19-25: Adiabatic Fluid Coolers and Condensers: Impact of Pad System Design on Corrosion

19-25: Adiabatic Fluid Coolers and Condensers: Impact of Pad System Design on CorrosionClosed circuit coolers and refrigerant condensers which utilize air cooled heat exchange are growing in popularity for various reasons, but mainly to conserve water. However, in climates with high ambient temperatures, air cooled heat exchangers require too much capital cost, consume too much energy and or require too much plan area. In many cases, incorporating adiabatic pads on an air cooled heat exchanger (a. k. a., an adiabatic fluid cooler or
