    GENERAL FEATURES

    • Consistent cooling performance, year after year. • Self-Supporting – The inherent structural
    rigidity of each pad reduces the need for wire
    • Fast wet-out for maximum cooling at start-up. grids, framing or holding strips.
    · Low pressure drop to maximize air-flow. · Custom Sizes – Various heights and depths can
    · More Cooling than fiber pads. be cut for specific applications.

    · Longer Life – Up to five times as long as standard · Higher Air Velocity – Rigid Cellulose Media’s
    Aspen pads. unique design handles more than three times the
    air velocity of standard Aspen pads.
    APPLICATIONS
    Rigid Cellulose Media’s simplicity of installation is a direct result of its exclusive design and unique
    manufacturing process. Rigid Media is typically use for:

    • Comfort Cooling for plants, commercial buildings • Humidification for wintertime heating.
    and institutions.
    · Water Cooling for indirect evaporative coolers.
    · Pre-Cooling for air-cooled refrigeration systems.
    · Space Cooling for greenhouses.
    · Air Washers for industrial air conditioning
    systems. · Cooling for manufacturing processes.

    IMPORTANT !
    In order to get the best performance from your cooling pads, they must be installed properly.

    Pads must always be installed with the steeper flute angle sloping down toward the air
    entering side. The reasoning is simple. The steeper angle puts more water on the hot,
    dry, dirty side of the pad where it is needed most. It also counteracts the tendency of
    the air to push the water toward the pad. The leaving air side of replacement pads
    are marked across the top -back edge with red dye.

    To extend the useful life of your cooling pads, rotate the pads 180º degrees once each
    cooling season so that the top-back is now front-bottom. Red dye marked pads would
    now be at the front-bottom.

    If the media becomes clogged with contaminants and/or mineral deposits which cannot
    be removed by cleaning, or the media loses its structural integrity such that it restricts
    airflow, pad replacement is recommended.
