Direct Evaporative Cooling Put simply, whenever water is evaporated, heat is absorbed. This basic principle underlies the design of the MasterCool direct evaporative cooler. Direct Evaporative Cooling Process Direct evaporative cooling exchanges sensible heat for latent heat, and follows upward along a constant wet-bulb temperature line on the Psychometric Chart. The result is a dry-bulb temperature of the leaving air (B) approaching the wet-bulb temperature of the entering air (A)

High Quality Construction Hot-dipped galvanized steel, welded for maximum strength is combined with our exclusive POLYBOND® finish that protects the whole system – cabinet pans, distributor covers, louvers, and all other parts contacting water. The electro-statically applied polyester-epoxy powder-based coating is cured at high temperature and is so durable that these models are backed by the best warranty in the industry.

Energy Efficient... Environmentally Friendly With no compressors or condensers, MasterCool evaporative coolers offer significant energy savings over mechanical refrigeration units; and, with no CFC’s, do not contribute to depletion of the ozone layer. Their air washing effect improves indoor air quality with fresh, filtered air constantly brought into the cooled space forcing stale air out.

Comfort Levels Not only does evaporative cooling lower the temperature in the space to be cooled, it also lowers the temperature you feel. Rapid air movement produced by the MasterCool increases skin evaporation which causes you to feel 3-5° effectively cooler than the temperature read from a thermometer. Evaporative cooling can provide effective temperatures acceptable in most commercial/industrial applications throughout the world.

Typical Applications The Industrial MasterCool is used for area cooling or spot cooling. In many areas it can replace or supplement mechanical refrigeration needs in agricultural, institutional, commercial, and industrial applications. Applications such as kitchens, laundries, gymnasiums, heat treating areas, and dry cleaning plants requiring large quantities of fresh air moving through the building are ideal candidates for evaporative cooling.

MasterCool Evaporative Media
MasterCool evaporative media is constructed of special cellulose material, impregnated with insoluble anti-rot salts and rigidifying saturants. The cross-fluted design continually directs water to the air-entering side, inducing a highly turbulent mixing of air and water for optimum heat and moisture transfer.

Standard and Hi-Performance Models The flexibility of modular components allows selection of CFM and saturation efficiencies producing the sensible heat capacities needed to meet design requirements. For many applications, our standard 8" media continues to be an economical choice, with an 80% saturation efficiency at 450 FPM. For more demanding design conditions, our 12" media offers 90% efficiency at around 450 FPM.
