Selecting an evaporative cooling pad begins with an understanding of its internal structure. A product model number alone cannot indicate the cooling performance inside a poultry house, verify if the existing fans can provide sufficient airflow, or identify which quote delivers the best value.
Core differences lie in flute geometry: standard 5090 specifications feature a nominal 5 mm flute height, 6090 models adopt 6 mm, while both 7090 and 7060 variants generally use 7 mm flutes. Flute angles are another critical factor. A 7090 cooling pad can come in either 45°/45° or 30°/60° angle combinations, whereas the typical 7060 setup applies 45°/15°. Always review the supplier’s technical drawings and performance data prior to placing your order. Reference product samples can be viewed at: UltraCool’s 5090 specifications, its 6090 specifications, and Wusen’s model table.
For equipment makers, distributors, farm operators and project contractors, the key question is which full cooling pad specification matches the required airflow, cooling load and available installation space.
The following table summarizes published manufacturer conventions. It is a selection reference, not a specification sheet for every supplier’s product.
Model | Nominal flute height | Published flute-angle examples | Main selection question |
5090 | 5 mm | 45°/45° | Does this geometry provide the required cooling within the equipment’s depth and fan-pressure limits? |
6090 | 6 mm | 45°/45° | Does the proposed 6 mm design improve the balance of cooling, resistance, and cost for this installation? |
7090 | 7 mm | 45°/45° or 60°/30° | Which angle version is being quoted, and does its performance curve suit the project? |
7060 | 7 mm | 45°/15° | Does this design meet the airflow requirement with an acceptable cooling result and pressure drop? |
The 6090 dimensions and angles are also documented by Kool&Cel. Cell Deck separately lists 7090 at 45°/45° and 7090 at 60°/30°, illustrating why the full specification matters.
Pad thickness, cooling efficiency, and service life must be specified separately. None can be reliably inferred from these four model numbers.
Flute height refers to the height of the corrugation on the paper, while flute angle indicates the orientation of the corrugation inside the assembled media. Combined, these characteristics shape the channels for air and water flow.
In the reference examples listed above, the first digit denotes a nominal flute height of 5, 6 or 7 mm. The final number corresponds to the sum of the paired angles: 45° + 45° and 60° + 30° both add up to 90°, whereas 45° + 15° totals 60°.
You may use this rule to interpret product catalogues. Nonetheless, the approved technical drawing shall serve as the official reference for purchasing and replacement compatibility.
A 7090 cooling pad does not necessarily have a thickness of 90 mm, nor does a 7060 pad automatically come with a 6 mm flute. Order specifications must separately specify the height, width and depth, along with clear indication of measurement orientations.
For instance, the label “7090 cooling pad” alone is insufficient. A complete quotation should also specify the angle configuration, panel dimensions, material type, coating treatment, quantity, and required performance under the project’s operating conditions.
A reduced‑size flute can expand the available contact surface area within a given volume of cooling media; nevertheless, it may also raise airflow resistance. Actual performance outcomes depend on other geometric parameters as well as site‑specific operating conditions. Condair’s technical resource at https://thekuuleffect.com/resources/knowledge-center/flute-height-angle-evaporative-media/ illustrates this performance trade‑off via efficiency and pressure‑drop characteristic curves.
For compact air‑cooler applications, the 5090 design warrants evaluation where installation depth is constrained, provided the manufacturer supplies valid performance data for this geometry. It is critical to verify that the selected fan can deliver the required airflow across the fully wetted pad within the assembled unit.
Request documentation covering both cooling capacity and achievable airflow. Favorable temperature readings obtained under reduced airflow conditions alone do not confirm that equipment satisfies its design duty requirements.
The 6090 configuration offers an intermediate nominal flute height between the 5 mm and 7 mm specifications. Whilst this makes it a valid option for comparative assessment, it does not guarantee that every 6090‑series product delivers mid‑range efficiency, pressure‑drop, or pricing performance.
Kool&Cel publishes its product data at https://www.koolancel.com/en/6090-product-series/. A key procurement takeaway: ask for the full‑performance map for the specific product on offer, rather than relying on a single headline efficiency percentage value.
The 7090 variant serves as a practical baseline for pad‑wall projects on livestock farms and in greenhouses. UltraCool targets these use‑cases on its product page: https://www.ultracool.co.in/ultracool-7090.html, and alternative suppliers also produce a 60°/30° angular variant.
For new installations, compare available angle options against fan specifications and cooling load demands. For retrofits on existing systems, retrieve the original technical specification before assuming that an identical model designation ensures suitable replacement compatibility.
The distinction between these two families is especially important because both may have a nominal 7 mm flute height. Their channels can still have different geometry.
The official CELdek product information identifies a 60°/30° configuration for its 7090 product and 45°/15° for its 7060 product. Cell Deck also positions its 7060 product for applications requiring higher air velocity.
These are product-specific examples. They support evaluating a 7060 design where airflow and resistance are important, but do not establish a universal performance ranking for every 7090 and 7060 pad.
For a meaningful comparison, request the two products’ wet pressure-drop and saturation-efficiency curves at the required depth and face velocity. Then check the fan’s operating point with the complete system resistance included.
A useful supplier question is: “At our design airflow and available pad area, which configuration meets the cooling requirement while keeping total static pressure within the fan’s operating range?”
