Abstract:
A once-through dry adiabatic cooler having a water distribution system, a waste water sensor, and a controller, where the amount of waste water, if any, is detected, and the amount of water distributed to an air flow path adjacent to the coils of said cooler is adjusted so that the amount of water detected is as close to zero as possible, or, in the case of the use of adiabatic pads that require flushing, only the amount of water necessary to flush salt and other minerals from said pads.

Claim (Index 6):
A method for reducing amount of water wasted in a once-through dry adiabatic cooler, said method comprising:\n forcing ambient air through a pair of tube bundles arranged in a vertically oriented V-shape; delivering fresh uncirculated water to an air flow path of said ambient air before it contacts said tube bundles; allowing said fresh uncirculated water to evaporate upon contact with said ambient air thereby cooling said ambient air before said ambient air contacts said tube bundles, measuring an amount of said fresh uncirculated water that is not evaporated; controlling an amount of said fresh uncirculated water that is delivered to said ambient air based on said measured amount of fresh uncirculated water that is not evaporated so that substantially all of a second amount of fresh uncirculated water is evaporated upon contact with said ambient air.
