Building Preparation
Location of Pad System: Typical Pad/Fan Relative
Locations
The Kool-Cel pad should be placed away from the fans
(opposite) so that cooled air can flow through the
building without turbulence. Pads should be no more
than 250’ from the fans in greenhouse buildings to
avoid excessive temperature rise and velocities. In a
greenhouse, the top of the pad should be near the top
of the crop or have its midpoint centered on the
midpoint of the crop.
In poultry and livestock installations the pad is
generally placed on the outside of the building so that
the top of the pad is not below the highest desired
cooling level. An eave extending beyond the PDR
system is recommended.
Framed Opening and Sizes
Note: If the 12” Extension Kit is to be used, refer to the
Extension Kit instructions for proper framing
dimensions.
Note: The side wall structural members should be left
intact as shown in figure 1.
Stringers
The framing and support stringers could be any type of material (metal channels, rectangular or square tubes,
treated wood, etc.). The design should provide a flat surface for mounting support brackets and the lower stringer
should be capable of carrying a load of 2.74 lbs. per sq. ft. of pad for the 4” system or 4.11 lbs. per sq. ft. for the
6” system. All framing in this manual refers to 2” x 6” treated wood. The framed opening must be vertical and
square for proper installation of the system. The use of a chalk line during stringer installation will aid in keeping
the system square.

Sump Tank and Cover
Provide a tank with a capacity of 3/4 gallon per square foot of pad area for 4” pads and 1 gallon per square foot of
pad area for 6” pads. A tank cover should be provided capable of supporting the pump (#30-35 lbs., #60-50 lbs.).
The sump should be set in place prior to start of the installation of the distribution and return system.
Optional Transition Pump Tank
See page 12.
System Installation
After installing all framing materials, the Kool-Cel distribution and return system will go together simply and quickly
following the instructions step by step.
Gutter Installation
Gutter Support Brackets
1. To locate the gutter support bracket position on the bottom stringer, refer to chalk line shown in
figure 2. The chalk line should be 1” down from the top of the stringer and run its full length. The
chalk line will be used to locate the top hole position of the brackets. Hole spacing is shown in
figure 2 and figure 3.
Hints:
Framing - Verify framing installation using instructions in framed opening B and in figure 1 on page 3. If
framing is not properly installed as shown the system will not operate properly.
Caulking - Where the following instructions refer to caulking, use the ½” caulking tape provided with the
system unless otherwise specified.
Packages - Place all cartons in the areas of installation and open the top of the carton. Do not remove the
material until needed. The "basic" package contains all parts for each end of the system, end
sections, elbows, plugs, etc. A packing slip describes all parts and is included in every box.
The "regular" packages (5’ and 10’) contain all the parts between each end to make your system
the desired length. All regular packages contain a packing slip listing all materials contained in
the packages. Note: All packing slips and maintenance instructions should be retained for future
reference.

2. Install all gutter support brackets (1) as shown in figure 3, making sure brackets are vertical.
Gutter
Once assembled, the entire gutter simply sits in the gutter support brackets, therefore it may be easier to
assemble the entire gutter on level ground then set it into the brackets in one piece. Ground must be level
or gutter will be warped when assembled.
1. Locate the gutter end section (1) that includes an end cap and pre-drilled drain hole. Install the 4”
threaded tank fitting into the pre-drilled drain hole.
2. At the open end of the gutter end section, place caulking tape on each side of the bolt holes as in
figure 4. Place the next gutter section inside the gutter end section, overlapping the first section with
the notched end (located under flange) toward the drain end. Line up the bolt holes and secure with
#10 - 24 x ½” hex head screws and #10 - 24 whiz lock nuts. Continue assembling gutter sections
until complete, always overlapping with the notched end toward the drain end.
3. Attach the pad support sections to the gutter sections by lining up the holes and securing with #10 -
24 x ½” hex head screws and #10 - 24 whiz lock nuts.

System Top Installation
1. Beginning at the drain end, install the top
cover support sections and the pipe
hangers to the top stringer by lining up the
top holes of the top cover support sections
with the chalkline on the top stringer.
Attach the hangers and the top cover
support sections to the stringers with 1/4” x
1 ½” hex head screws as shown in figure 6,
and figure 7 (4” systems) or figure 8
(6” systems).
2. Caulk the top cover support sections at the seams then center the top cover connectors over each
seam and attach with #10 24 x ½” screws as shown in figure 9.
3. Place a 10’ section of 1 ½” pipe with the metered holes up into the pipe hangers at the drain end of
the system. Enough pipe should extend beyond the end of the top cover support to later attach a
90° elbow for plumbing installation as in figure 10.

