the reason for using a cellulose pad in a dry cooling tower is to create a highly efficient and water-conscious hybrid system.
- Primary Goal: To boost the cooling capacity of a dry system during peak ambient temperatures.
- Method: By adiabatically pre-cooling the inlet air through efficient evaporation within a cellulose pad.
- Benefit: It allows the system to enjoy the water-saving benefits of a dry cooler for most of the year, with the high-performance capabilities of an evaporative cooler only when absolutely necessary, all while using minimal water and protecting the core heat exchanger.
This makes the “dry cooler with cellulose pad” one of the most popular and effective designs for sustainable cooling in water-scarce regions.
