Refrigeration_capacity_effect_ageing_cellulose_cooling_pad [Dataset]

Dataset acquired for the study published in the article: “Refrigeration capacity and effect of ageing on the operation of cellulose evaporative cooling pads, by wind tunnel analysis”. This work has been funded by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) by means of research grant AGL2015-68050-R (Spain). This study investigates the temperature reduction capacity and water consumption of a fan-pad system installed in a greenhouse located in the coastal regions of Almería. The suitability of this system for coastal zones with high environmental humidity during the summer is analyzed. Historical temperature and relative humidity series are studied, obtaining the thermal difference and maximum, medium, and minimum monthly water consumption of the pads based on the operation data of the evaporative cooling pads.
