Abstract: An evaporative cooling system for a radiator and method for retrofitting an existing radiator with an evaporative cooling system is provided. The cooling system includes at least one spray nozzle configured to be connected to the radiator upstream of a radiator core and configured to distribute a mist of water to the radiator core; a water source configured to hold water for conveyance to the at least one spray nozzle; and a conduit assembly for conveying water from the water source to the at least one spray nozzle. The evaporative cooling system provides a quick and inexpensive solution for cooling radiators in situations where short-term extreme temperature events occur.

Abstract: A cleaning system may be used with a heat exchanger having a core and a fan. The core may include a first core face and an oppositely disposed second core face. The cleaning system may include a plurality of wash nozzles arranged between the first core face and the fan of the heat exchanger. The cleaning system may be used while the heat exchanger is in operation, reducing the downtime of the heat exchanger. A method of retrofitting a heat exchanger with a cleaning system may include arranging a plurality of wash nozzles between the first core face and the fan of the heat exchanger. A method of cleaning a heat exchanger may include arranging a plurality of wash nozzles between the first core face and the fan, supplying a cleaning fluid to the plurality of nozzles, and initiating a cleaning cycle while the heat exchanger is in operation so that the fan assists in moving the cleaning fluid through the core and removing accumulated debris from the second core face.
