What are the unique advantages of Wet Curtain Wall compared with dry curtain wall?

1. Environmental adaptability
Wet curtain wall: It adopts a water circulation system and uses the evaporation principle of water to reduce the indoor temperature. It is especially suitable for hot and dry climate environments. The cooling effect can be controlled by adjusting water flow and wind speed to adapt to different climate conditions.
Dry curtain wall: mainly relies on air convection and radiation heat dissipation to reduce indoor temperature, and its cooling effect is greatly affected by climate conditions. In extremely hot or dry environments, the cooling effect of dry curtain walls may not be as significant as that of wet curtain walls.

2. Energy saving effect
Wet curtain wall: Since the evaporation of water consumes heat, the wet curtain wall can also take away a large amount of heat while cooling, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the building. The water circulation system of the wet curtain wall can recycle and utilize rainwater or wastewater to further improve the energy saving effect.
Dry curtain wall: The energy-saving effect is relatively limited, and it mainly relies on the natural ventilation and shading design of the building to reduce energy consumption.

3. Indoor air quality
Wet curtain wall: The evaporation of water can increase indoor humidity, improve indoor air quality, and reduce the generation of static electricity and dust. The water circulation system of the wet curtain wall can also filter impurities and pollutants in the air, providing fresher indoor air.
Dry curtain wall: It has relatively little impact on indoor air quality and mainly relies on the building's ventilation system and air purification equipment.


4. Aesthetics and design flexibility
Wet curtain wall: The water circulation system of the wet curtain wall can form a unique water curtain effect, increasing the beauty and ornamental value of the building. Designers can customize the design of wet curtain walls according to the style and use of the building, achieving greater design flexibility.
Dry curtain wall: The appearance design of dry curtain wall is relatively simple and mainly relies on the selection of curtain wall materials and colors to reflect the aesthetics of the building.

5. Maintenance and maintenance
Wet curtain wall: The water circulation system of the wet curtain wall requires regular cleaning and maintenance to prevent the growth of scale and microorganisms. Pay attention to water quality control and avoid using water sources containing corrosive substances.
Dry curtain wall: The maintenance of dry curtain wall is relatively simple. It mainly requires regular cleaning of the surface of the curtain wall and checking whether the connections are loose.
