The Centrifugal Evaporative Cooling
System uses a simple spraying
system combined with a reliable fan
to atomize water into a super-fine
dry vapor that provides the cooling
effect. It does not use nozzles, high
pressure pumps or compressors.
The Centrifugal Cooling Fan can
be ceiling mounted or comes
in a mobile unit.
