Evaporative Cooling: A Natural and Efficient Method

Evaporative cooling is one of the simplest and most effective cooling methods. Just like the human body regulates its temperature through the evaporation of sweat, evaporative coolers rely on the same principle. In this process, cellulose pads play a key role as one of the most efficient evaporative media.

Ventilation and Cooling Principles in Power Plants

Cooler air has higher density, which increases airflow rate and pressure ratio in the turbine—ultimately boosting turbine efficiency. For every 1°C drop in temperature, efficiency can increase by up to 1%.

During peak summer heat, using cellulose pads for pre-cooling can enhance turbine capacity by up to 20%.

Additional benefits include:

• Increased water vapor at the turbine inlet → Reduced NOx emissions
• Prevention of dust and particulate ingress → Extended turbine lifespan
• Reduced need for periodic maintenance
