Functional principles of the OXYCELL when 
cooling

This section goes into more detail than the section entitled 

"Function" on page 6

; it 

will be of interest to readers who wish to know more about the cooling principles 
used.

A fan in the roof unit sucks in air from the outside. The incoming air is separated into 
two air streams within the OXYCELL: one air stream, which only comes into contact 
with a permanently dry surface in the OXYCELL, and a second air stream which flows 
across a different surface in the OXYCELL that is moistened by a sprinkler.

The air stream over the damp surface absorbs moisture and is allowed to escape 
through the roof unit. This cools the OXYCELL, thereby also cooling the air stream 
across the permanently dry surface in the OXYCELL. This cool, dry air flows through 
the OXYZONE into the caravan / camper.
