AUTOMATIC EVAPORATIVE ROOF COOLING SYSTEMS
Spray Method
The April Showers Automatic Roof Cooling Systems are designed to stop solar heat at its source by evapora tive cooling. They have been used extensively since 1934 for under-roof cooling of industrial and commer cial buildings or to reduce initial and operating costs where a true air conditioning system is contemplated or in use. In the latter case, total tonage requirements are substantially reduced and operating costs cut an average of 25 percent.
April Showers Systems are completely automatic. The control thermostat is set to turn the system on at about 10 degrees above designed wet bulb temperature.
A four degree drop shuts of! the spray, holding the roof surface temperature at about 8 degrees above wet bulb temperature. This lowers under-roof temperatures 8 to 15 degrees. Not only is the roof temperature affected, but all supporting upright members and wails since
the heavy, cool air spills down over them thus cooling
them, too. It is important to note that the April Showers Spray-
head is scientifically designed to produce a fine DROP
on the roof which permits excellent evaporation; the
action that creates lowered temperatures.
April Showers operate on average city water pressure
or utilize well or condenser waste water. Consumption
is low, each Spray-head uses about 0.4 gpm and covers
about 200 square feet. They operate an average of one
minute in five; usually 15 or 20 seconds per spray pe
riod-
-----
Today, there are over 25,000,000 square feet of roofs
that are cooled by the April Showers Automatic Spray
Method Systems. They are operating on many of the
country's leading' industrial plants and commercial
buildings with gratifying results.
April Showers fit all shapes and sizes of roofs, help
prevent roof fires, act as Lightening arrestors, add
longer life to composition roofs and there is no run-off.
Estimates are made without charge; however, certain
pertinent data is necessary to establish the factors that
govern each individual installation. Ask or write for

WHY WE GUARANTEE OUR SYSTEM WILL NOT CLOG BECAUSE DURING the "patented" PIERCING operation, the copper tube immediately surrounding the opening being formed, becomes dished. Such dishing is automatic and is concomitant of this method of forming the opening. The depth of the dishing may be varied by modifying the physical characteristics of tube or tool. Immediately concentrically surrounding opening at the tube is dished radially inward. Because of the self-cleaning action produced by the flow in passing through the FrustoPyramidal opening, this opening may be extremely small while yet avoiding the clogging tendencies of the openings now found in other spraying devices.
