Choosing the wrong cooling pad can cost you thousands in wasted energy and poor performance. I've seen too many buyers regret their decision after installation.
The 7090 pads have larger honeycomb cells (7mm) for higher airflow but lower cooling efficiency, while 7060 pads (6mm cells) provide better temperature reduction but require more fan power. 7090 suits dry climates, 7060 works best in humid areas.
Many of our clients in Qatar and Saudi Arabia struggle with this choice. Let me break down the key differences so you can make the right decision.
Size and Structure Comparison?
The physical differences seem small but create major performance gaps. Last year, a dairy farm in Mexico had to replace all their pads because they didn't understand this.
7090 pads are 100mm thick with 7mm cell openings, while 7060 pads1 are 90mm thick with 6mm cells. The 7090's larger structure allows 15-20% more air volume, but the 7060's tighter design creates better water contact.

Water Retention
- 7090 holds 0.8 liters per m²
- 7060 holds 1.2 liters per m²
This explains why 7060 works better in dry climates

Our tests show 7060 pads maintain shape better under high wind conditions, making them ideal for coastal areas with strong winds.
Cooling Efficiency Differences?
Efficiency gaps become clear during hot seasons. A poultry farm in Thailand saw 5°C difference after switching pad types.
7060 pads1 achieve 80-85% cooling efficiency2 but reduce airflow by 25%. 7090 pads offer 70-75% efficiency with maximum airflow. The choice depends on your climate and ventilation system capacity.

- 7090 system uses 18-22 kW per 1000m³
- 7060 system uses 25-28 kW per 1000m³
- Fans must be 30% more powerful for 7060

Humidity Impact
- 7090 raises humidity by 15-20%
- 7060 raises humidity by 25-30%
- Not recommended for already humid climates
In Vietnam, we helped a textile factory save $12,000/year by switching from 7060 to 7090 pads after analyzing their local weather data.
Application Scenarios for Each Type?
Using the wrong pad type for your environment leads to quick failure. I've seen 7060 pads collapse within months in desert conditions.
Choose 70901 for large warehouses and dry climates. Use 7060 for livestock buildings and humid areas. Mixed systems work best for greenhouses with zone control.

A client in Saudi Arabia runs 7090 pads from May-September and switches to 70602 for October-April, achieving perfect year-round conditions.
How to Choose the Right Model for Your Project?
Selecting pads isn't about quality alone - it's about system matching. Many buyers waste money choosing based only on price.
Consider three factors: 1) Your local climate data1 2) Building dimensions2 3) Existing ventilation capacity3. Always request sample testing before bulk orders.
