Patent ID: 7610770

Claim:
An assembly for connecting two evaporative cooling modules, the assembly comprising a lower module having evaporative cooling components and a top structural edge, an upper module having evaporative cooling components and a bottom structural edge, the top structural edge of the lower module comprising an outer structural component and an inner sealing component, the outer structural component of the top structural edge of the lower module having an inner generally flat surface and top generally flat surface, the inner sealing component of the top structural edge of the lower module having an outer generally flat surface that abuts the inner generally flat surface of the outer structural component of the top structural edge of the lower module, the inner sealing component of the top structural edge of the lower module having a top generally flat surface, the bottom structural edge of the upper module comprising an outer structural component and an inner sealing component, the outer structural component of the bottom structural edge of the upper module having an inner generally flat surface and a bottom generally flat surface, the bottom generally flat surface of the outer structural component of the bottom structural edge of the upper module being adjacent and supported by the top generally flat surface of the outer structural component of the top structural edge of the lower module, the inner sealing component of the bottom structural edge of the upper module having an outer generally flat surface that abuts the inner generally flat surface of the outer structural component of the bottom structural edge of the upper module, the inner sealing component of the bottom structural edge of the upper module having a bottom generally flat surface, and the bottom generally flat surface of the inner sealing component of the bottom structural edge of the upper module being adjacent the top generally flat surface of the inner sealing component of the top structural edge of the lower module.