Why Do Thickness, Airflow and Climate Change the Comparison?
Compare the same thickness and face velocity
Use a common starting condition when comparing media designs: the same depth, face velocity, and stated water conditions. If you change thickness or pad area to optimize the installation, assess that as a separate system option.
For instance, comparing a thin 5090 sample with a much deeper 7090 sample cannot isolate the effect of model geometry. Record every changed parameter in the comparison sheet.
Saturation efficiency describes how closely a conventional direct evaporative stage approaches the entering air’s wet-bulb temperature. It varies with media geometry and airflow. The EnergyPlus engineering reference describes this relationship and the role of manufacturer performance data.
An illustrative calculation is:
With entering air at 35°C dry bulb, 25°C wet bulb, and an assumed efficiency of 80%, the estimated pad leaving-air temperature is 27°C. This is a calculation example, not a measured result for any of the four models. The eventual building temperature also depends on its heat loads and air distribution.
Keep the required ventilation rate in the acceptance criteria throughout selection. Ask the supplier to report airflow, pressure, and temperature together.
For farm buildings, send the building layout and ventilation design to the equipment supplier. For a packaged air cooler, provide the fan information and available installation space. These details allow a more useful assessment than the model code alone.
Use the application to define what the pad must achieve. Treat the following as a purchasing workflow rather than a fixed model assignment.
Application | First information to establish | How to build the shortlist |
Packaged or compact air coolers | Available depth, fan characteristics, and required delivered airflow | Compare the offered 5090, 6090, and 7090 configurations at the actual equipment conditions. |
Poultry and livestock pad walls | Required ventilation, pad area, and permitted system resistance | Evaluate the available 7090 and 7060 options against the ventilation design and cooling target. |
Greenhouses | Local design climate, crop-environment targets, and ventilation layout | Select from configurations supported by suitable performance data; check the proposed air distribution. |
Industrial installations and retrofits | Process heat load, building openings, equipment constraints, and existing fan duty | Compare complete installation options, including any required fan or frame changes. |
These shortlists do not exclude another model that satisfies the specification. The acceptance decision should follow documented performance and fit.

A substitution needs more checks than matching the outside dimensions. Before changing from 5090 to 6090, 7090 to 7060, or another combination, confirm:
The opening dimensions, pad depth, and frame support.
The nominal flute height and exact angle configuration.
The required installation orientation.
The pressure drop and delivered airflow in wet operation.
The water-distribution arrangement and operating requirements.
The cooling result required at the project’s design conditions.
Follow the directional labels supplied with the media. Condair’s installation guide specifically emphasizes identifying the top and air-entering face.
For an unfamiliar substitution, agree on sample evaluation and acceptance criteria before placing the full order. Existing-system cleaning and servicing are covered separately in Shuncheng’s Cooling Pad System Maintenance guide.
Compare quotations for a defined specification. A lower price per panel is difficult to assess when the panels differ in depth, dimensions, coating, or included accessories.
Illustrative dimensional example: a panel measuring 1.8 m high × 0.6 m wide × 0.15 m deep has a face area of 1.08 m² and a media volume of 0.162 m³. These values help convert a quotation per panel into a comparable price per square metre or cubic metre.
Once dimensions are normalized, check what each quotation includes: bare media or a framed assembly, coating, packaging, accessories, delivery terms, and any agreed performance documentation.
For the installed system, compare the quoted equipment and installation costs alongside the estimated operating costs under the same duty. Keep the assumed operating hours and electricity price visible. A model number alone cannot establish energy savings or payback.
An RFQ, or request for quotation, should give the supplier enough information to recommend a product and return a comparable offer.
RFQ item | Information to provide |
Project or equipment | Air cooler model, farm building, greenhouse, or industrial application. |
Location and design conditions | Project location and available temperature/humidity or dry-bulb/wet-bulb data. |

If the geometric parameters of your existing cooling pad are unknown, provide sharp photographs of the product label, side cross‑section and installed condition, alongside physical dimension measurements. Request your supplier to resolve any outstanding ambiguities prior to approving an equivalent replacement product.
No. Within the reference cases covered in this material, the model code denotes flute geometry. Panel depth constitutes an independent ordering parameter and must be clearly specified.
This is not the case for the standard configuration covered in this comparison. The referenced 7060 variant features a nominal 7 mm flute height paired with 45°/15° flute angles. Always verify the technical drawing for the exact item being supplied.
No general conclusion can be drawn purely from the model identifier. Evaluate quoted products under target pad thickness, face velocity and site installation conditions, based on both cooling efficiency and pressure‑drop performance data.
Compatibility is determined by the equipment’s original design. Before choosing a 5090 as a replacement, verify physical dimensions, airflow capacity, water distribution performance and the OEM’s approved media specification.
While the 7060 configuration merits consideration for projects sensitive to airflow resistance, selecting this model alone cannot overcome inherent limitations of direct evaporative cooling. Base your decision on local design conditions and full‑system performance requirements.
Colour is not an indicator of flute geometry. Clarify whether the colour is purely an aesthetic option or corresponds to a defined protective treatment, and separately obtain underlying model, base‑material and coating specifications.
Ask for a product‑specific technical datasheet containing dimensioned drawings, flute‑geometry parameters and wetted‑performance data matching your expected operating envelope. Use this document to evaluate quotations and validate pre‑production samples.
