Abstract:
1. A convector for cooling a fluid circulating in a pipe, comprising: a finned tube bundle for circulating a fluid to be cooled; a fan for producing an air flow such that said air flow contacts an outside surface of said finned tube bundle; an adiabatic chamber through which said air flow passes, said adiabatic chamber being positioned upstream of said tube bundle with respect to the air flow direction, water being nebulized inside the chamber through nebulizer nozzles, said adiabatic chamber being defined by side panels and by at least two evaporation fill packs positioned in the chamber respectively at an inlet and outlet thereof, in the direction in which the air flow passes therethrough, the air passing through said fill packs and the adiabatic chamber such that the air vaporizes the injected water by transferring thereto evaporation heat, whereby the air is cooled before passing through the tube bundle.
