FAQ
Common questions
Wet-bulb is the ceiling?
Yes — evaporative cooling cannot reduce inlet air below the outside wet-bulb temperature. In humid climates the ΔT achievable is smaller than in dry climates.
Water use?
3 L/min per m² of pad is typical operating flow; you'll also carry bleed-off for water quality management.
