What are cooling cell pads?

Cell pads consist of corrugated sheets of cellulose gathered in an opposite sequence, which generates air passage inside the cell. These sheets have very high ability in absorbing water and are chemically treated to prevent disintegration.

How do cooling cell pads work?

The idea of cell pads in closed spaces depends upon inducing a negative pressure inside the house by using suction fans where passage of air is restricted only within the saturated cells with water. The air works on evaporating the water that is contained in the cells and passes inside the house with calculated velocity, causing a decrease in temperature.

Using Water Vaporization: it means conversion of water as a liquid into vapor (steam). Converting one liter of water into vapor needs energy equal to 560 kilo calories or 2.2 B.T.U 9 (British Thermal Unit). For the water to evaporate it needs energy. This energy is obtained from the surrounding area (the pads).

Using Wind Chill Factor: when the wind speed is high, the feeling of coldness increases. Although the temperature has not changed whatsoever, there is a directly proportional relationship between wind speed and cold feeling.
