Can I convert a woodwool evaporative cooler to CELdek?
Hi Clive,
Firstly, what a great web site!!!! Congratulations and many thanks.
I have an old Breeze Air (Seeley) EA 9 D which is
in need of new pads. I would really like to use Celdek pads in it. Would it be possible to convert the 4 frames to take Celdek Pads and water dispersers?
I have not seen the Celdek pads, but have been told
that they slide into channels at the sides, so I was thinking aluminium channels may be OK.

I am a professional Handyman with over
20 years experience so if it can
be done then I should be able to do it. The only thing holding me back is not knowing if the Celdek will
physically fit into the EA 9 D and its a bit expensive to buy on the off-chance.

Thanks in advance for any light you may be able to shed on this.

The problem with trying to convert a woodwool cooler to a CELdek cooler is that the CELdek is thicker than the woodwool. As most coolers (including the EA9D) are designed to be as compact as possible, this means there is usually no space for the CELdek to fit. (If you use CELdek the same thickness as the woodwool you
won’t get enough cooling and you may overload the motor.)
To get Celdek to fit you would basically have to rebuild the pads completely and have them projecting further out from the cooler. I don’t recommend this as an option.
