EVAPORATION DEVICE AND SYSTEM

摘要

There is disclosed a device for evaporating fluid comprising an open frame member (12) having an upper portion and a lower portion. One or more fin members (14) mounted to said frame member (12) so as to extend at least partially between the upper portion and the lower portion. Each fin member (14) is comprised from a substantially porous material. One or more fluid delivery outlets (16) is in communication with a fluid source (21) and is configured to deliver fluid to an upper region of one or more of the fin members (14) to enable fluid to flow along the fin member (14) to a lower region of the fin member (14). A collector (27) is located below the one or more fin members (14) to collect and store fluid therein. The open frame member (12) is configured to permit air flow therethrough such that as air passes through or across the one or more fin members (14) evaporation of fluid from the one or more fin members (14) is facilitated, and any excess fluid present on the one or more fin members (14) is received in the collector (27).
