Abstract: The present application provides a filtration apparatus assembly having a holding frame with a number of square holding frame apertures. The filtration apparatus assembly may include a cylindrical filter and a mounting frame. The mounting frame may include a mounting frame aperture sized for the cylindrical filter and a mounting frame flange sized for the square holding frame apertures.

Abstract: An evaporative cooler, and associated method, that includes an evaporative pad including a liquid coolant-receiving surface at which a liquid coolant distributed to the evaporative pad is received and thereafter passes into the evaporative pad. The evaporative cooler also includes a liquid coolant distribution trough that includes an upper portion configured to hold liquid coolant and a lower portion contiguous with the upper portion. The lower portion includes an opening and a fabric distribution layer in place over the opening through which the liquid coolant held in the upper portion of the liquid coolant distribution trough passes and is distributed to the liquid coolant-receiving surface of the evaporative pad.

Abstract: A portable filter testing assembly for testing filter elements is provided. The portable filter testing assembly includes a first modular component including filter elements disposed within an interior and a fluid flow inlet. The testing assembly further includes a second modular component in fluid communication with the first modular component and includes fluid flow drawing means for drawing fluid flow through the filter elements of the first modular component such that the fluid flow is filtered by the filter elements. Each of the first modular component and second modular component includes an external structure of a modular International Organization for Standardization (ISO) shipping container. A kit of plural modular components for testing filter elements is provided. A method of using ISO modular components for testing filter elements is also provided.

Abstract: An evaporative cooler, and associated method, that includes an evaporative pad including a liquid coolant-receiving surface at which a liquid coolant distributed to the evaporative pad is received and thereafter passes into the evaporative pad. The evaporative cooler also includes a liquid coolant distribution container that includes an upper portion configured to hold liquid coolant and a lower portion contiguous with the upper portion. The lower portion includes an opening and a permeable bed in place over the opening through which the liquid coolant held in the upper portion of the liquid coolant distribution container passes and is distributed to the liquid coolant-receiving surface of the evaporative pad.

Abstract: A method of assembling an evaporative cooler for use with a gas turbine engine system. The method includes coupling a drain pan to a support frame, wherein the drain pan includes a front wall and a back wall. A media support assembly is coupled to the drain pan to form the evaporative cooler. The media support assembly includes a media support wall and a rear flange. The media support wall extends substantially perpendicularly from the drain pan front wall and defines a continuous drainage chamber between the drain pan front wall and the back wall.

Abstract: An evaporative cooler for cooling air includes a cooling housing having an air inlet and an air outlet and an evaporation media, located within the cooling housing intermediate the air inlet and the air outlet for air flow there through and for receiving water to permit evaporation of at least some water. The evaporative cooler includes a drain pan located within the cooling housing and below the evaporation media to catch water which has not evaporated and falling from the evaporation media and a sump located within the cooling housing and below the drain pan for collecting water for use in supplying water to the evaporation media. The evaporative cooler includes a pipe connecting the drain pan to the sump for water movement from the drain pan to the sump and an air vent located within the cooling housing and connected to the pipe, the air vent being open to air within the cooling housing and above the drain pan to permit release of air from within the pipe.
