The WDP100-AL gutter system is manufactured in extruded aluminium with plastic gutter joints, plumbing and tank which provides for an extremely durable system. Wouter Claassens, Munters' Applications Manager explains the benefits of the corrosion resistant mounting system.
"The corroding of metal parts is a recurring problem amongst gutters used to mount evaporative cooling pads. This leads to frequent leaks and a short life expectancy on such systems. Time is wasted on maintenance and product life expectancy is short. Because of this, we purposely designed all the parts of the WDP100-AL water distribution system using just these materials."
How it works
The main structural components of the system are the top and bottom extruded aluminium gutters. They have the dual purpose of holding the pads as well as distributing the water. A perforated water distribution pipe with a unique self-cleaning shape is incorporated into the top gutter. This gives even distribution of water onto the top of the pads, eliminating dry streaks in the pads. The panels are very sturdy which allows for a longer distance between mounting brackets.
Nice finish with good design
An incorporated distribution pipe and a clean smooth aluminium finish ensure a nice finish as well as quick and easy installation. The WDP100-AL comes with complete watering kits that provide all the necessary pipe work and fittings, filter, bleed-off and foot plate for the corrosion resistant pump, and flexible drainage connection required to complete an installation. The only external connection that has to be supplied is for connecting the supply water line to the valve in the tank.
Installation options
The WDP100-AL can be mounted in different configurations: watering kit with single or continuous section, watering kit with side entry and drain kit.
