The World's Largest Cooling Umbrella System
The World's Largest Cooling Umbrella System An Evaporative Cooling Solution Condair Condair has designed, manufactured and supplied a sophisticated cooling umbrella system that conditions the air across a 15-hectare site in the Saudi Arabian city of Medina by up to 10°C. Medina is the second most important pilgrimage site in Islam and is home to one of the largest mosques in the world. Millions of Muslims make an annual pilgrimage to the Saudi city, which is hot and dry all year round. In the sun, the temperature often rises to 50°C. In order to provide visitors to the outdoor site with greater comfort and protection, large umbrellas have been erected to provide protection from the sun. There are a total of 250 sun umbrellas, with each one providing shade for an area of around 600 m2. Duri
