Abstract A spray cooling system for gable roofs having inclined first and second roof sections that intersect at a roof summit. The system comprises a conduit mounted atop the first roof section adjacent to the roof summit adapted to be connected with a supply of liquid coolant. The conduit has a first series of ports through which liquid coolant may be sprayed upon the first roof section and a second series of ports through which liquid coolant may be directed over the roof summit and sprayed upon the second roof section.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
180 words
A spray cooling system for a gable roof (in accordance with claim 1) having inclined first and second roof sections that intersect at a roof summit, said spray cooling system comprising a conduit mounted atop said first roof section adjacent said roof summit adapted to be connected with a supply of liquid coolant, and with said conduit having a first series of ports in a side of said conduit facing said first roof section and a second series of ports facing said roof summit, and wherein said conduit is of generally hollow, cylindrical configuration and is mounted atop said roof first section substantially horizontally (whereby) with a horizontal plane (bisects) bisecting the conduit into upper and lower conduit halves, and wherein said first series of ports is located in said lower conduit half and said second series of ports is located in said upper conduit half, whereby liquid coolant may be sprayed onto the first roof section from the first series of ports and sprayed over the roof summit upon the second roof section from the second series of ports.
