1. A heat exchanger device comprising:
a heat exchanger housing;
a first heat exchanger and a second heat exchanger, wherein each of the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger is flowed through by a fluid, wherein the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger are arranged on opposite sides of a longitudinal center plane of the heat exchanger housing and are spaced apart from one another and substantially in a vertical direction or inclined to the vertical direction;
at least one fan, arranged on an upper side of the heat exchanger housing, wherein the at least one fan is arranged between the first heat exchanger and a second heat exchanger;
at least a first adiabatic air cooler assigned to the first heat exchanger and a second adiabatic air cooler assigned to the second heat exchanger, wherein each of the first adiabatic air cooler and the second adiabatic air cooler is operable to cool air drawn in from a surrounding by the at least one fan, and wherein the air that is drawn in into the first adiabatic air cooler is firstly conducted through the at least one adiabatic air cooler and subsequently through the first heat exchanger, the air that is drawn into the second adiabatic air cooler is firstly conducted through the second adiabatic air cooler and subsequently through the second heat exchanger, and subsequently the air is blown out from the heat exchanger housing by the fan; and
a first humidification component arranged in the first adiabatic air cooler and a second humidification component arranged in the second adiabatic air cooler, wherein each of the first humidification component and the second humidification component is composed of a moisture-absorbing material; and a liquid feed, which feeds a liquid to the first humidification component and the second humidification component, in order to moisten the moisture-absorbing material of the first humidification component and the second humidification component with the liquid;
wherein each of the first humidification component and the second humidification component includes at least a first mat and a second mat arranged above the first mat;
wherein the liquid feed includes:
a first distributor device arranged above the first mat of the first humidification component to uniformly distribute the liquid onto the first mat of the first humidification component,
a second distributor device arranged above each of the first distributor device and the second mat of the first humidification component, to uniformly distribute the liquid onto the second mat of the first humidification component,
a third distributor device arranged above the first mat of the second humidification component to uniformly distribute the liquid onto the first mat of the second humidification component,
a fourth distributor device arranged above each of the third distributor device and the second mat of the second humidification component, to uniformly distribute the liquid onto the second mat of the second humidification component, and
a feed line connected directly to the first distributor device, the second distributor device, the third distributor device and the fourth distributor device, for charging the first distributor device, the second distributor device, the third distributor device and the fourth distributor device with the liquid.
