Abstract
An evaporative cooling system includes a housing with an air outlet and inlet structure. An endless belt is of a material to which a liquid may cling and is transparent to air flow so as to achieve evaporation. A portion of the belt extends through a reservoir and the belt is driven in movement therethrough. Blower apparatus is disposed to draw air through the inlet and the belt and exhaust the air through the outlet. A metering drum controllably exhausts reservoir liquid for the purpose of reducing contamination.
