Munters GLASdekTM GX 40 advantages
This unique material gives you a number of advantages thanks to its unique production process.
Higher cooling ratio
GLASdekTM GX 40 pads can handle far more air velocity than the competition. This means you need less fans for the required results, offering significant savings in the long run
Fireproof material
GLASdekTM GX 40 is baked twice and ceramically coated, making it fireproof as opposed to more common media types, which can be extremely flammable

Lower water consumption
Our modules consume less water, which is ideal for certain areas where clean, pure water is at a premium
Hard water handling
Our modules are robust enough to handle almost any water, no matter the hardness or the pH. This could mean you don’t need to invest in a full water purifying system on site
Long lasting
Because of how our media modules are made, they can last up to twice as long as the nearest competitor. This means less downtime, and better profit margins
Cleaning-in-place
The pads are robust and resistant enough to clean them using acids and disinfectants, without ruining their integrity. This means, once again, less replacement pads, and better uptime
Anti-legionella certification
Evaporative cooling relies on water troughs, and in the right conditions these can be home to legionella bacteria. GLASdek pads are proven against legionella, eliminating the risk of infection amongst people in the data center as a result of cooling.
