Optimising evaporative cooling efficiency

As temperatures rise, the demand for effective, robust, environmentally friendly cooling solutions becomes more demanding. CELdek cellulose evaporative panels from Munters offer an efficient, durable, sustainable and safe alternative to conventional cooling panels. This article delves into cellulose evaporative panels, exploring their characteristics, benefits and the importance of selecting reliable suppliers.

Refrigeration systems have become a key element in maintaining optimal temperatures inside the warehouses and improving the welfare and productive performance of the animals. In many cases, paper evaporative cooling panels are an ideal alternative for enhancing the cooling efficiency of facilities. 

How do cellulose evaporative panels work?

Cellulose evaporative panels must be specially designed to facilitate the natural evaporation process, in which hot air passes through the moistened cellulose panels, where a heat-to-moisture exchange is produced. As the hot air passes through the wet board, the water evaporates, passing into the air as air humidity. The heat absorbed in the process lowers the temperature of the air passing through the panel, and this is distributed inside the warehouses. This ecological, economical and energy-efficient cooling process makes evaporative panels popular in various industrial, commercial and residential settings.

The importance of choosing the right type of panels

The cooling panels must be made with high-quality paper, with an efficient design and manufactured with durable materials through sustainable and environmentally friendly processes, guaranteeing that they do not emit harmful substances that can be transported by the air when passing through them.

Environmentally friendly and safe for people and animals

Munters CELdek panels are produced with natural, raw materials and environmentally friendly processes. In addition, choosing products with certifications such as "Greenguard" ensures that the panels meet strict standards of low chemical emissions, promoting healthier indoor air quality. "Greenguard" certified cooling panels ensure they do not emit harmful substances during operation, making them ideal for environments with stringent health and environmental requirements.

Quality of material and design

• High water absorption: The cellulose used in manufacturing Munters CELdek panels has excellent water absorption and retention capabilities, allowing more efficient evaporation in the cooling process. Since they contain more water than other panels, they provide longer cooling cycles and greater cooling capacity. Besides having sufficient material, how the fibres are interconnected inside the paper is crucial since they must create the largest possible surface area to improve water distribution.
• Wave pattern: CELdek cooling panels use an optimised wave pattern, where design and angles are essential in maximising cooling efficiency. The angle and height of the waves are carefully designed to facilitate superior evaporation of water, producing a more powerful cooling effect than conventional panels. 
• Uniformity and precision: The manufacturing process of CELdek panels guarantees a uniform sheet arrangement. This precision ensures consistent cooling performance throughout the board, maintaining a stable temperature and a pleasant environment for animals and workers.
• Reduction in pressure drop: CELdek panels feature smooth surfaces that reduce pressure drop and energy consumption. This design optimises the cooling system's energy efficiency and ensures perfect operation.
• Durability and longevity: The quality of CELdek cellulose panels contributes to their durability and prolonging of their useful life. This makes them more resistant to environmental conditions and the mechanical stresses of use, ensuring reliable performance over a more extended period.
• Technical expertise and reliability: The choice of high-quality cooling panels optimises the evaporative cooling efficiency of the cooling system. The quantity and quality of the material, the sheet design, their surface and wave pattern, and precise manufacturing processes ensure superior performance, greater energy efficiency and outstanding durability.

Farmers must demand technical information from suppliers, such as angles used, wave size, efficiency curves, pressure drop data and examples of panel longevity, to decide on the product's use and purchase. Comparing this information between different vendors will help them determine what equipment to install.
