  • Method of Enhancing Performance of a Porous Evaporative Media
    Publication number: 20230314015
    Abstract: The method of improving an evaporative performance of a porous evaporative media in a cooling system that utilizes water evaporation for heat transfer, the method comprising contacting the porous evaporative media with a nonionic surfactant, optionally in combination with an antiscalant.

  • System and Method of Monitoring Adiabatic Cooling Media
    Publication number: 20230127399
    Abstract: The disclosed systems and method for evaluating the integrity of media pads within an adiabatic cooling system includes at least one media compartment containing at least one media coupon that is representative of at least one of the media pads. The system is adapted to be fluidly coupled to a source of representative process water and to provide such water to the at least one media compartment. A source of airflow fluidly is also coupled to the at least one media compartment. The flow of representative process water and airflow to the media coupon within the media compartment simulates the operation of the adiabatic cooling system. The at least one media coupon may then be analyzed as representative of media pads within the adiabatic cooling system.
