This is the fifth section of the open-source design documentation for the forced-air evaporative cooling chamber, developed by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) D-Lab, and led by research engineer and J-WAFS principal investigator (2019-2022) Eric Verploegen.

This section covers the plumbing system for the forced-air evaporative cooling chamber. The system is designed to control the delivery of water over the evaporative cooling pads.

The key components needed for the plumbing system are:

A lower water tank as a reservoir
An upper tank to supply water to the cooling pads
A submersible water pump to deliver water from the lower tank to the upper tank
Electrically activated solenoid values to regulate water flow from the upper tank into the cooling pads
Evaporative cooling pads
Water collection and return to the lower water reservoir
PVC pipe, hose, and fitting to connect the other components
