DESIGN AND PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF WALL MOUNTED AIR COOLER

Mechanical Engineering

Air cooling is a method of dissipating heat. It works by expanding the surface area or increasing the flow of air over the object to be cooled, or both. An example of the former is to add cooling fins to the surface of the object, either by making them integral or by attaching them tightly to the object’s surface (to ensure efficient heat transfer). In the case of the latter, it is done by using a fan blowing air into or on to object one wants to cool. The addition of fins to a heat sink increases its total surface area, resulting in greater cooling effectiveness. It is observed that the evaporative air cooler takes more floor space also by using wood wool for cooling purpose the consumption of water is more. On the other side, due to continuous running of the cooler, the moisture generates inside the room is more and feels uncomfortable during summer. So to overcome these problems, we are designing the wall mounted air cooler using cellulose pads which will be mounted on the wall with good air ventilation, so the moisture inside the room will be maintained and can use the floor space for other purposes. Also, we can reduce the consumption of water by using the cellulose pads for cooling of water.
