Experimental Performance of a Direct Evaporative Cooler in Composite Climate of India

Evaporative air coolers are widely used in peak summer seasons for air conditioning in residential and commercial building spaces. Cooling pads play a major role in cooling efficiency and energy performance of the evaporative air coolers. This paper presents the experimental results of a direct evap...
