<p>A method and means for entry of water to the water distribution system for evaporative pads in fixed or moveable evaporative air coolers. Water enters the water entry system through a conduit (18) to at least one of the uppermost corners of the lid of the evaporative cooler. The corner or corners include a capped water entry point (27) which causes the water to form a substantially uniform curtain of water which is then collected in at least one open channel (26, 30). Water collected by the open channel (26, 30) is conveyed to the water spreader system of the evaporative cooler. All components of the water entry system are positioned on the upper surface of the evaporative cooler and are thereby accessible for cleaning and maintenance.</p> |
