Abstract
Adiabatic cooling pads are useful in order to reduce the temperature of the air entering in a cooling tower; this way, the system efficiency raises. The experimental setup consists on a prismatic wind tunnel in which the pad is placed. Ambient air enters the tunnel passing through the pad, while water is injected from the top of it.
