If the job requires installation of an easy-to-service evaporative air cooler that is
high performance and cost efficient, then the newly redesigned Penguin is the right tool for the job.
Redesigned to make installation, servicing and maintenance easy, the Penguin is improved to meet the increased
performance needs of commercial and industrial markets. Cost-efficiency is realized through reduced service
and maintenance costs and cooling efficiency is achieved through improved design. The Penguin measures
up to any project.
The redesigned Penguin
puts the right angle on
accessibility. No special
tools are required. The
lightweight UV-stabilized
PVC louver grilles can be
easily removed for quick
access to the rigid
evaporative media pack.
Simply release the
stainless steel spring clips
and lift out the grilles.
Access to the inner
workings of the motor and
blower is just as
convenient. Once the
louver grilles are removed,
simply pull out the non-
corrosive stainless steel
frame containing the
rigid evaporative
media pack. For
additional convenience
during service or
maintenance, the
removable lightweight
ABS plastic water
distribution system can be
removed for easy access.
The Penguin’s easy
access features make
service and maintenance
visits quick and
productive.
The better the tools the
better the performance.
That’s why the Penguin
includes the features of
dual inlet pad assemblies
which allow for straight-
line air flow at each side
of the blower housing.
This flow creates less
resistance through the
media resulting in
improved performance
and increased
efficiencies.
As the air flows into the
Penguin, it crosses a
rigid evaporative
T
media pack. The
rigid evaporative
media is created from
treated cellulose to stay
rigid and to resist
biological degradation
resulting in a long lasting
pad life. The rigid
evaporative media also
maintains a high
absorption rate to provide
a continuous wet surface
for efficient cooling. A
secondary polyester pad
acts a moisture barrier
and as an air filter to
provide fresh air.
All of the Penguin

The vacuum-

Rigid media The rigid media primary
filter is created from treated cellulose
to stay rigid and to resist biological
degradation resulting in a long lasting
pad life.
Cabinet Panels Heavy-gauge, galvanized
steel forms the cabinet side panels and
other load bearing components for added
durability. An electrostatically-applied
polyester-urethane powder-based finish
protects the cabinet inside and out from
weather, chalking and any discoloring.
A distribution pad located
under the water distributor eliminates stray
water leaks from the evaporative media pack.
The water hoses and fittings
have been sized to eliminate the need for an
acrylic adapter tube at the inlet to the water
distributor and the leaks associated with
any extra fittings.
The
water distributor’s
location at the top of the
module frame provides better water
distribution across the evaporative media
for greater cooling efficiencies.
Louver Grilles The lightweight UV-stabilized
PVC louver grilles are independent of the ABS
module framework for easy removal and quick
access to the rigid evaporative media
pack and the inner mechanics.