4. Installa1½”slip joint coupling on the pipe end away from the drain and assemble another 10’
section of pipe. Do not use PVC cement on these joints. The coupling and pipe should be
pushed tightly together but not cemented. Make sure the metered holes are at the top so the
water will spray directly upward for proper water distribution.
5. Install the remaining pipe using the 1 ½” couplings (no cement), always making certain that the
metered holes point directly upward. Again, enough pipe should extend beyond the opposite end to
later attacha1½”teeforinstallation of the bleed-off clean-out assembly.
End Panel Installation
1. Locate the two end closure panels. Select the panel that will have the channel legs toward the pads
on the drain end. Set the bottom of the end closure panel inside the gutter (see figure 11) and attach
with #10 - 24 hex head screws and whiz lock nuts. Locate the proper top cover end cap and slip it
over the pipe. Attach it to the top stringer with two 1/4” x 1 1/4” screws.
2. Next, attach the end closure panel to the top cover end cap with #10 - 24 hex head screws and whiz
lock nuts (see figure 12). Install the end closure panel and top cover end cap on the opposite end in
the same manner.
Note: If the chalklines on the top and bottom stringer were marked correctly and all sections
installed on the chalklines, the end closure panels will match the pre-drilled holes in the gutter end
cap and the top cover end cap.
Top/Pipe Cover Installation
Beginning at the drain end, install the end section of the top cover assembly with #10 ½” hex head screws. The
pipe cover should be assembled to the top cover as shown in figure 13 for 4” systems and figure 14 for 6”
systems. Continue installing top/pipe cover sections until complete. Top cover connectors should match the
joints of the top/pipe cover sections to prohibit leaks between the joints.

Pad Installation
1. Install the pads before installing the top cover. (Installing pads with top cover in place could
result in pad damage and the “springing” of the top cover which could result in improper channeling
of the water.) Place the bottom of the pad firmly on the pad support and under the pipe as shown in
figure 15 for 4” systems and figure 16 for 6” systems. 4” Pads install in any direction. 6” pads must
be installed as shown below with the higher angle of the flutes pointing upward and toward
the building. (If you can see through the flutes you should be looking at the ceiling of the building).
2. 4” pads over 48” tall require tall pad supports.
Install between every other pad, centered
between the top and bottom and the front and
back of the pads. Holding the tall pad support
in position, press the pads together until the
support sticks into both pads.
Note: The last pad installed should not be at
either end since it may need to be trimmed to
fit remaining space easily. Do not force the
last pad into a space that is smaller than the
pad. Pad retainers cannot be used on either
side of the last pad installed.
3. To seal the ends of the system apply caulking
tape to the pipe extending outside the end cap
as shown in figure 18. Cut the tape to fit
around the pipe. Press the end plate firm
against the top cover and wrap the tape
around the pipe, snug against the end plate.
Trim away excess tape.

