Performance Investigation of Modified Desert Cooler
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 6
Abstract
Desert cooler is effective and efficient when the dry bulb temperature is high and the relative humidity is low, restricting its use to dry climates. Traditionally, desert cooler pads consist of wood wool, coconut coir or khus inside containment net. Now-a-day cel-dek pads are also very much in use because of its high efficiency of cooling.In desert cooler as the relative humidity increases with more moisture content in the air, the comfort level goes down even though the dry bulb temperature is not so high. In this paper to overcome this, the heating-coil is used tocontrol the humidity level of the room by increasing the temperature of the air by placing a heating coil across the cooling pad for summer cooling. In the winter season the same heating-coil can be used as a blower for increasing temperature of room.The experimental results with modified desert cooler reveals that temperature level decreases up to 7OC and humidity of the room increase by 20% but here the humidity is decreased with slightincrease in temperature to obtain the approximately required comfort zone which is suitable for the human being.
