,900 x (90F - 74F) 10,000 = 21 GPH