Start Up and Testing
I. Test water - Make up water should be tested for Ph level and soluble salts. Ph must be between 6
and 9 and salt concentrates below 40,000 ppm. See “Pad Care” on page 14.
II. Float valve - Open the water supply line to the sump. Adjust the float valve so the water shuts off
before the water level in the tank reaches the top of the overflow pipe.
III. Pump - Prime the pump (#30 and #60) per instructions received with the pump.
IV. Flush the system to clean out all accumulated debris as follows:
1. Remove plug from bleed-off end of system
2. Open the flow valve. Close clean out valve.
3. Be sure pump is primed prior to operation. Run power to pump and let the system flush out
for approximately 5 minutes.
4. Shut the pump off and replace plugs.
V. Turn on the pump and be sure the water is flowing from all holes in the distribution pipe. Clean out
any holes that are not spraying water.
VI. Remove top covers and adjust the flow valve until the water sprays approximately 12” in the air.
Replace the top covers and your system is ready for operation.
Maintenance
A regular maintenance schedule should be set up to keep your Kool-Cel system operating at peak efficiency and
to maximize the life of the system.
I. A visual check should be made whenever you’re in the area of the pad.
1. Check for dry spots on the pad.
2. Check for algae and scale on pads. See “Pad Care” on page 14.
II. During the cooling season, when the pad is in operation:
1. Weekly
a. Clean out strainer to prevent possible damage to pump. This may need to be done
twice a week.
b. Clean out sediment plugs at the ends of system. (Remove plugs and drain into a
bucket with system pump off. Replace plugs.)
c. Drain the sump to remove sediment; usually every two to four weeks. In areas with
extremely high salt concentrates, this should be done weekly to lower salt
concentrates in the sump. (Close the valve, connect hose to the hose bibb, open
hose bibb and turn on the pump.)
2. Monthly
a. Inspect the complete system:
1) Check for leaks and repair.
2) Check bleed-off connection to insure bleed-off is occurring at all times.
3) Check the strainer from the down spout in the sump - replace if necessary.
b. Test water for Ph level (make-up water and sump water). See “Pad Care” on page
14.
Note: Temperature in a greenhouse that is empty will be considerably higher than a greenhouse with
plants as the plants assist cooling by their transpiration.

PDR 4" and 6” Evaporative Cooling
System
3. Start and End of Cooling Season
a. At the end of the season, drain the pump and piping system to avoid damage
caused by rust and impure particles in the water. If the system is outside of the
building, you must drain and remove the pump to avoid freeze damage.
b. To restart the system in the spring, follow the “Start up and Testing” procedures on
page 13.
c. Inspect all parts and pads and replace any damaged or worn parts. See parts list
and drawings on appropriate page or “Exploded View of System” on page 9.
Pad Care
Kool-Cel pads are very durable and long lasting. To maximize the life of your pads and keep the efficiency of the
original installation, review the following items and take necessary action to correct any conditions that may be
detrimental to the pad.
I. Ph of recirculating water (from sump) must be maintained between 6 and 9 (7 is pure water). If
these limits are exceeded, the stiffening agents in the pad will leach out and destroy the pad. Water
containing acids to a degree that the Ph is below 6.0 aromatic hydrocarbons, or wetting and
dispersing agents, such as phosphates can be harmful to the pad.
II. Hard Water resulting in calcium carbonate deposits on the pad is not harmful, but should be kept
within limits. The well known Longelier formula can help to approximate the Ph above which the
scaling will appear. The help of a good water treatment expert is advisable if any hardness problems
are encountered.
III. Sodium Chloride (salt water) concentrate above 50,000 ppm (approx.) will deposit salt on the pad
and reduce air flow. Keep salt concentrates below 50,000 ppm in recirculating water and below
40,000 ppm in make-up water.
IV. Algae will grow on any surface that is wet and exposed to sunlight. To help prevent algae build up,
follow these tips:
1. Do not draw make-up water from an open pond. Use well water or chlorinated water from
city systems.
2. Cover the sump to avoid exposure to sunlight and airborne particles and keep animals from
drinking it.
3. Keep the fans running after the pump is shut off to dry the pads, thus killing the algae spores
left on the pad.
4. Isolate the water make-up system from any other system that may carry fertilizers which
would enhance algae growth.
5. If algae persists, use a swimming pool water algaecide non-chlorine, chloride (tablet type) in
the sump about 1/4 the concentrate suggested for pools.
V. Airborne dust and bugs do not seem to clog the air flow passages of Kool-Cel. When the system is
running this clogging washes away.
VI. When Kool-Cel is installed within reach of poultry or livestock it should be guarded. To guard from
poultry birds, a 10 x 14 mesh guard approximately 8” - 12” from the pad and the full length of the
system should be provided up to approximately 3” from the bird’s feet. The pad should be protected
from livestock with a full heavy gage wire screen approximately 2” x 2” mesh and placed at least 6”
from the pad.
VII. Bleed-Off - Since the water is continuously evaporating and being replaced by fresh water, the salts
and minerals are left behind in the re-circulating water. As these impurities become concentrated,
they build up in the pads unless preventive steps are taken. To reduce the build up of deposits and
scale, a bleed-off of 1 to 2 percent of the recirculating water is usually required. This is particularly
true in areas that have a high mineral content in the water. The required bleed-off is provided by the
bleed-off fitting in the plug.
